<P><STRONG>About the Workshop</STRONG>:</P>
<P>Machine learning & especially deep learning is rapidly becoming prevalent in products we use every day.<A HREF="http://scikit-learn.org/stable/" TARGET="_blank" REL="noopener noopener noreferrer noopener nofollow noopener noreferrer nofollow noreferrer nofollow nofollow noreferrer nofollow">Scikit-learn</A>is a fantastic toolkit to get started on making real world models in Python. It's powerful & very easy to deploy. The best part of Scikit-learn for those who aren't very strong in mathematics is that no math background is necessary.</P>
<P>Once we build some traditional models, we'll move on to keras & tensorflow, excellent tools for doing deep learning. We'll build a few deep learning models to classify images & explore how they work.</P>
