This will be a brief overview of the ML: Algorithms & Applications course that Sergey Fogelson will be teaching starting August 8th. He will do a live "teach" of a bit of the first ML class, going over a comparison of linear vs. non-linear classification algorithms. At the end, Sergey will then take any questions from event attendees about the course.

There will be a cap of 30 people at this course to maintain instruction quality.
