Introduction:
As data sources proliferate along with the computing power to process them, going straight to the data is one of the most straightforward ways to quickly gain insights & make predictions. Machine learning brings together computer science & statistics to harness that predictive power. It's a must-have skill for all aspiring data analysts & data scientists, or anyone else who wants to wrestle all that raw data into refined trends & predictions.
This is a training that will teach you the end-to-end process of investigating data through a machine-learning lens. It will teach you how to extract & identify useful features that best represent your data, a few of the most important machine learning algorithms, & how to evaluate the performance of your machine learning algorithms. In this Boot Camp, you will learn about the most effective machine learning techniques, & gain practice implementing them & getting them to work for yourself. More importantly, you'll learn about not only the theoretical underpinnings of learning, but also gain the practical knowledge needed to quickly & powerfully apply these techniques to new problems.
This series of workshops are focused on explaining the foundations & intuitions of machine learning / deep learning along with guided programming exercises & applying deep learning techniques to practical applications in Computer Vision, Natural Language Processing, Robotics, & Intelligent Video Analytics to solve real-world problems. In hands-on workshops, you will work on a project to create & deploy working applications.

Details:
Attendees would have access to course materials (presentations & programming exercises as well as video resources). Help would be available through Slack channels, which attendees can join through invitation & ask questions after each workshop. The topics covered in each workshop are described in detail below.
For hands-on workshops 5 - 8, you will have a chance to work on a 5-week project, which starts from the fourth week of October & ends in the third week of November. The project instructions are provided every week according to the schedules in the table below. We have office hours right after the instructions so that you can ask questions and/or work on your project. The remote access to the instructions would be available through WebEX. The recorded instruction videos would also be available along with video resources through Thinkific (https://www.thinkific.com/). Help would also be available through Slack channel, which attendees can join through invitation & ask questions during 5 weeks for each project. Attendees will receive the feedback from instructors for each competed project.

Target Audiences:
Engineers, researchers, practitioners & students who are interested in data science, machine learning, convolutional neural networks, recurrent neural networks, reinforcement learning & their real-time production deployment. This workshop series will particularly benefit people who intend to develop machine learning techniques & applications that can keep improving themselves after seeing more & diverse data to achieve intelligence and/or wants to pursue a career in data science, machine learning, & artificial intelligence.

FAQs:
Given that there are several free resources available on web for machine learning & deep learning, why do I need to take this course?
While many materials are available online, it is difficult to find the right materials for your learning goal & sometimes even hard to know where to start. Some of them are unstructured & do not have the quality & rigor needed for educational program. This course offers comprehensive coverage of materials from fundamentals to advanced topics including hands-on practices for a specific application such as computer vision, natural language processing, robotics & video analytics. The whole course consists of 8 individual workshops & is organized in such a way that you can learn effectively for your goal. You have a choice to take a complete course, a course for a specific target application or an individual workshop depending on your needs.
How can I select a workshop or multiple workshops during the registration process?
The Boot Camp is available to register as a complete course & also as a custom package of individual workshops. For instance, you can select "Any 5 workshops" ticket & then make choices for the course in the registration form. Please see this document for the details of the workshop selection process.
What are the materials that are provided to the attendees?
Course slides in PDF & other workshop materials will be shared with registered attendees 5-days before the course. In addition, programming examples/exercises are also provided as Jupyter notebooks so that attendees can run them from their browser using Google Colaboratory (a hosted Jupyter notebook environment that is free to use & requires no setup).

I purchased "Any 5 workshops" ticket & it mentions all the courses I selected. However, the ticket mentions only 1 day (8/29). Is the ticket valid for all the workshops listed on my ticket.
Sorry for the confusion - it has to do with how eventbrite handles multi-day events. Yes, the ticket is valid for a all the workshops listed on your ticket.
I purchased "All 8 workshops (complete package)" ticket. However, the ticket mentions only 1 day (8/29). Is the ticket valid for all the workshops?
Sorry for the confusion - it has to do with how eventbrite handles multi-day events. Yes, the ticket is valid for a all the 8 workshops.
What is ValleyML.ai?
