QCon San Francisco 2019

Introduction to AI/ML for Software Engineers" is a fast-paced learning path on machine learning from a software professional's point of view. The class is designed with the goal of providing students with a hands-on introduction to machine learning concepts and systems, as well as giving them the practical skills to walk away with the foundational skills to embark on ML projects in a professional setting. Over the course of two days, attendees will be put through several hands-on exercises that stimulate learning through writing and executing code, instead of passive lectures. Students will get first-hand experience at cleaning data, implementing machine learning programs, and solving real problems in tuning, deploying, scaling, and maintaining machine learning systems. Each attendee will be provided with a comprehensive virtual machine programming environment that is preconfigured for the tasks in the learning path, as well as any future machine learning experimentation and development that they will do.
