Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence have been the buzzwords over the last couple of years. Everyone seems to be doing it, but most people have a minimal understanding of what it actually means. In this workshop you will get an overview of the basic concepts behind machine learning, some real-world applications and the implications for our lives apart from the dystopian futures. Further, you will be able to try your hands at teaching a system to extract information from documents. You can see the effects of quality and size of training material on the results firsthand. At the end of the evening you should be able to tell fact from fiction and have a feeling for what Machine Learning can do for you.

Absolutely no programming skills are required! But please bring along a laptop and your curiosity.
