Do you have large amounts of data you want to leverage to predict the answers to difficult questions?  The seemingly new field of Machine Learning (ML) has been around for almost 60 years with this exact goal in mind.  While machine larning is closely tied to statistics, do not let mathematical anxiety derail the value you can obtain in applying machine learning to your data.
In this session, we introduct the fundamentals of ML to get you started without requiring the intense mathematics background.  We will look at how to frame your data questions, determine if ML fits best to answer your questions, as well as understanding the type of outputs it can provide in responding with predictions.  We will cover a high-level overview of the different models and spend our time focused on the simple process of determining the right algorithm to use, with demos and examples to show how easy it is to start using machine learning today.
