About the Webinar
Machine learning is experiencing a renaissance. While many of the fundamental concepts behind supervised and unsupervised ML and brain-inspired deep learning techniques are not new, the pace of commercial advancement has picked up significantly in recent years and shows no sign of abating. Rapid improvement in technologies that support ML – from scalable parallel architectures to commercial cloud environments to neuromorphic hardware architectures – are driving significant investments with demonstrable results. After a brief overview of the major ML approaches, participants in this webinar will learn:
- How to choose the right ML approach or mix of approaches for specific applications,
- How the ML vendor market is maturing (using a new model of the ML landscape), and
- How to evaluate opportunities for ML integration in their own environments
