Joining us today we have my esteemed colleague Paul Spiegelhalter. Paul is a data scientist and machine learning specialist with expertise in predictive analytics and algorithmic modeling across a number of industries, including computer vision, online advertising and user analysis, medical diagnostics, natural language processing, and anomaly detection. There’s a lot of hype in the media these days around Machine Learning, Data Science and Artificial Intelligence. Today we are going to discuss the difference between the terms, really concentrating on what machine learning is at the 101 level and we want to talk about how it applies to you in the enterprise. As always we will also include some handy tips on how you can get started and how you can learn more about it.
