Introduction to Machine Learning

This talk gives a non-technical overview of Machine Learning and Artificial Neural Networks.
No prior experience with Machine Learning, Software Development, or maths is required. We’ll talk through what Artificial Neural Networks are, how they work, and the role data plays.

By the end of the session, you should feel confident enough with the inner workings of Artificial Neural Networks to recognise opportunities for their use, identify risks in implementation, and bore your friends and family at dinner parties.

Jack Rust has worked in a deli; tutored music, maths and software; worked as a Software Engineer and is currently a Product Manager at PaperCut.

He also has a Bachelors in Robotics and will happily talk about Artificial Intelligence until asked to stop.
