CCA Colloquium: Viviana Acquaviva
Title: Machine Learning with pen and paper
Abstract: Are you deeply annoyed by the pervasivity of machine learning in any discussion nowadays? Do you want to know which questions to ask in order to show your colleagues that you, too, understand machine learning and know what stuff they are trying to sweep under the rug (while they still don't understand magnetic fields or the impact of the IMF)? Do you wish to learn the one and only algorithm that will give you a decent prediction for any supervised learning problem? Come to this blackboard colloquium and prepare for your new life as a machine learning practitioner!
