It's an exciting time to be thinking about machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI), but it can be challenging to figure out a practical and reasonable approach to using these capabilities. Rapidly emerging technologies, disruptive economics, and a lack of best practices can leave you uncertain where to start or how to optimize an existing approach.
In this exclusive online seminar, Hilary Mason, General Manager of Machine Learning at Cloudera, demystifies machine learning and artificial intelligence for the enterprise and discusses:
- The history of machine learning
- Why now is the time to think about investing
- How to identify and execute on practical machine learning opportunities
