Microsoft Machine Learning Workshop

We are an on-campus space for students who want to explore the world of entrepreneurship, turn their ideas into products and businesses and develop the skills necessary to succeed as an entrepreneur.The Launch Zone is one part of a whole network of zones at Ryerson, but what makes us different is that we are accessible to every student with a great idea. You don’t need to be focused on a specific industry because the Launch Zone is a creative collision space and we encourage collaboration on every level.

<H4 CLASS="MsoNormal">Session 1:</H4>
<H4 CLASS="MsoNormal">Predict the future with Machine Learning:</H4>
Machine Learning has become a buzzword in industry. The power of predictive analytics is used in medical research, marketing, finances, professional sports and more! In this session you will learn how to execute machine learning experiments using Azure Machine Learning Studio. No previous experience with programming or data science is required. Those who do have experience are welcome to attend and explore the toolset. In this session you will learn: how to use Azure ML studio to take a dataset to train a model; how to evaluate the accuracy of a trained model; and how to expose your trained model as a web service so you can create a website or application that makes its own predictions. Don't just come listen, bring your laptop and try it yourself!
 
<H4>Session 2:</H4>
<H4>The Machine Learning Challenge:</H4>
Machine Learning is a powerful tool, and if you attended our first session you learned the basics, now it’s time to really dig in and try it for yourself. What do you do when the accuracy of your predictions doesn’t meet your business needs? What can you do differently with the data or the algorithms to improve your results?  Ideally you attended the first session to learn the basics, but if you missed it you can <A HREF="http://t.sidekickopen53.com/e1t/c/5/f18dQhb0S7lC8dDMPbW2n0x6l2B9nMJW7t5XZs3Lr8qvN8p-TcdRbSJnW3LqXLC56dJy8f2JP00002?t=https%3A%2F%2Ftracking.cirrusinsight.com%2Fbfcbe602-34c7-4e1f-99a5-a198a8700386%2Fblogs-msdn-microsoft-com-cdndevs-2016-02-18-step-by-step-how-to-predict-the-future-with-machine-learning&si=5685978818674688&pi=86edb66a-eee7-46ff-f66c-8ae50cc60372" TARGET="_blank" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">complete this tutorial</A> to catch up on what you missed. In this session we will challenge you to train a model to get higher accuracy, get hands on and make changes to improve the results. Bring you laptop and get ready to run your own Machine Learning experiments!
