Join us for an introduction to the growing field of Machine Learning and dig into its real world applications. Graduate statistics student Scott Smith will go over his methodology for his project related to NC voter data, and show how it can create interesting news stories. Those who attend this event will have the opportunity a date soon after to participate in a mini-“hackathon” to help accomplish tasks on the project, a wonderful opportunity to see the intersection between journalism, computer science, and statistics.
For those participating in CADS’ kaggle competition or DataFest, this is a good way to see Machine Learning in action and how it could be used in you r project.\
