I have always been interested in Data Science. Now that I am in college, I am planning to pursue this field, so this event will be an opportunity for me to see what the field is like the future of the field and what awaits me as I graduate.
My main center of focus as of now is NLP as I love to work with text data, so I want to know what the future of this specific field is like, and I believe that this event will allow me to acquire this information.
Tojo - Undergraduate Student
I’m enthusiastic about data science, especially considering how quickly technology is changing the profession.
I enjoy being a part of new technologies and trying out innovative solutions, which I noticed your event also values. In particular, as my graduation date nears, I am interested in learning new technologies that are being used in the field and developing networks within the machine learning community so that I can hopefully discover a position for me after graduation.
With regards to learning, I’m especially interested in artificial intelligence after learning about machine learning in my studies, and I’m eager to understand how to use AI in a more practical capacity.
