Introduction to Machine Learning with Andreas Mueller, core developer of scikit-learn
The resurging interest in machine learning is due to multiple factors including growing volumes and varieties of data,and cheaper computational processing. Thus making it possible to quickly and automatically produce models that can analyze bigger, more complex data and deliver faster, more accurate results on a very large scale. scikit-learn (http://scikit-learn.org/) has emerged as one of the most popular open source machine learning toolkits, now widely used in academia and industry.
scikit-learn provides easy-to-use interfaces in Python to perform advanced analysis and build powerful predictive models.

Andreas Mueller received his MS degree in Mathematics (Dipl.-Math.) in 2008 from the Department of Mathematics at the University of Bonn. In 2013, he finalized his PhD thesis at the Institute for Computer Science at the University of Bonn. After working as a machine learning scientist at the Amazon Development Center Germany in Berlin for a year, he joined the Center for Data Science at the New York University in the end of 2014. In his current position as assistant research engineer at the Center for Data Science, he works on open source tools for machine learning and data science. He is one of the core contributors of scikit-learn, a machine learning toolkit widely used in industry and academia, for several years, and has authored and contributed to a number of open source projects related to machine learning.
Curriculum
This workshop will cover basic concepts of machine learning, such as supervised and unsupervised learning, cross-validation and model selection, and how they map to programming concepts in scikit-learn. Andreas will demonstrate how to prepare data for machine learning, and go from applying a single algorithm to building a machine learning pipeline. We will cover the trade-offs of learning on large datasets, and describe some techinques to handle larger-than-RAM and streaming data on a single machine.

Introduction to Deep Learning with Tensorflow Contributor and Kaggle Winner Dan Becker
Machine learning applications depend on a researcher handcrafting features. Deep learning has become hugely important since it allows a deep network to learn features by itself. Deep learning modeling is mostly unsupervised and by utilizing large-scale neural nets allow computers to learn and “think” by itself without the need for direct human intervention. Deep learning promises to revolutionize tasks such as image recognition, speech recognition, and other AI challenges.
Bio
Dan is the Technical Product Director at DataRobot. He has broad data science expertise, with consulting experience for 6 companies from the Fortune 100, a 2nd place finish in Kaggle’s $3million Heritage Health Prize, and contributions to the Keras and Tensorflow libraries for deep learning. Dan has a PhD in Econometrics from the University of Virginia.
Curriculum
– Basic model set-up in Keras
– Multi-class classification
– Convolutional neural networks
– Debugging deep learning models

Deep Learning with H2O Open Platform with Jo-fai (Joe) Chow
H2O is fast scalable open-source machine learning and deep learning platform. Using in-memory compression techniques, H2O can handle billions of data rows in-memory — even on small compute clusters. The platform includes interfaces for R, Python, Scala, Java, JS and JSON, along with its interactive graphical Flow interface that make it easier for non-engineers to stitch together complete analytic workflows. H2O was built alongside (and on top of) both Hadoop and Spark clusters and is deployed within minutes. It is a math and machine learning engine that brings distribution and parallelism to powerful algorithms that enable you to make better predictions and more accurate models faster.
Bio
Jo-fai (Joe) is a data scientist at H2O.ai. Before joining H2O, he was in the business intelligence team at Virgin Media where he developed data products to enable quick and smart business decisions. He also worked remotely for Domino Data Lab as a data science evangelist promoting products via blogging and giving talks at meetups.

Step by Step Bot Construction - Micheleen Harris
This tutorial will ramp up the attendee very quickly on the Microsoft Bot Framework, providing sample code upon which to base a bot experience. In this tutorial the attendee will build their own intelligent bot. This tutorial will help attendees decide if they want to make a bot to solve a repetitive task they have encountered or they know might be useful to others. User experience will be heavily emphasized to create the best bot experiences. Components will be laid out for the attendee.
Bio
Micheleen is a Data Scientist and trainer at Microsoft where she shares her Python, R and advanced analytics experience internally and externally. She has led or co-led workshops around data science and analytics concepts in Python and R, often utilizing Jupyter notebooks for interactive coding. Micheleen has developed a “Python for the Data Scientist” course delivered on Jupyter notebooks and have delivered this at Microsoft several times and look forward to its external release. She has also delivered courses utilizing Microsoft Azure and covering DocumentDB, Cognitive Services, the Bot Framework, as well as other components of the Cortana Intelligence Suite. She enjoys teaching/training and finding the most effective ways to teach data science and advanced analytics on any size dataset.

Modeling in R with Jared Lander, Chief Data Scientist of Lander Analytics and Author of R for Everyone,
At one point the open source language, R, was considered the lingua franca for data science in terms of programming. As more languages competing for that title, R still has a very passionate following. In fact, one of the main strengths of R is its huge community that provides open source user-contributed packages (CRAN), documentation and very active user support group. R packages are a collection of R functions and data that make it easy to immediately get access to the latest techniques and functionalities without needing to develop everything from scratch yourself.
