Prague, April

On this blog site, we've been usually preaching just how Machine Learning was expanding out of its historic habitat of academics and R&D labs into a myriad of sectors by running wise programs. One of the reflections of this trend can be seen when you look at the few conferences and activities which are bringing together true to life professionals and business frontrunners that need to find techniques to integrate device Mastering within their core activities.

We have been additionally happy to announce BigML’s energetic involvement within occasion that take place on April 23–24, 2016.

In the organizers’ terms “This is certainly not another academic conference. Our goal is to foster discussion between machine learning professionals and all people that are thinking about programs of modern-day styles in synthetic cleverness. It Is Possible To enjoy inspiring individuals, algorithms, information, applications, workshops and a lot of fun during both days also in the afterparty.”

And our Co-founders Adam Ashenfelter and Poul Petersen, the speakers roster includes a remarkable mix of organizations including the well-established (e.g. Facebook, Yandex, Avast, Microsoft) to the up-and-coming European begin ups. You can see the complete program at your convenience, but below are a few highlights of what you can be prepared to get out of it whilst sampling the best brews European countries has to offer:
