Practical AI Workshop

0.25 Credits · Level: Graduate

This workshop will provide students with a hands-on introduction to the concepts and code behind modern machine learning systems. It will be divided into three modules: In the first module, we will cover some foundational concepts in data science and a basic introduction to coding in Python. In the second module, we will discuss several major machine learning algorithms and their applications. In the third module, we will move onto neural network-based machine learning and cover a few of the major architectures behind today's cutting-edge AI systems. By the end of the workshop, students will be able to better understand the capabilities and limitations of today's newest AI systems, train simple models themselves in Python, and articulate some of the ethical issues raised by modern machine learning. No coding experience is necessary and no math beyond high school algebra is required.
