Join ACENET for an introductory session that explores the fundamentals of machine learning and its applications.
We’ll break down key terminology—machine learning, deep learning, and neural networks—so you can confidently navigate the field. You'll learn about essential methods, from simple models like Linear Regression and Decision Trees for classification to more advanced techniques such as Support Vector Machines and Neural Networks—the foundation of Large Language Models. We’ll also discuss practical considerations for setting up a machine learning project, including the resources you need, data collection strategies, factors that contribute to success, and lessons to take away when things don’t go as planned.
Bring your questions and join the conversation!
