POSTPONED ANNOUNCEMENT
After needing to postpone the AI workshop twice, we are excited to have a new date for the Accelerated Introduction to AI/Machine Learning. Please join us on the new date of June 20, at 10:00 a.m. CDT.


AI approaches based on machine learning (ML) methodologies are experiencing explosive growth in adoption, usage, and results—enabled by the corresponding increases in digital data generation and availability and in cost-effective computational power including GPUs and accelerators. This workshop will accelerate understanding of the entire ML process by using prepared scripts, data, and codes, and the ‘cooking show’ method of initiating steps but then quickly moving to completed versions of each step. It will provide hands-on experience with a classical machine learning problem and a deep learning problem, emphasizing context and understanding of the process--not just tools and techniques--through these scripts and steps.
