Machine Learning: What is it good for ?
What is **not** Machine
Learning ?• Tools: Databases, etc...
• Languages: Python, Java, LISP, Clojure, functional programming,....
• Frameworks
• Big Data
• High Performance Computing, Hadoop, GraphLab....
• Compressive sensing, ....
From Wikipedia
• "...Machine learning, a branch of artificial
intelligence, concerns the construction and
study of algorithms and systems that can
learn from data. In general, Machine
Learning algorithms process large amounts
of data, discover patterns in data, and
construct Predictive models for a desired
task...."
We've heard that story
before!
• AI winter 1990's
Avant, on avait
• Neural networks
• Fuzzy logic
• .....
Mais ça, c'était avant !
• Neural Networks (Deep Learning)
• Fuzzy logic (Bayesian logic, MCMC,....)
• ....
Why ?• Moore's Law
• Genome sequencer Law
• "new" math and statistics (small # observations, large # variables)
• and....
...the ability to prove its
worthiness
... the ability to prove
worthiness
Examples
• Engineering
• Search engines,
• web mining, click mining, Ad placement, RT Bidding
• Computer vision, image understanding, situational awareness
• Natural language processing, Machine Translation
• Anti-spam,
• Learning analytics
• Financial trading, HFT
• Recommender systems....
• Autonomous systems
• Scientific investigations: astronomy, genomics,...
Where are we, right
now?
Pourquoi ces
meet-ups?• Pour les débutants, permettre de voir ce qui est faisable au de-là
de considérations technologiques. Cette "science" est nouvelle, tout le monde souffre du syndrôme de l'imposteur à des degrés divers.
• Pour les experimentés
• Apprendre
• Meilleure connaissance des avancées algorithmiques
• Pour tous
• Dévelopement d'une culture parisienne et française des données et des algorithmes d'apprentissages.
