Hub: Data Analytics Users Group
Description
Artificial Intelligence - From Bust to Boom
Presented by Jason Spackman, Data Scientist, IBM
Join us at the next Data Analytics Users Group when Jason Spackman from IBM covers the evolution of artificial intelligence – both then and now. Spackman will start the discussion with the original vision of computers and learning and then move forward into classical machine learning, as well as what users have been doing for the last 15 years.
Later he’ll discuss the modern paradigm and how advances in processing have started to throw open the doors to machine learning, finally starting to fill aspects of the original vision. He'll wrap up with a couple of live examples, including using IBM ML to create a simple predictive model.
About the speaker

He leverages machine learning to help clients understand how data and analytics can be used to understand and solve their objectives. Jason spent six years with SPSS, which was acquired by IBM. He has now been with IBM for eight years. Jason has worked with predictive analytic tools for the last 20 years.
About the Data Analytics Users Group
Key regional leaders in manufacturing and the Department of Defense supply chain have identified the use of data analytics as an important technology impacting our region's competitiveness. To accelerate our region’s learning and investment, the Quad Cities Manufacturing and Innovation Hub has formed a Data Analytics Users Group for members to discuss and leverage their knowledge regarding this particular technology.Presented by Jason Spackman, Data Scientist, IBM
