Global Azure 2024: "Mad Data Science: Using AI to Build Ridiculous Things" with Matt Eland
Global Azure was a community event that happened over several days in 2024 April 18-20, 2024. Columbus Ohio Azure Meetup (Azure CBUS) hosted six rapid fire speakers that each gave a quick talk on a different topic within the Azure ecosystem.
Mad Data Science: Using AI to Build Ridiculous Things
Matt Eland
Have you ever gotten into an argument on whether or not Die Hard is a Christmas movie and thought "If only machine learning could help" or "What could I do to automate my dog's daily routine and make his life easier" or "Is it possible to spend 3 months time to determine if I can sleep in 5 minutes tomorrow morning"? If so, we might get along.
Come join this lighthearted talk as we explore some ridiculous uses of AI and Machine Learning with topics ranging from large language models to reinforcement learning to simple regression algorithms. You'll get a brief survey of data science and AI and see how these fascinating technologies can be used for fun and profit—and how simple hobby projects can lead to real learning, growth, and innovation.
As a bonus, you'll find out the truth about Die Hard and come away with some helpful starting points for trying your own mad data science experiments.
