What you'll learn

AI/ML and the Mundanity of ExcellenceAbout a half-decade ago, Machine Learning was seen by many as exciting, exotic, and perhaps even a little dangerous; today it has become ubiquitous, and so, as a direct consequence, mundane. However, this mundanity should not deter us from studying AI/ML or make us think any less of the possibilities that it represents - indeed ML techniques and platforms have reached a level of boring excellence that makes them very well suited to solving a range of real-world problems. The maturity and robustness of AI/ML offerings these days means that enterprises need not think twice before using such technologies, even for critical applications.In this special S&P Global talk, hear from popular Pluralsight Author Janani Ravi as she speaks and answers your most pressing questions about ML. She will also:

  • Explain ML, starting with an overview of what exactly Machine Learning is
  • Cover the most widely used Machine Learning algorithms and their use cases
  • Explain the intuition behind traditional and representation ML models and supervised and unsupervised learning
  • Discuss how neural networks work - including backpropagation and gradient descent
  • Explore the importance of data in machine learning

The data engineering role has advanced significantly over the last decade with the emergence of Big Data, scalable processing, cloud data warehouses, and the evolution of automation, AI/ML, and data analytics. Whether these areas sound mysterious or intriguing, the EssentialTECH Data Engineering Learning Journey provides you with the knowledge and tools necessary to start or advance your career or prep for mobility opportunities.The EssentialTECH Data Engineering journey guides you through a learning itinerary, during which you can earn proficiency-focused passport stamps for each skill destination along the way. To support your journey, we’ve launched the EssentialTECH Xchange (ETX). ETX offers networking and social learning opportunities, and in the upcoming months, we’ll be releasing new activities and resources to support your learning, including speaker sessions like this one.
