Cloud Machine Learning

About

Joseph Sirosh will talk about how the cloud is changing the picture for data science and machine learning. Bringing the power of the cloud to machine learning makes it possible to dramatically compress the time it takes to develop and deploy analytics in production. With examples from various case studies he will show how Azure Machine Learning, Microsoft's new product, enables the use of the latest algorithms for big data, and how easily scalable cloud APIs can be built and deployed to enable intelligence in any connected application.
