From Ancient Greeks to Modern Geeks - Basic Machine Learning Algorithms

Explore fundamental machine learning algorithms in this 45-minute conference talk that demystifies the core concepts behind ML without requiring specialized programming languages or frameworks. Learn how machine learning isn't the complex black magic it's often perceived to be, but rather a collection of straightforward techniques that can be implemented with just a few lines of code. Discover the practical applications of Naive Bayes, Bayes Classifiers, N-Nearest Neighbour, Decision Trees, and Linear Regression through code-neutral demonstrations that work from first principles. Gain a solid foundation in basic machine learning concepts that will enable you to continue your ML journey with confidence, moving beyond the hype to understand what machine learning actually is and how it works in practice.
