November 24 Talk with SIGKDD Innovation Award Winner Pedro Domingos: "The Five Tribes of Machine Learning..."
Register TODAY for the next free ACM Learning Webinar, "The Five Tribes of Machine Learning (And What You Can Learn from Each)," presented on Thursday, November 24, 2015 at 12 pm ET (11 am CT/10 am MT/9 am PT/5 pm GMT) by Pedro Domingos, Professor of Computer Science at the University of Washington in Seattle and winner of the SIGKDD Innovation. Gregory Piatetsky-Shapiro, President of KDnuggets, founder of Knowledge Discovery in Database (KDD) conferences, and co-founder of ACM SIGKDD, moderates. (If you'd like to attend but can't make it to the virtual event, you still need to register to receive a recording of the webinar when it becomes available.) Note: You can stream this and all ACM Learning Webinars on your mobile device, including smartphones and tablets. There are five main schools of thought in machine learning, and each has its own master algorithm – a general-purpose learner that can in principle be applied to any domain. The symbolists have inverse deduction, the connectionists have backpropagation, the evolutionaries have genetic programming, the Bayesians have probabilistic inference, and the analogizers have support vector machines. What we really need, however, is a single algorithm combining the key features of all of them. In this webinar Pedro Domingos will summarize the five paradigms and describe his work toward unifying them, including in particular Markov logic networks. Pedro will conclude by speculating on the new applications that a universal learner will enable, and how society will change as a result. Duration: 60 minutes (including audience Q&A) Presenter: Pedro Domingos, University of Washington in Seattle; SIGKDD Innovation Award Winner Pedro Domingos is a professor of computer science at the University of Washington in Seattle. He is a winner of the SIGKDD Innovation Award, the highest honor in data science. He is a Fellow of the Association for the Advancement of Artificial Intelligence, and has received a Fulbright Scholarship, a Sloan Fellowship, the National Science Foundation’s CAREER Award, and numerous best paper awards. He received his Ph.D. from the University of California at Irvine and is the author or co-author of over 200 technical publications. He has held visiting positions at Stanford, Carnegie Mellon, and MIT. He co-founded the International Machine Learning Society in 2001. His research spans a wide variety of topics in machine learning, artificial intelligence, and data science, including scaling learning algorithms to big data, maximizing word of mouth in social networks, unifying logic and probability, and deep learning. Moderator: Gregory Piatetsky-Shapiro, KDnuggets; SIGKDD Co-Founder Gregory Piatetsky-Shapiro is President of KDnuggets, which provides consulting in the areas of business analytics, data mining, data science, and knowledge discovery. Previously, he led data mining and consulting groups at GTE Laboratories, Knowledge Stream Partners, and Xchange. Gregory is also Editor and Publisher of KDnuggets News and the KDnuggets.com website, leading resources for data mining and analytics news, software, jobs, courses, data, education, and more. Gregory is the founder of Knowledge Discovery in Database (KDD) conferences.
