Abstract
“Machine learning” is a very hot topic. But what does it mean? What is it really? How is it accomplished? How does it affect us? Did we enroll R2D2 in college? This presentation will define machine learning and explain what it means and how it is applied in both the research and the applied practitioner worlds.
This subject has been given as a one or two semester course at various schools and universities. It could be far more than this because of the basic statistics and underlying mathematics. This lecture will cover the basic principles and definitions of the various aspects of machine learning. Explanation of each current type will be discussed. Some methods and example applications will be covered. Some of the subjects that will be explained are: Data mining, various clustering methods, self organizing maps, model building, decision trees, Bayesian learning, and supervised vs. unsupervised training. These will be explained relative to the definitions given.
About the Speaker
Dr. Morantz has a B.S. in C.I.S. and E.E., a M.S. and Ph.D. in Decision Science, a mixture of mathematical science, psychology, and computer science. He has additional post doctoral course work in Computational BioScience, Computer Science, statistical design methodology, and Design Analysis Simulation Experiments (DASE). Dr. Morantz has published and presented on neural networks, multiprocessing mathematics, biologically inspired computing architecture, data-mining, and intelligent decision making. His current research is in biologically inspired computing for intelligent decision making. He is currently Sr Staff Scientist for Bluemont Technology & Research, Inc of McLean VA.
