Overview

IChemE TTMG will be hosting a webinar led by a Data Scientist who will give insight into data science as an interdisciplinary field that combines mathematics, statistics, computer science, and domain knowledge to extract knowledge and insights from structured and unstructured data.

Machine learning is a subfield of artificial intelligence (AI) that focuses on developing algorithms and models that allow computers to learn and make predictions or decisions without being explicitly programmed. This webinar will explore these futuristic tools as an avenue for optimisation.
