Do you want to know what’s currently going on in AI in different industries and what the role of us humans are? Do you want to know how to simplify the machine learning design process?

Every industry is undergoing disruption, driven by the integration of more data sources, higher volumes, and new business scenarios like personalisation and predictive maintenance. Data scientists and engineers need intelligent and automated tools to scale high capacity pipelines and machine learning initiatives with less overhead.

One of the data scientist’s biggest hurdles is designing and selecting machine learning models. With DataRobot, it’s possible to shorten pipeline development cycles and reduce overall development costs.

We’ll demonstrate how DataRobot can revolutionise machine learning design by automatically selecting models and building smart data pipelines without manual coding.

Hong Kong Data Science Society and Artificial Intelligence Hong Kong are proud to host Sprint Milestone and DataRobot, as they share more about trends in AI as well as automating the machine learning process with minimal technical expertise. Join us more to find out!
