As more professionals clamor to enter the fields of data science and machine learning, a new generation of educational institutions has arrived on the scene. Business schools offer new executive education programs, such as CS departments specialized programs in data science. We’re also seeing a surge of organizations that offer programs of intense training within the duration of a few weeks, which are gaining notoriety and popularity. Having several options is great, but it can often be confusing to decide which direction to follow. One must ask the question- “which program is the right for me?”
We feel that a sampling approach is a great method to discover which program is the best fit for each individual. This April, MLconf NYC attendees will have the opportunity to experience a demo class from METIS. Mike Galvin will present “An introduction to word2vec and working with text data”. In this session, Galvin will introduce the basics of working with textual data using various Python libraries while several examples of real-world applications are offered. The class will start by introducing the basic bag of word representation and move onto other models with an emphasis on word2vec. By the end of this talk, participants will be able to use Python to explore and build their own models on text data.

MLconf will be adding a training session soon! Stay tuned for more details!
