Abstract - Machine learning methods have allowed us to create many powerful and practical models from data to develop many new and life changing technologies. Understanding the underlying algorithms behind the methods provides insight into how the data is being used to learn patterns and achieve the specific goal. This talk will give a quick run through of some common methods used in data science and the assumptions that are behind each of them.

Dr. Shahrad Jamshidi is a data scientist and co-founder at the Australian startup, Remi AI. He works remotely in Santa Rosa, where he implements different machine learning algorithms on a wide range of consulting projects. He received his doctorate in Applied Mathematics at the Freie Universitaet Berlin, Germany and his Bachelor of Science at the University of Sydney, Australia. His collaborations with biologists and ecologists during his graduate research pushed him in the direction of data analysis and machine learning.
