Building Skynet: Machine learning for software developers

How does Netflix know that I'd like that new movie which just released? How does Google know which ads to serve to me? How do games like Halo and Titanfall put me in game lobbies to create even matches? All these questions are answered with machine learning algorithms. Machine learning can sometimes look difficult. This session aims to break down the barrier to entry for machine learning and show how powerful even the most simple algorithms can be. Expect plenty of sample code to show just how quick and easy these basic algorithms can be.
