AI: “It is an astonishing time to be a technologist.”
Saturday, October 31, 2020 at 1:30PM Want to master artificial intelligence (AI) techniques? A new book, The Supervised Learning Workshop, teaches you how to create machine-learning models using the Python programming language. A conversation with the co-author, Blaine Bateman.
Blaine Bateman is a business strategy consultant, helping companies identify growth strategies and opportunities.
Several years ago he decided to focus on data analysis or, more accurately, predictive analytics using machine learning.
“I started to see that clients had lots of data, frequently they didn’t know anything about it and they weren’t using it,” he says. “At the same time, I started to see that AI and machine learning were really on the uptick.”
Machine learning work is also rewarding, he says: “You build stuff and when you get it to work, you do something that helps someone.”
