SoftServe Meetup: Machine Learning Design, Demystified

WHAT: Join us at SoftServe Austin HQ for our latest meetup, “Machine Learning Design, Demystified” for free food, local craft beer, and discussion on machine learning architecture.

Once available only to scientists, today machine learning (ML) is open to a much broader audience of software architects and engineers. Inspired by attribute-driven design (ADD) and Smart Decisions (a software architecture design game for big data), the authors are happy to present a new version of the game focused on designing ML systems.

In this participatory session, you will learn about designing the architecture for ML systems via series of gamified interactive exercises. We will simulate state-of-the-art ML design systems by analyzing both business and technical requirements, selecting the best matching algorithms, and teaching how to validate early design decisions using rapid prototyping techniques.

Attendees are encouraged to think of an ML use case and bring it to the meetup for discussion.
