TOPIC: AI and Machine Learning to Drive Customer Experience

While we all use AI and ML products in our day to day lives, whether it is watching movies on Netflix or summoning virtual assistants to check weather or account balance, it is important to understand why the technology is much more prevalent today than a few years ago. Also, successful AI and ML implementations require clear business objectives and governance to account for potential risks. Banks leverage AI and ML to create seamless user experiences, driving value for their customers – ranging from fraud detection to portfolio management to marketing to voice identification.

ADDITIONAL HACKING SESSION INFO

For anyone interested in building and analyzing networks, Jenny Liu will be at the "hack" sessions with some code each week related to networks. The goal will be to go through some basic exercises from a book, then move onto reproducing the results of some papers. They will start with the jupyter notebooks (in python) from "A First Course in Network Science" by Menczer, Fortunato, and Davis at Indiana University
