This session qualifies for 1 CPD/CPLD/CPE Hour credit. You work with data, but when your datasets get complex, standard tools start to fall short. This session is your practical introduction to machine learning, designed specifically for data practitioners who want to level up without a math or coding background. Kosar Lotfali-Khani will guide you through the "why" behind dimensionality reduction, walk you through unsupervised and supervised ML models, and connect it all to real-world analytical workflows. You will walk away with knowing when and why to use ML and the confidence to start applying it: 1. Learn what multi-dimensionality and why this is useful to you 2. Dive into Supervised and Unsupervised machine learning: PCA vs. OPLS 3. See how to apply what you've learned RIGHT AWAY! If you're looking to level up your data skills, this is the micro-learning session for you! Thanks to Platform Innovation Centre, the Official Venue Sponsor.
