These are the materials for our Kernel Machine learning workshop at the Red Rock Data Science Student Conference at Southern Utah University in 5/2024. Hopefully they are helpful!
- Lots of diverse material and new concepts will be covered in this course
- Machine Learning is NOT a spectator sport! You need to practice the skills you learn over and over again!
- Communication: if you have questions or concerns, please email me: w.evan.johnson@rutgers.edu
- GitHub materials for the course:
- All materials for this course will be posted on the course GitHub page: https://github.com/wevanjohnson/2024_05_RRDS_ML_Workshop/edit/main/README.md
- You obviously have this since you are here!
