Man-AI Symbiosis; The need for Interdependence.
In this session I will be talking about how Man and AI have collaborated over the years, we will looking into the nature of the relationship and where Man comes in and where AI takes over.
This session doesn't aim at correcting any notion because their are no rights or wrongs when it comes to a developing concept such as AI but it aims at shedding light to a rather more intuitive perspective on AI and it's development; Man-AI Symbiosis, The Holy grail of AI research.
Let's Talk Features Engineering
Features Engineering is a very interesting concept in the Machine Learning Space. It can be overwhelming for beginners but it can be well understood with a guide.
Here I will talk about the concept of Features Engineering and when and how to apply the various techniques.
We will talk about concepts like Features types (Categorical or Numerical) ; what they mean to the Data Scientist VS Machine.
We will talk about different encoding technique which is appropriate in different scenarios.
Data Science and AI in Africa: The Effect of Community Impact
In recent times, Data Science and AI is growing drastically within African Communities and this is an effect of the continuous impact by different communities.
In this session we will explore how the study of Data Science, Machine Learning and AI has grown over the years and how different communities has made efforts to improve the State of Data Science and AI.
I will be making reference to certain communities who are championing the move, which includes Data Scientist Network (DSN), The Data Community Africa ( Hosts of DataFest Africa 2022) and The Microsoft Learn Student Ambassadorship Program.
Of course this claim of growth cannot be justified by Assumptions or Perception. I'll be using Data Extracts for the Kaggle Survey 2018 to 2022 to show how Data Scientist from Africa have grown
