Classification - A Machine Learning Foundation

One Day workshop on Classification – A Machine Learning Foundation part of #doppa17

Classification is one of the most widely used techniques in machine learning, with a broad array of applications, including sentiment analysis, ad targeting, spam detection, risk assessment, medical diagnosis and image classification. The core goal of classification is to predict a category or class y from some inputs x.

Through this workshop, you will become familiar with the fundamental classification models and algorithms.

This is being taught by one of the most renowned Professor Dr Vivek Vijay from IIT Jodhpur whose specialization is Machine Learning and Data Science.

In this workshop, we will discuss some of the famous generative and discriminative learning algorithms which are a foundation building blocks for any Machine Learning program.

Do not miss to learn the following classification methods used in Machine learning from an expert in this area – Dr Vivek Vijay

Logistic Regression
Bayesian Classifier
Naïve Bayes Classifier
K – Nearest Neighbor
Decision Tree Learning
Artificial Neural Network

Continuous Builds

CP-DCB stands for  “Certified Professional – DevOps Continuous Builds” certification prepared and honored by “Agile Testing Alliance”.

The course focuses strongly on development skills and the creation of infrastructure for continuous building of software artifacts. Both JVM and native environments are used on the course as part of exercises in the course, but expertise is not required in either. The aim of the course is to equip the attendee with the knowledge of how to set up continuous build environments for a wide range of development scenarios, rather than teaching them to be experts in development on those platforms.

Pre-requisites:
Anyone having more than 1 year of development or testing experience is eligible for CP-DCB. Alternatively if you have already done CP-DOF then you automatically qualify for this course.

Training Objectives:
Setup CI environments for JVM projects.
Setup CI environments for native projects.
Avoid manual installation of tools on CI servers.
Automate instantiation of virtual images.
Automate instantiation of containers.
Automate publication of artifacts to repositories.
Have CI create test and quality reports with baseline triggers.
Track stability and quality metrics.

This hands-on training covers the continuous build concepts using tools such as Git, Jenkins, Gradle, Docker, Artifactory, Conan and Packer

Lean Kanban Workshop by Masa

2 Days Lean Kanban Workshop

Kanban is a Lean-Agile method focused on improving flow and quality on your organization and project needs very rapidly (therefore improving its economy).

It allows your team to operate at a very high level of efficiency and effectiveness through an evolutionary approach that consists of 6 practices to manage change in the organization.

Lean Kanban has proven to accelerate maturity through high visualization, control over the amount of work being done, acknowledgement and effective handling of the diversity of activities in your project, and root cause analysis through quantitative management.

This workshop is very hands-on. Even the theoretical foundation is learned through practical exercises.

Objectives:
Know the structure and modus operandi of the Lean Kanban system
Map the current process onto a value stream map and a Kanban system
Understand the Kanban practices and principles
Learn some aspects of Lean Thinking useful to practice Kanban
Know the benefits of continuous flow, adaptability, and focus on quality
Know how to quantify and analyze value flow to identify opportunities for improvement
