Our technology has gotten smart and fast enough to make predictions and come up with recommendations in near real time. Machine Learning is the art of deriving models from our Big Data collections o harvesting historic patterns and trends o and applying those models to new data in order to rapidly and adequately respond to that data. This presentation will explain and demonstrate in simple, straightforward terms and using easy to understand practical examples what Machine Learning really is and how it can be useful in our world of applications, integrations and databases. Hadoop and Spark, real time and streaming analytics, Watson and Cloud Datalab, Jupyter Notebooks and Citizen Data Scientists will all make their appearance, as will SQL.
