March 8, 2022 Meeting
The next meeting of the ISA Birmingham Section will take place at 11:30 AM, on Tuesday, March 8, 2022, and it will be an online Zoom Session. The need is still evident for the section to conduct virtual meetings for the present time, and the hope is to resume face to face meetings later this year.
Our speakers for this meeting, will be:
Tom Donnelly - Systems Engineer for JMP Statistical Discovery
Brian Washington - Account Manager for JMP Statistical Discovery
Presentation: “Quickly Comparing Machine Learning Methods”
Abstract:
Through everyday case studies, you'll see how to build better predicting and more robust models with a range of machine learning techniques. The approaches shown will help answer questions like:
- With so many machine learning methods, how can I find the best candidate approaches quickly?
- How can I prevent overfitting and better trust my models - for both large and small data sets?
- How can I find the dominant factors quickly, especially when there are hundreds of factors?
- How can I find the best predicting model?
- How can I find a potentially more interpretable model with confidence intervals?
- How can I compare multiple machine learning methods?
- How can I do multiple model trade-space analysis or optimization?
- How can I guard against extrapolation in high dimensional factor space?
- How can I use a sensor stream of highly correlated data to make better predictions?
Featured methods will include different types of regression, neural networks, decision trees, ensemble modeling, and functional data analysis. You will also see how to use graphical and statistical comparison techniques to help choose the “best” predictive model. This presentation is for engineers and researchers interested in learning how machine learning techniques can help them use the data they have today to better predict tomorrow.
