Event overview
A practical, hands-on prototyping workshop which gets under the hood of machine learning.
10am - 5pm Thursday 5 May 2016
RHB 306, Richard Hoggart Building, Goldsmiths, University of London
A CAST workshop.
Machine Learning is emerging as a powerful social actor. It is core to new systems of governance across finance, security and policy. At the same time it offers new methods for the critical exploration of social issues and, under the guise of Big Data, is one of the hottest topics in the study of society, media and culture.
This workshop is an opportunity to get under the hood of machine learning; to demystify it as a practical method via hands on prototyping while at the same time surfacing the critical questions that should accompany its application.
It brings together computing practitioners with sociologists, media scholars, cultural theorists and others, with the intention of prototyping practical projects for future funding applications.
Your participation is invited, but places are limited.
