Free Workshop:
Artificial Intelligence for Research, Analytics, and Reasoning
A Free 2-Hour Workshop on Applied Research with Bayesian Networks and BayesiaLab: October 5, 2015, 2:00 pm to 4:00 pm at Booz Allen Hamilton's headquarters in McLean, Virginia
In fields ranging from bioinformatics to marketing science, Bayesian networks have revolutionized the way scientists explore high-dimensional problem domains. And, since the first release of the BayesiaLab software package in 2001, practitioners have been able to leverage this powerful paradigm for their research without having to write a single line of code.
Learn what the Bayesian networks revolution is all about and join Stefan Conrady for a complimentary workshop on knowledge discovery and reasoning with Bayesian networks and BayesiaLab. In this presentation, he will first lay out the basics of the Bayesian network formalism and then illustrate several applications in a live software demo.
