60 minute session
Predicting demonic possession using AzureML
This session, specially created for SQL Saturday edition 666, shows in a light-hearted and humorous way how we can use Azure Machine Learning to predict whether someone is possessed by a demon.
Behind the peculiar use case lies a serious introduction to machine learning, and the techniques demonstrated during the session are genuinely usable in the real world (also for classification purposes other than predicting demonic possession 😉).
A session you won’t soon forget, and the one that originally led to the Crazy Data Science sessions, which explain complex data science techniques in an accessible and humorous way and then apply them to completely useless examples.
