This workshop intends to help you get your feet wet with machine learning on a public health related problem. By no means will this workshop make you a machine learning expert -- you'll definitely walk out here with deep holes in your knowledge of machine learning. However, the hope is that you get enough bits of information that you can fill in the gaps as you continue to learn in the future.
Machine learning is a powerful tool, and public health is a sector rich with data and problems to apply machine learning to. Maybe you can take what you learn here as a starting point to making waves in the world of public health.
We recommend one of two ways to setup. If you are on OS X / Linux and have
virtualenv pre-installed, you can run locally by running the setup script
in this directory. Then you can use the start_jupyterlab script to start
a Jupyterlab server to work with.
Otherwise, we recommend using Binder.
