Breaking the Machine Learning Hype Cycle – August 3, 2016, 10:20am-11:10am PST – Mike Stute, Chief Scientist, will explore machine learning in cyber security. Machine learning is everywhere.

Attendees will learn:

  • The history of machine learning and where the technology is projected to go
  • What machine learning can do and what it can’t do in general terms
  • How to spot when the buzz around machine learning is something new or just an old idea with a new name
