KXEN DATA MINING WORKSHOPS focus on a powerful, predictive, and
descriptive data modeling technology that can benefit both data mining
professionals and business decision makers � Vapnik�s
Statistical Learning Theory including the Support Vector Machine (SVM).
YOU WILL LEARN:
- How this powerful technology can instantly transform your data into knowledge
- The Vapnik theory and how it can be applied to modeling techniques such as
classification and regression
- How you can build and interpret robust descriptive and predictive models in a
fraction of the time it takes with traditional methods
YOU WILL TAKE HOME:
- Come with your own data set; create models in seconds or minutes on your laptop and leave with free evaluation software to use at your office
- Educational material
- KXEN software documentation and related materials upon signing an evaluation agreement
All meetings are 9.30 am to 4 pm.
