Description

Are you curious about the potential of machine learning (ML) but have no prior experience? This workshop is perfect for you!

Machine learning is part of the domain of artificial intelligence (AI) and currently very much the popular aunt/uncle in the AI family. Machine learning is the collective name for algorithms that learn from experience, just like humans do. Instead of giving it detailed instructions for every task, you provide the algorithm with data and let it figure out patterns and make decisions based on that data.

Join us for a hands-on, beginner-friendly session where you’ll get a practical overview of how machine learning techniques can be applied to mental health.

What to Expect:

  1. Interactive Learning: Engage in active participation and discussions.
  2. Comprehensive Overview: Understand the basics of machine learning and its applications in health.
  3. In-Depth Case Study: Build your own ML model and see how it supports decision-making in complex clinical scenarios.

Why Attend?

  • No Prior Knowledge Required: This workshop is designed for beginners.
  • Practical Insights: Learn how ML can transform mental health research and practice.
  • Hands-On Experience: All software and data will be provided. Just bring your own laptop!

Don’t miss this opportunity to dive into the world of machine learning and discover its potential in mental health. We look forward to seeing you there!
