CERN Alumni Weekly News |Moving Out of Academia to Machine Learning on 26th of April, Next-Generation Triggers project, News from the Lab | CERN Venture Connect
In today's tech landscape, where machine learning and data science are ubiquitous buzzwords, it's no surprise that the CERN Alumni community is intrigued as well. To delve deeper into these fascinating subjects, we're thrilled to offer two valuable resources:
- Firstly, our upcoming Moving Out of Academia event promises enlightening insights from several experienced CERN alumni. Among the speakers Keith Edmonds, Principal Data Scientist at McKinsey, specialising in data-driven growth strategies, GenAI, and advanced machine learning and Martin Flechl, Head of Generative AI Research at Dynatrace, overseeing the research and implementation of adding LLM power to their software product. Join us for an engaging exploration of the Machine Learning sector: https://alumni.cern/events/139134
- Secondly, for those eager to explore the Data Science sector further, we encourage you to revisit a highly acclaimed session from Third Collisions. In this session, we delved into the transformative impact of Data Science across various sectors: https://cds.cern.ch/record/2889338
