SWE Boston Professional Development Meeting
“Data Analytics: Turning Big Data into Breakthroughs”
with Mary Ann Freeman
Sponsored by MathWorks
Data analytics is impacting many, if not most, industries and is essentially transforming what is capable in these industries. In this talk, Mary Ann Freeman will cover the drivers behind the big data and data analytics trends, such as machine learning and deep learning, how MATLAB is enabling engineers and scientists to apply this transformational technology to their data, and her role in the Data Analytics Program at MathWorks.
