We are delighted to announce that the EEA has established collaboration with TechnoSocio Advisory (Dr. Emily Springer), a firm that offers consulting services at the intersection of machine learning, social inclusion, and international development. We invite you to join us for a half day seminar on “Machine Learning Basics: Challenges ahead to use machine learning for developmental aims” that will take place on December 05, 2023 at EEA conference hall. The seminar will explore the fundamental building blocks of machine learning, how algorithms are trained, and identify core problems with using machine learning in developmental contexts.

Are you new to artificial intelligence? Are you a social scientist that is predominantly qualitative? Then this seminar is for you! This is an introductory seminar that will kick start your journey into artificial intelligence and social inclusion. This is a hands-on participatory lecture—participants should come ready to engage.

This seminar assumes no prior knowledge of machine learning and is focused on conceptual understandings of algorithms, not technical. Since we have limited space, we will give a chance on first come and first serve basis.
