We're excited to announce that at our August 14 meeting, GDG Madison member Joe Putila will teach us about TensorFlow.  Doors open at 5:30; the presentation starts at 6:00.

The presentation will focus on understanding how TensorFlow can be used to build neural networks.  We will cover some theory, some practical considerations, and walk through an example of a classification task.  Additionally, Joe will share how UW Health is using TensorFlow to answer difficult questions in the evolving world of healthcare.
