The Hellenic American Lifelong Learning Center in cooperation with Ismion Inc. offers a new series of courses and workshops on data science and machine learning, two specializations of computer science that have gained great popularity over the last few years. Data science includes Big Data, the hottest trend in the tech industry now and machine learning is ubiquitous: underlies stock trading bots, Google’s search results and recommendations, autonomous cars, digital assistants like Cortana and Siri and Amazon’s cashier-free stores. It is also used successfully in CRM for automated customer segmentation and for generating effective acquisition and retention campaigns.
