Machine learning provides techniques that allow us to "reverse engineer" both natural and artificial phenomena in order to uncover their underlying processes. Given the ubiquity of black-box algorithmic control in society, the latter type of phenomena is probably more deserving of reverse engineering.
In this workshop, the fundamental mindset and basic techniques of machine learning will be introduced through a narrative of a totally surveilled and quantified society based on the show Psycho-Pass and anxieties around programs like Sesame Credit.
You'll learn how to think about the world in the "machine learning" way - from an intuitive mathematical perspective - and use popular Python programs to apply this new thinking to just about anything.
