DevConf.US 2020

The past decade or so has seen such rapid advances in supervised deep learning and neural networks that those areas, and machine learning more generally, have become almost synonymous with AI especially in popular media. However, there are other broad areas of research that have fed into AI historically and continue to be important today.

In this talk, Red Hat’s Gordon Haff will place machine learning within this set of broader science and engineering specialties that include cognitive psychology, control theory, linguistics, and human factors. The goal is to provide attendees with a broader context for both learning and applying cross-disciplinary fields of study to their AI-related work.
