Collaborative Classroom Series - Predicting House Prices Using Machine Learning
Collaborative Classroom Series - Predicting House Prices Using Machine Learning

Machine learning models are masters of pattern-based learning - go find the data that you think matters and let the computer tell you if you can predict the answer! Imagine we are trying to predict house prices in Connecticut. We would want to show the computer a bunch of detailed data (number of bedrooms, age of house, school district quality), along with the thing you are trying to predict (the house price), and let the computer learn the patterns for how to relate the input data to the output. Once the model is trained, you can apply it widely across Connecticut and predict how much a house would sell for before it does. In this workshop, we will show you how to use Python to download datasets, make beautiful visualizations, fit a machine learning model, and show which variables were the most important for making an accurate prediction.
Join us for a collaborative virtual class and discussion with Dr. Dave Wanik, Assistant Professor-in-Residence in the Department of Operations and Information Management. No coding experience or special software required – just sit back, listen and enjoy the material! All students will be provided with the code notebook prior to the workshop.

Collaborative Classroom Series - The Pandemic Origins of Risk Management
Collaborative Classroom Series - The Pandemic Origins of Risk Management
Monday, April 26th, 2021
06:00 PM - 07:00 PM
Other Online
People routinely engage in decisions, from the mundane to the life-changing, such as: Should I buy apples at the grocery store? Where should I go to college? Whether they know it or not, how they arrive at their decisions is rooted in the principles of risk management, which have been evolved throughout history. Risk management is humanity's way of combining objective and subjective information in an attempt to make predictions about the future. Sometimes it works in our favor, and sometimes it does not. One of the earliest advances in risk management came during an outbreak of a deadly disease, and much like the pandemic in our own time, continued to both challenge people and advance our understanding of risk and uncertainty.
Join us for a collaborative virtual class and conversation with Prof. Trevor Tomko, Professor in the Department of Operation and Information Management. Attendees will have the opportunity to discuss real-life scenarios as we work through the origins and evolution of risk management.
