That’s why data scientists always respond to the “How much data do you need?” question with “How m uch data can you get?” \;\n \;\nBut sometimes you don’t have much data\, because: a) It’s genuinely hard to get\; or b) You haven’t been g athering it for very long and it takes time. This is a much more common circumstance than you might think. And you are not alone if you're exper iencing this issue. Luckily\, and not surprisingly\, the machine learnin g community has come up with numerous approaches for dealing with it. Co me sit in on an exclusive conversation with Dr. Tim Oates\, professor an d practitioner\, who will share what appeals to intuition as to why the methods work and provide concrete examples of their application to simpl e problems. \;\n \;\nWe will discuss transfer learning\, open sour ce datasets and synthetic data\, few shot learning\, active learning\, a nd semi-supervised learning.
