OxTalks will soon move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events.' There will be a need for an OxTalks freeze. This was previously planned for Friday 14th November – a new date will be shared as soon as it is available (full details will be available on the Staff Gateway).
In the meantime, the OxTalks site will remain active and events will continue to be published.
If staff have any questions about the Oxford Events launch, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
Abstract:
Highlights:
*We increasingly live in a digital world and commercial companies are not the only beneficiaries. The public sector can also use data to tackle pressing issues. *Machine learning is starting to make an impact on the tools regulators use, for spotting the bad guys, for estimating demand, and for tackling many other problems. *The speech uses an array of examples to argue that much regulation is ultimately about recognising patterns in data. Machine learning helps us find those patterns.
Just as moving from paper maps to smartphone apps can make us better navigators, Stefan’s speech explains how the move from using traditional analysis to using machine learning can make us better regulators.
