Join this session to embark on a comprehensive exploration of the fundamental concepts of data classification and regression. The presentation begins with an introduction to these two core techniques of predictive analytics, providing a clear understanding of their theoretical underpinnings and practical applications.

We then delve into the critical decision-making process of choosing between classification and regression for a given problem. This section illuminates the key factors that influence this choice, such as the nature of the target variable and the specific requirements of the analysis.

Next, we turn our attention to the crucial stage of data preprocessing. Here, we discuss various strategies and best practices for handling missing data, dealing with outliers, and transforming variables, ensuring that the data is in the optimal format for model training.

The presentation also introduces MLflow, a powerful open-source platform for managing the machine learning lifecycle. We demonstrate how to leverage MLflow to track model performance, maintain a record of experiments, and manage model deployment.

The presentation concludes with a hands-on demonstration of model training using popular machine learning libraries, providing attendees with the practical skills needed to embark on their own data science journey. This presentation serves as a comprehensive introduction to the art and science of model training, making it an invaluable resource for beginners in the field.

Breaking Free from Legacy EDI Systems:
Lessons from Hirschbach's Migration


Legacy EDI systems can slow growth, strain resources, and leave teams with limited visibility into critical processes.

In this webinar, Ivan Ramirez, CEO at Hirschbach, shares how his team reduced onboarding times from 12 weeks to just 2-3 weeks by transitioning from a legacy system to Orderful's modern EDI platform.

Learn how Hirschbach gained full control over their EDI operations, cut down errors with real-time validation, and scaled their capabilities without increasing internal resource demands.
