In this 3-hour intensive workshop, you will learn the basic of machine learning in R. This would be a taster session to walk through some of the basics of regression and classification and how to create models in R.
The materials of this class would be based loosely on the classes done in 2017 . Although we would not spend too much time on the basics, the workshop would be self-contained and R beginners are welcome. R beginners would receive an instruction how to setup the R environment and some materials to get you started in advance of the workshop.
In this session, Chris Choy (10+ years using R) would be teaching the workshop. He is a data scientist with experience in developing data mining solutions for clients in manufacturing, banking and retail industry. Prior to joining the business world in 2014, he earned his Dphil in Oxford with a research focus in high dimensional statistics.

在這 3 小時緊湊工作坊，你會學習到以 R 語言進行基本機器學習。這是一場體驗工作坊介紹一些基本 regression 和 classification ，以及如何以 R 語言建立模型。
這堂的教學材料是基於 2017 年課堂。雖然我們不會花太多時間在相關基本知識，但課堂會以自學進行，歡迎 R 語言新手參加。R 語言新手可以根據指示來建立 R 語言環境，以便課堂前開始準備。
這堂工作坊會由 Chris Choy 教授，Chris 擁有超過十年 R 語言使用經驗。Chris 是一名數據科學家 (data scientist)，曾為製造業、銀行業、零售業客戶開發數據開採方案 (data mining solutions)。在加入商業公司前，Chris 在英國牛津獲得博士學位，主要研究高維統計 (high dimensional statistics).
