NACME Google Applied Machine Learning Intensive (AMLI) Summer Boot CAMP
The goal of the NACME-Google AMLI Summer Bootcamp is to provide students with an introduction
to computer science content to be qualified for positions as entry-level Machine Learning
Specialists. Specifically, to prepare talent to understand how to apply statistics
and machine learning to solve real-world data science problems. The bootcamp aims
to expose URM students to advanced concepts in artificial intelligence/machine learning
using Google Education’s open-sourced curriculum. The AMLI curriculum will enable
NACME partner institutions to give students the foundation they need to work with
large datasets and solve real-world problems.
