Also discussed about the classification concepts with an example of random forest algorithm and healthcare applications. Later she addressed how the machine learning algorithms utilized in cyber security with an example of malware detection.
Further she has explained about how to develop a project with an example of malware executable detection data set. Her speech has given insight into real-time scenario of various cyber security issues and software vulnerabilities. At the end of the session, the queries were posted such as unemployablity issues due to automation, possibility of open source software for implementing ML algorithms etc. Around 168 students benefited through this online webinar.
