| Oracle ACE Webinar |
| The Changing Role of the DBA: From Database Developer to Data Scientist in 6 Weeks! |
Thursday, March 5, 2020 / 8:00 PST
Presenter: Charlie Berger, Sr. Director Product Management, Machine Learning, AI and Cognitive Analytics
Oracle Machine Learning, included free in the Oracle Database EE, SE2 and Autonomous Database, “moves the algorithms; not the data” for 100% in-database processing. Oracle makes building and deploying ML models straightforward. Oracle data professionals commonly perform supporting tasks for “data scientists,” typically 80% of the work.
In this webinar, Charlie Berger will share a logical, evolutionary path for Oracle data professionals to leverage their domain knowledge, valuable data skills, and add machine learning. Like Penn and Teller’s reveal of how magic tricks work, Charlie will show how easy it is for Oracle data professionals to leverage their SQL skills and data knowledge to build and deploy predictive models throughout the enterprise. Using many examples, demos, and sharing his extensive experience, Charlie will show you how to extract insights, make predictions, and become an “Oracle Data Scientist” in just 6 weeks!
Full Meeting Details were sent to all ACEs on January 21st.

| Analytics and Data TechCasts CFP |
| Presented every 2 weeks on Thursdays at 12 pm EST, these Analytics and Data TechCasts are open to all Oracle technical experts to submit an abstract and share their knowledge. The objective of the Analytics and Data TechCast Series is the sharing of useful, practical, applied Oracle technical expertise for the benefit of all; no sales pitches. We all use Oracle technologies, but can all grow by learning new features, tips and tricks, best practices, new and novel and interesting use cases. The TechCasts are recorded for on-demand and YouTube viewing. |
