Welcome to The Boston Network Users Group
The longest-running computer network group in Massachusetts — founded in 1986
Our next meeting is May 6th 7pm – 8:30 pm on Zoom– please join us!
This month, we’ll continue our exploration of AI, by discussing machine learning and computer translation.
We’ll begin by discussing the history of machine learning and computer translation, and then go on to talk about what is happening now. You might find it good preparation for the meeting to look at

This is Adam’s colleague Michael Littman teaching us about this growing field. That link lets you buy the course, but a lot of the material is available for free at

Michael walks you through how to create a free Google Colab account and do amazing Python programming on Google’s heavy iron.
We’ll then look at Google Translate, with its origins, strengths and weaknesses.
Please bring your own stories and questions about machine learning. If we have time, we may also discuss the larger questions of online learning and teaching. Is learning online a good idea? What works and what doesn’t? How do we blend online and in-person learning in a way that promotes development?
