HOTH 2018 ML Workshop

This is a beginner-friendly workshop on using logistic regression to classify images of dogs and cats. This workshop is based off of the Neural Networks and Deep Learning course on Coursera, taught by Andrew Ng. We highly recommend taking this course if you want to learn more about machine learning.
