@Phyian_karinge @Miss_Moreena @MicrosoftADC Thank you @Phyian_karinge

@Miss_Moreena @MicrosoftADC @KenyaWids Not to worry, next one. You can follow @KenyaWids to get updates, and be on the lookout for the same on my page.

Was honoured to speak at @MicrosoftADC for the @KenyaWids IWD event. I learnt and shared on Data Sparsity Did you know that companies like Amazon, a company with millions of data, also experience data sparsity? Data sparsity also entails data that does not entirely bring value

@Miss_Moreena Hey! Thank you for expressing interest. We have conferences annually around IWD. Stay tuned for updates.

@Phyian_karinge @MicrosoftADC @KenyaWids Shucks, missed that. When is the next one?

It was an honor to have you share with us! Thank you.

Super glad to be part of this initiative.
