QCon.ai Unveils Conference Session Tracks At Its San Francisco Applied AI Conference For Software Developers
SAN FRANCISCO, CA (PRWEB) November 10, 2017 -- Today, QCon.ai, a brand new AI and machine learning software development conference from the team behind QCon and InfoQ.com which is taking place in San Francisco, April 9-11, 2018, announced their conference tracks. The tracks have been developed by a committee of practitioners who create a vision for the conference tracks, shape the agenda, and identify speakers that can share their insights and knowledge to help software engineers apply AI and machine learning in their roles. The tracks announced today are:
- Predictive Data Pipelines & Architectures: Best practices for building real-world data pipelines doing interesting things like predictions, recommender systems, fraud prevention, ranking systems, and more
- Real-world Data Engineering: Showcasing DataEng tech and highlighting the strengths of each in real-world applications
- ML in Action: Security & Risk: Applied Machine Learning track demonstrating how to train, score, and handle security and fraud use cases.
- Deep Learning Applications & Practices: Deep learning lessons using Tensorflow, Keras, PyTorch, Caffe across machine translation, computer vision
- Handling Sequential Data Like an Expert (Half-Day): Discussing the complexities of time, including hyper loglog, count min sketch, and more
- ML Applied to Operations (Half-Day): Machine Learning in the data center. Exploring topics like Dynamic rebalancing in Dataflow, Predictive auto-scaling, and fault prediction.
- AI Meets the Physical World: AI use cases from drones to self-driving cars. The track where AI touches the physical world.
Conference Chair, software engineer and principal tech advisor, Wes Reisz, said: “I’m excited about this conference. AI and machine learning are changing and shaping the future of software. Traditionally, AI/ML has been the field for research and PhD level data scientists. But as tooling and libraries are becoming more available and approachable, that’s changing. More and more software engineers are applying AI/ML into their daily work. QCon.ai is the conference to help them understand when it makes sense to apply AI/ML.” Reisz continued: “The tracks have all been developed from the point of view of a software engineer, rather than a data scientist. By focusing on practitioners in our conferences, we aim to accelerate the software side of human technological progress to support innovation and early adoption of new software, technologies and practices.”
QCon.ai is a two day deep dive AI, machine learning and data engineering conference designed specifically for software engineers, architects, and technical managers. The conference and optional day of workshops are for technical engineers who want to uncover the real-world uses cases for applying artificial intelligence and machine learning in engineering but who may not come from a data science background.
Charles Humble, Editor in Chief, InfoQ.com said: “AI and machine learning are key emerging trends that have broad applicability in a whole range of industries. QCon.ai will be a practical, real-world event for software engineers, architects and technical managers who want to learn about the successes and use-cases for AI.”
