Our May meetup gets us up to speed with all things AI and ML! AGENDA: 18:00 - 18:15 - Welcome to GDG! 18:15 - 18:30 - Building models from structured data with AutoML Tables - PJ Welcome Companies have been collecting data about products, users and their organization for many years. This data could be valuable in showing where a product or company is going in the next few years. It may be easy to pick up trends in existing data for a specific user, but predicting new user behaviour is difficult. This is where AutoML Tables can be of use. AutoML Tables is a supervised machine learning service that helps us train models with structured data. This product can be used to make new data predictions based on previous data. In this talk, we will go through what AutoML Tables is, how it works, what kind of problems it can help you solve and how we can start training models today, to integrate into our applications. Bio 18:30- 18:45 From Research Paper to Production - Leveraging Open Source Frameworks to Accelerate Applied Deep Learning for Enterprise - Mabu Manaileng In this presentation, we explore some of the latest deep learning frameworks and how open research is offering industry-grade deep learning architectures that can go straight from the research paper and Github repository to your production environment.
