Cutting Edge #4

ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE The edge between cutting edge AI academic research and its application to real-world problems gets more and more blurry. Once there is a great idea published as a research paper it often needs just few weeks to be adopted by the startups around the world. Mykola Maksymenko will tell a story about recent advances in Machine Learning and particularly Deep Learning and how very recent academic studies find its way to the market almost immediately. As we work in the same spirit in R&D, he will mention several examples of how we find, create and utilise the most recent ideas in our own projects. This will concern automatic image captioning, neural style transfer, biosignal processing, AI in mobile systems, etc. Schedule 9:45 am - 10:00 am Registration 10:00 am - 10:10 am Event opening, intro to speakers and talks 10:10 am - 11:00 am Connecting the dots: from cutting edge research to real world applications by Mykola Maksymenko 11:00 am - 11:15 am Coffee & cookies 11:15 am - 12:00 pm Hands-on session on building your own style transfer program by Mykola Maksymenko Mykola Maksymenko Research Lead, also known as musician and author of the soundtrack for SoftServe Chasm.
