Video description
The O’Reilly Artificial Intelligence Conference San Jose 2019 was some of the world’s top AI practitioners sharing their AI passion and AI knowledge with thousands of attendees. It was Uber AI Lab’s Kenneth Stanley illuminating the future of AI with his talk about open-endedness learning. It was Danny Lange (Unity Technologies) on game environments that test the capabilities of AI-trained agents; Yi Zhang (University of California, Santa Cruz) on chatbots and the nearness of true conversational computing; and Hagay Lupesko (Facebook) on the challenges of mega-scale, deep learning-based personalization modeling. In short, AI San Jose 2019 was a mind-blower and this video compilation gives you access to virtually all of it with hours of material to peruse, study, and absorb on your own schedule.
Highlights include:
- Complete video recordings of the best of AI San Jose 2019’s keynote addresses, deep dive tutorials, and technical sessions.
- Keynote addresses from AI thought leaders such as Andrew Feldman (Cerebras Systems), Sahika Genc (AWS DeepRacer/SageMaker RL), and Mike Jordan (UC Berkeley).
- Unrestricted access to the exclusive AI Business Summit’s executive briefings, best practice sessions, and tutorials led by AI business pros such as Michael Radwin (Intuit), Bahman Bahmani (Rakuten), Mayukh Bhaowal (Salesforce Einstein), Yael Gozin (Pfizer), and James Manyika (McKinsey & Company).
- Deep dive tutorials, including Jason Dai (Intel) on building deep learning apps for big data with the Analytics Zoo AI platform; Chaoran Yu (Lightbend) on doing machine learning (ML) with Kafka-based streaming pipelines; and Justina Petraityte (Rasa) on developing intelligent AI assistants based entirely on ML with open source Rasa NLU and Rasa Core.
- Sessions devoted to AI Implementation, such as Anuradha Gali (Uber) on using AI to leverage 15 million trips a day on the Uber platform; Roshan Sumbaly (Facebook) on connecting the dots between the software engineering and ML development worlds; Paige Bailey’s (Google) on TensorFlow 2.0's new features; and Alex Ratner (Snorkel) on building and managing training datasets for ML with open source Snorkel.
- Sessions focused on AI Models & Methods, including Lukas Biewald (Weights & Biases) review of how to use Keras to classify text with LSTMs and other ML techniques; and Francesca Lazzeri (Microsoft) on using AutoML to automate ML model selection and hyperparameter tuning.
- Dozens of how-to-do-it sessions detailing the technologies, personnel, and processes required to move AI from a science project to a real business application.
