Current sessions
Building accessible experiences with AI
AI can be a game changer for people with disabilities. Already we’re witnessing this as people with disabilities expand their use of computers to hear, see and reason with impressive accuracy.
At Microsoft we’ve been putting to work stronger solutions such as real-time speech-to-text transcription, visual recognition services and predictive text functionality. AI advances like these offer enormous potential by enabling people with vision, hearing, cognitive, learning, mobility disabilities and mental health conditions do more in three specific scenarios: employment, modern life and human connection.
In this session we dive into the tools and services that are available for you to create solutions that are more accessible and inclusive.
The session will be packed with demos, use cases and lot's of tips and tricks.
Join this session and learn how you can help building the future of disability inclusion and accessibility.
From data to AI on the edge
The cloud is for many scenarios the way to process data and apply business logic. But processing data in the cloud is not always the way to go, because of connectivity, legal issues or because you need to respond in near-real time.
In this session we dive into how Azure Machine learning and Azure IoT Edge can help in this scenario.
Using Azure Machine Learning service, a cloud service to track as you build, train, deploy, and manage models, we train a custom model.
When the model is ready we use Azure IoT Edge to deploy the model to an Edge device and find out how it can operate by itself.
At the end of the session you have learned how to train a model using Azure Machine Learning and use IoT Edge to deploy this model to an IoT Edge device.
The age of applied AI
After a tremendous age of innovation and research in the AI field, we are moving towards the age of appliance. But how and where do you get started as a developer and how do you apply machine learning ethically and use it for good.
In this talk we dive into the current state of everyday AI, debate the challenges that come with responsible AI and you will get some tips and tricks how you can advantage of AI as a developer.
DevOps and Machine Learning
With machine learning becoming more and more an engineering problem the need to track, work together and easily deploy ML experiments with integrated CI/CD tooling is becoming more relevant than ever.
In this session we take a deep-dive into the DevOps process that comes with Azure Machine Learning service, a cloud service that you can use to track as you build, train, deploy and manage models. We zoom into how the data science process can be made traceable and deploy the model with Azure DevOps to a Kubernetes cluster.
At the end of this session you have a good grasp of the technological building blocks of Azure machine learning services and can bring a machine learning project safely into production.
A.I. on the Microsoft Stack
The need to jump on the AI track is more relevant than ever. With the commodity of hardware and the computing power of the Azure Cloud, Artificial Intelligence is at our fingertips and waiting to be implemented in new innovative solutions.
In this session we do a deep dive into the A.I. stack that Microsoft has to offer. We start with pre-trained Cognitive services like Computer Vision, Anomaly Detection and Speaker recognition. And move on to the more advanced tooling like Machine Learning Studio and Azure Machine Learning Services.
At the end of this session you have a good grasp of the technological building blocks that make AI happen. Just waiting to be used in your own projects afterwards.
The AI revolution is coming and you can be part of it!
Getting started with Azure Machine Learning services
With machine learning becoming more and more an engineering problem the need to track, work together and easily deploy ML experiments with integrated CI/CD tooling is becoming more relevant then ever.
In this session we take a deep-dive into Azure Machine Learning service, a cloud service that you can use to track as you build, train, deploy, and manage models. We zoom into the building blocks provided and show, through some demos, how to use them.
At the end of this session you have a good grasp of the technological building blocks of Azure machine learning services. Just waiting to be used in your own projects afterwards.
Build and deploy PyTorch models with Azure Machine Learning
With machine learning becoming more and more an engineering problem the need to track, work together and easily deploy ML experiments with integrated CI/CD tooling is becoming more relevant then ever.
In this session we take a deep-dive into Azure Machine Learning, a cloud service that you can use to track as you build, train, deploy, and manage models. We use the Azure Machine Learning Python SDK to manage the complete life cycle of a PyTorch model, from managing the data, to train the model and finally run it into a production Kubernetes cluster.
At the end of this session you have a good grasp of the technological building blocks of Azure machine learning services and train a PyTorch model on scale.
