Session

Building AI systems that can change the world

Talk is about building new UX over AI modules targeting seamless, non-intrusive, touchless and accessiblity oriented system with various twists, hackatons, awards and variants of app that happened as a consequence of current pandemic.
One could say - instead of a very "boring" year, this turned out to be one really filled with events and accomplishments - and it's still going.

Presentation is conceptually built in stages, more like layers of opening up the story and adding sugar on top as we go till the end.
1) Intro
- where presenter(s) come from
(set the stage, a short "mandatory" mention of Atos, firm where this happens with a few sentences)
- how this all came to be?
- work with students, mentoring focus, building AI know-how, long term work on AI projects
- do some basic intro into AI
- explain what an AI project looks like (and could/should)
- how much of AI project is actually AI related
2) Talk about UX / UI
- focus on output side
=> explain human cognitive abilities (e.g. expected numbers of neurons involved into understanding a picture),
=> visual and audio focus, difference between static and dynamic (video) pictures on screen
- focus on input side
=> how we do things typically (keyboard, mouse, touch screen, desktop/laptop/handtop-erm-held)
=> changes when it comes to audio and video input (aka microphone and camera with or without temporal aspect)
=> explain text2speech, speech2text - general audio frameworks one can use from start - how it typically works out
=> explain picture pattern detection (aka video frame per frame) + typical picture classification approaches
=> explain temporal video recognition shortly
=> talk about performance (aka do I need a few GPUs to get this going?)
3) What happened in the world and why we need this tech?
- where we were at March this year?
=> gesture recognition examples
=> audio recognition examples
=> our internal mood barometer app example
- what happened
=> covid-19 = no more touching!
(sharing any screen, mouse, keyboard is a big no-go!)
=> hackatons = help the world, try to put this tech to good use
=> accessibility angle worth noting
=> where we go from here
- outlook of the new normal, how this tech is going to help us in the future
- retrospective of lessons learned
4) live-demo of one of our apps on stage on a laptop (a normal dev PC, no GPU, no fancy stuff)
5) Q&A / Discussion
