MLOps from the trenches: Building a computer vision solution to recognize shipping containers

We made a computer vision solution for a client that allows dock workers to quickly scan codes from shipping containers into an inspection app on their mobile phones so they can inspect the freight contained in the shipping containers. What sounded like an easy OCR project turned out to be quite an undertaking. We learned a ton from this project. For example that building a deep learning model can be quite a challenge especially when ready-made models turn out not to work for your case.

In this session, we’ll talk you through our approach and the lessons we learned. We’ll cover the following topics:

- How we made an MLOps environment on Azure without spending too much.
- How we handled a dataset with 5.3 million samples and how that broke our environment.
- How we deployed our model to Android and IOS so it can use the model without an internet connection.
- How we’re using A/B testing on Android devices to find out which model is the best.

If you’re interested in learning about MLOps outside the lab then this is certainly going to be entertaining.

Building a chat assistent with Azure OpenAI service

You’ve probably used ChatGPT or Github copilot in your work at least once or maybe you’re using it on a daily basis and maybe you’re wondering how you can build something like that yourself. This is the session for you. I’ll show you how we made our own ChatGPT instance at Info Support and connected it to our internal knowledge base. We’ll cover how to write a good system prompt, how to structure the conversation, and how to connect your own data sources. Finally, we’ll talk a little bit about using the chat API for other things than chat.

Exploring Vector Databases: A Comprehensive Guide to Setup, Usage, and Use Cases

Vector databases are a new invention that few developers have worked with before. It's a database but quite different from your average relational database. In this session, we'll take a deep dive into vector databases and how to set one up and use it from your C# code. We'll also look at some exciting use cases where we've used vector databases. Finally, we'll show you what we learned using a vector database.
