Image Recognition with Node-RED & IBM Watson [WORKSHOP & XMAS SOCIAL]

The last AI JavaScript event of the year!
Excited to present a fun hands-on workshop lasting 90 mins followed by plenty of food, drink and festive socialising then a trip to the pub!

IBM have kindly offered to host this JavaScript-focused machine learning workshop using Node-RED and Watson Visual Recognition.

In this session we will kick-start with an introduction into Node-RED, which is a Visual tool for wiring together hardware
devices, APIs and online services in new and interesting ways. It provides a browser-based editor that makes it easy to wire together flows using the wide range of nodes in the palette that can be deployed to its runtime in a single-click.

Followed by a overview to the Watson API's. You can use them to build cognition into your application, like image recognition, natural language understanding and a few others.
For the hands-on workshop we will build a Node red application on IBM cloud incorporating Visual Recognition to analyse the content of Images.

The workshop will be hosted by Yamini Rao.
Yamini is a Developer Advocate at IBM. She spends most of her time working in Data Science, AI APIs and Node-RED.

PLEASE NOTE this is on a Friday night so if you don't think you can make it please do not stay 'attending' as it means other people won't be able to use the space. It will be a fun sociable night after the workshop with opportunities to chat with your fellow Javascripters interested in machine learning!
