Featured speakers include:
Longbin Chen - Head of Research, Houzz
The Innovating way to design your home — How the research team at Houzz use modern machine learning and augmented reality technology to help homeowners to design their home; particularly, how we leverage the deep learning to find relevant products (“visual search”) and how we help to visualize the home remodel results (“view in my room”).
Yuanzhen (YZ) Li - Director of Computer Vision, VSCO
A virtual talk taking a peek under the hood at how we used deep learning to learn efficient and semantically-meaningful feature representations of images and how we used them to build VSCO’s “Related Images” feature.
Shruti Sharma - Machine Learning Engineer, VSCO
From Training to Prediction — Overview of how the ML team leverages TensorFlow to train deep convolutional neural network models based on our products’ needs and how we use the models to make real time predictions on images in production via TensorFlow Serving
Melinda Lu - Machine Learning Engineering Mgr, VSCO
The Joy of Plumbing — How we use Kafka and Spark to move data streams in real time at scale — carrying user behavioral events and production database change streams to our machine learning and analytics systems.
