Deep Learning, Visual Recognition & Openshift

First up, Brad from IBM will give an introduction to Deep Reinforcement Learning. He'll talk about the trial-and-error method of teaching a complex system (like a robot) to perform a task. The talk will cover OpenAI Gym and Gazebo as introductory frameworks.

Rory from Ammeon will showcase the Watson Visual Recognition project chosen to represent the UK & Ireland in the European finals of the Watson Build 2018. Leveraging image classification to verify the location of ships at sea, Ammeon built a solution that incorporates blockchain, AI and IoT. Rory will share details of the project and deliver a brief demo.

Brad will then close the evening off with Red Hat OpenShift. It's a very popular container platform based on Kubernetes. He will give an overview of how OpenShift differs from other Kube platforms and why so many companies are migrating to it.

As usual it's beer and pizza for the networking - we look forward to seeing you there!
