Understanding conflict: how science and psychology can change how we collaborate

Conflict it is hard, but it doesn't have to be. In this talk Sarah Young explores how understanding the science of stress and the psychology of conflict can teach us to become better communicators and ultimately better collaborators.

Using Reinforcement Learning To Beat Go Masters and Write Java Unit Tests

Google Alpha Go uses reinforcement learning to beat Go masters. In the same way AI can search for the best Go move, AI can search for the best unit test for Java code.

This presentation explains how supervised and unsupervised learning works, and how they're used in AlphaGo, and how the same reinforcement learning approach writes Java unit tests in Diffblue Cover. Includes a brief demo of unit test-writing on Spring PetClinic.
