Speakers:

• Meghän Kane @meghafon (https://twitter.com/meghafon) - The State of ML for iOS... On the Advent of WWDC 2018 🕯🤓

Machine learning should be accessible to all Apple developer community members who are curious and committed to learning. Let’s get everyone on the same page about the state of ML for iOS before WWDC, so we can hit the ground running next week!*

Core ML, coremltools, TuriCreate, Swift for TensorFlow, Metal Performance Shaders CNN, etc 🤯. There have been many exciting tools made available for developers in the recent past, so let’s review them:

• Demystify & disambiguate: What exactly are each of these?
• Workflow practicality: For what domain problems is it practical to use them?
• Implications: What engineering constraints are linked to using them?
• Big picture: How do the tools fit together in the larger picture of ML for on device prediction?

*Assuming Apple announces further capabilities in the realm of ML.

• John Sundell @johnsundell (https://twitter.com/johnsundell) -The Magic of UI Testing

In this talk, John will show how UI testing can not only be a powerful tool in order to automate parts of your QA process - but how it can also be a somewhat “magical” tool when it comes to working on your app as well. The talk will include pros & cons of UI testing, how to make tests run faster & more stable, and how UI tests can be used during the development process.
