-Main Talk
=Augment your reality
Deep Learning has the ability to disrupt and to disrupt fast. The democratization of AI has meant that algorithms and tools are mature enough to make a difference in almost any industry. The uptake of AI to augment our world will depend on the ability to interact with AI services in a familiar way. The recent agreement between Amazon’s Jeff Bezos and Microsoft’s Satya Nadella to integrate Alexa as a service in Cortana, and to integrate Cortana as a service in Alexa is a clear indication that the value is not in the assistant itself, but rather in the ability to connect services with people. I will use the demo to show you an effortless way to interact with a Computer Vision System that is aware of its surroundings using the Google Home Assistant. I will use the demo to show you a natural way to interact with a Computer Vision System that is aware of its surroundings using the Google Home Assistant.

=How to see in multiple dimensions... over time
High dimensional data is typically hard to understand because humans aren't built for experiencing more than three or four dimensions. Mapping high dimensional data into low dimensions makes it easier to spot patterns. If the high dimensional data also changes with time, this introduces an additional layer of complexity.
This talk is about using statistics magic to see into high dimensions even as the data changes with time.
