Talk: The Evolution of AircraftML
Abstract: @aircraftml is a Twitter-bot that uses AWS deep-learning services and features to identify and classify images of aircraft. Using a model built using Amazon SageMaker and trained with tens of thousands of labeled aircraft images, this serverless system is able to accurately classify many modern commercial aircraft. This talk will focus on how the architecture of @aircraftml has evolved over time, where it started and where it is today, and what the driving factors for those changes were, including technology and cost.

A quick survey: I'm thinking about organizing a one day Code Camp style conference in the Bay Area (free for attendees.) If you would be interested in attending that, please let me know which topics you would be interested in. https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfO1HYWtfD2iyYKwifsdJiHud2LRm0giZlAGfDUI3jRBfZghQ/viewform?usp=sf_link . The topics will be approved by the community and the talks will all be centered around code.
