Behaviour Driven Development (BDD)

Speaker: Naren

Developers are familiar with the Test Driven Development (TDD) where the requirements are turned into very specific test cases and the code blocks are tested thoroughly by writing unit tests. But these test cases do not show the developers how the product should behave to the end user, instead it focuses on the specifics of the each code block. This is the reason why many product managers wonder, why the developers can't get the product right in minimal iterations. By following BDD with TDD, the developer can know "how to test the product?" instead of just testing the implementation of the code.

At the end of this talk, the audience will get an introduction to BDD and they will know where to use BDD for better development of products.

Introduction to face recognition with Deep Learning

Speaker: Manish

This session will focus on how deep learning is used in image processing applications like face recognition, handwriting recognition and others using tensorflow.

Sentiment Analysis with Recurrent Neural Networks

Speaker: Suriyadeepan

Recurrent Neural Networks are revolutionizing the NLP industry. We encounter more intelligent chatbots everyday. This session will be an introduction to Language Modelling with Neural Networks. We will be working with Twitter Sentiment Corpus (http://www.sananalytics.com/lab/twitter-sentiment/), which is a small collection of tweets that mention @apple, #google, #micosoft and #twitter. Our goal is to classify the tweets into one of these classes, {positive, neutral, negative, irrelevant}, using Google's Tensorflow framework.
