18:30 - 19:20 - "FROM IDEA TO PRODUCTION​ - a story of a journey" by Lucian Cioranu @ DataGrid Software

Investing in Machine Learning and AI is a top priority for many companies. However, despite the numerous initiatives, only a few are successfully deployed in production. Navigating the road to AI can be challenging, with many crossroads that can lead to confusion and failure without proper guidance and tools. This presentation offers a compass to help companies successfully implement AI, highlighting the key steps and considerations that lead to a successful AI story. While not a complete map, this presentation provides valuable insights for those looking to embark on the journey to AI.​

19:20 - 19:40 - Break

19:40 - 20:30 - "Object detection - the HOW and WHY for banking" by Adela Muresan @ Banca Transilvania

We will go together through the steps of building a custom object detector model using YOLO v7, from data labelling to model generation. We'll have a look at some use cases in banking, together with lessons learned while implementing it in Banca Transilvania.
