AWS DeepRacer Series - Training

This is the first of two sessions on AWS DeepRacer which will cover everything you need to know to train a model to race in the second session which will be a live racing event on May 20th.

We're very privileged to host this session by Eviden's Mark Ross and current DeepRacer World Champion Simon Hill! They'll walk you through what DeepRacer is, how reinforcement learning works and how you can utilise AWS services like CloudFormation and EC2 spot instances to train a DeepRacer car to autonomously drive without breaking the bank.

At the end of this session you should have all you need to train your model ready for a real live racing event in May (with prizes!).

With AWS DeepRacer you'll learn fundamental concepts, skills, and machine learning (ML) training techniques that power foundation models in some of the most advanced generative AI applications today through the fun of racing autonomous cars. AWS DeepRacer gives you a fun and hands-on way to learn to train ML models, where you can see your training come to life by deploying your model onto an autonomous RC car and miniature race track.

Start time is 18:30, and the traditional beer and pizza will of course be provided by our wonderful sponsors at BJSS (now part of CGI).
