Agenda:
1 - Deep Learning (with TensorFlow 2)
Speaker: Dr. Jon Krohn, Chief Data Scientist at untapt and author of Deep Learning Illustrated.
Relatively obscure a few short years ago, Deep Learning is ubiquitous today across data-driven applications as diverse as machine vision, natural language processing, and super-human game-playing. This Deep Learning primer brings the revolutionary machine-learning approach behind contemporary artificial intelligence to life with interactive demos featuring TensorFlow 2.0, the major, cutting-edge revision of the world’s most popular Deep Learning library.

2 - Using Deep Learning to Build a Unified E-commerce Marketplace
Speaker: Ali Vanderveld, PhD, Head of Data Science at ShopRunner
ShopRunner is an e-commerce company that receives feeds of product data from many different retailer partners, including large department stores and retailers that specialize in electronics, appliances, nutritional products, and more. In order to provide a great user experience on our website and in our mobile app, we need to have one easy-to-navigate product taxonomy. We also would like to have sets of attribute tags that make it easy to filter down to exactly what any shopper is looking for. In this talk I will describe how we are using computer vision and natural language processing to place all of the products from our retailer partners into one easy-to-navigate shopping experience.

3 - Spark NLP for Healthcare: Lessons Learned Building Real-World Healthcare AI Systems
Speaker: Veysel Kocaman, PhD, Senior Data Scientist at John Snow Labs
At the conference, the speaker will review case studies from real-world projects that built AI systems using Natural Language Processing (NLP) in healthcare. These case studies cover projects that deployed automated patient risk prediction, automated diagnosis, clinical guidelines, and revenue cycle optimization. He will also cover why and how NLP was used, what deep learning models and libraries were used, and what was achieved. Key takeaways for the conference attendees will include important considerations for NLP projects including how to build domain-specific healthcare models and using NLP as part of larger and scalable machine learning and deep learning pipelines in a distributed environment.
