Title: Transaction Classification with Google BigQuery and Vertex AI for Personal Finance
Speaker: Artur Fejklowicz, AXA Schweiz
Description: This session demonstrates a professional, end-to-end MLOps system built on Google Cloud to automatically classify personal financial transactions. We'll dive deep into a two-pipeline system orchestrated by Vertex AI: one for training and evaluating a "champion" model, and another for generating batch predictions. The core of the system is a custom Wide & Deep model built with the TensorFlow Keras functional API. We'll also cover how foundational infrastructure is managed with Terraform and how BigQuery serves as the central data warehouse, feeding into Google Sheets for human verification and Looker Studio for final visualization.

Title: Google Cloud Multimedia Showcase
Speaker: Darren Evans, Google
Description: I’ll be showcasing computer vision with speech recognition, video generation with Veo3, and efficient video transcoding workflows. I’ll also demo the new Playwright-enabled computer-use model and, if time allows, the Nano Banana CLI tool. I’ll share how these tools connect through real-world use cases for AI-driven creativity and automation.
