Agenda:

1. KerasCV for the Young and Restless, by Suvaditya Mukherjee
2. Intro to Keras Core, by Aritra Roy Gosthipaty (ML GDE)
3. Keras Core is all you need, Aakash Nain (ML GDE)
4. Compete in Kaggle using Keras Core and KerasNLP, Usha Rengaraju (ML GDE)
5. Modular NLP Workflows with KerasNLP, by Anshuman Mishra

Talk #1: KerasCV for the Young and Restless
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In this talk, I will cover a basic overview of what one can accomplish with KerasCV, out of the box, and how it can help anyone to supercharge their Computer Vision workflows in the most efficient and simple method possible.

Speaker bio
Suvaditya is a Google Developer Expert for Machine Learning (TensorFlow Core / Keras), a Research Intern at the Center for Visual Information Technology at IIIT-Hyderabad, an author for PyImageSearch, and a senior-year undergrad student at the Department of Artificial Intelligence, NMIMS University in Mumbai, India. Follow him on Twitter and LinkedIn.

Talk #2: Intro to Keras Core
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Understanding the Keras Philosophy. What leads to the inception of Keras Core. We will also understand the basics of Keras Core.

Speaker bio
Aritra is an ML Engineer at PyImageSearch, Contractor at Keras, GDE in ML.

Talk #3: Keras Core is all you need
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This talk will give you an idea about Keras Core, the idea behind it, and why it should be a part of your workflow.

Speaker bio
I am Aakash Nain, currently working as a Senior Data Scientist at H2O.ai. I am one of the collaborators for Keras Core and maintainer for TensorFlow-addons. I am also one of the Google Developers Experts in Machine Learning and JAX. I love open source, and I contribute to the TensorFlow, Keras, and JAX ecosystem regularly.

Talk #4: Compete in Kaggle using Keras Core and KerasNLP
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The talk covers end to end code walkthrough of LLM Science exam competition using Keras Core and KerasNLP . Notebook Link https://www.kaggle.com/code/usharengaraju/gpt2-kerasnlp-w-b

Talk #5: Modular NLP Workflows with KerasNLP
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We will delve into KerasNLP, which represents one of the latest offerings presented by the Keras team at Google. This library equips developers with a comprehensive set of essential tools to construct personalized Natural Language Processing (NLP) workflows, encompassing tasks that span from Text Generation to semantic similarity analysis. The central focus of this presentation will be directed towards the modular Application Programming Interface (API) and its transformative impact on the landscape of NLP systems, in alignment with the evolving philosophy propagated by the Keras framework.

Speaker bio
I am Anshuman Mishra. I’ve just graduated from NIT Warangal India. Currently I am working as a Machine Learning Engineer at Flip and am about to complete my Google Summer of Code at TensorFlow (keras-team). I contribute to Open Source in my free time and mentor students.
