Agenda:

7:00p - 7:15p Announcements and introductions

7:15p - 7:30p PBJ Session
"Convolutional Junction...What's your function?" by Keith Brooks
In this talk, I'll give you an overview of Convolutional Neural Network for Image Classification. We'll discuss what a CNN is, feature learning and classification.

7:30p - 7:45p Right Brain Talk
"Technology is generic and doesn't actually solve your problem" by Jason Pennington
IoT or internet of Things is more than a buzzword. It’s a reality. It’s here. It’s our role to foster deployments that are meaningful, productive, or add convenience. IoT represents a great opportunity to drive change and solve problems. At the same time however, technology is becoming increasingly approachable and available. Our discussion will center around technology as a generic concept while pursuing a greater goal of creating context, aligning technology to problems, and fostering outcomes.

7:45p - 8:00p Door Prizes

8:00p - 8:45p Pro Talk
"Monte Carlo Simulations in Python" by Sam Eschker
From computational finance to computer vision, Monte Carlo methods allow us to model elusive scenarios where other models fall short. In this talk, we’ll discuss the power and capability of random variable generation and work through a few simulations while we’re at it!
