#Meetup 8: Talks and Demos

This will be a talk seasion mixed with demos.

Talk 1: Enhancing User Experience with Data Science by Varun Panicker, Machine Learning Engineer, Grey Atom

Talk level: Intermediate

Description: Long heralded as a field for the right-brained, the world of User Experience Design has evolved and transformed itself into a multidisciplinary arena with an emphasis on data science. We will explore some data driven techniques to improve how users engage with applications, while learning how data driven design can benefit businesses and it's user's alike.

Takeaways: An understanding of how User Experience and Data Science mesh together to deliver insights and influence each other. An introduction to conversational interfaces Quantitative vs Qualitative data to deliver insights.

Talk 2: Neural Machine Translation (NMT) by Varun Kochar, Intern, Episource.

Talk level: Intermediate

Description: Brief history of Machine Translation (Statistical Translation) and NMT. Since NMT is the use of neural network models and deep learning, so to comprehend better, Recurrent Neural Network (RNN) and LSTM will be explained.

Takeaways: How RNN / LSTM works, how can they be applied in various applications, what is NMT and why this technique is better than other machine translation techniques.
