Tutorial
=======

*Work smarter, not harder with automated human-like image captions* with Simon Plovyt (https://www.linkedin.com/in/simonplovyt) & Karthik Muthuraman (https://www.linkedin.com/in/karthik.muthuraman)

While images provide an incredibly rich description of information at a glance, deriving descriptors in text to match what is being shown is often a time consuming and arduous task. It’s no wonder alt tags on images, which are crucial for the blind to experience web pages, are often left blank. Or exhausted humans sorting and cataloging immense image libraries missing details in meta descriptions.

In this tutorial, you’ll work through building, deploying, and consuming one of the many readily available open source deep learning models on IBM Model Asset Exchange to automate the generation of human-like descriptions of captions for images.

Simon and Karthik are Data Scientists+Developer Advocates at the IBM Center for Open Source Data and AI Technologies (CODAIT).

Special interest groups
======================

PyBay CFP SIG
Have an idea for a talk for our regional conference in August and want to brainstorm with someone or get your proposal reviewed?

Biocommons SIG
---------------------------------------------------

The biocommons software packages help genetic testing companies map patient sequence variation to reference genomes.

Software: https://github.com/biocommons/
Docs: https://hgvs.readthedocs.io/en/stable/intro.html
Gitter Group: https://gitter.im/biocommons/devs

Join us to hack on the installation docs, improve our test coverage, or pick your own issue to solve. (All skill levels are welcome!)

Pydata SIG
------------------------------------------

The PyData SIG brings together people interested in statistics, machine learning, and deep learning to share ideas and learn from each other. The focus will be Python's scientific stack - NumPy, SciPy, Pandas, scikit-learn, PyTorch, TensorFlow, Keras, and related packages.

Beginner SIG
--------------------------------------------

Just getting started learning Python or programming in general? Come to the beginner SIG and work to up your Python skills.
