Abstracts:

Lecture #1 - Nimrod Sagie (Hyro) - AI-Powered IVRs: Real-World Lessons
Deploying AI-powered call center agents holds the promise of transforming the caller experience, but reaching production is far from straightforward. In this talk, we’ll walk through our hands-on journey building and launching agents for a healthcare call center. You’ll hear how we tackled everything from natural language intent mapping and advanced call routing, to resolving ambiguity and addressing the quirks of large language models. We’ll dive into real-world failures, unexpected challenges, and the practical decisions that helped us create a system that’s both scalable and reliable.

Lecture #2 - Danny Lazarev (WIZ) - Enhancing Secret Detection with SLMs
Dive into the challenges of LLMs in cybersecurity as we explore the process of fine-tuning a Small Language Model to handle the task of secret detection in code and be efficient enough to run on any laptop.

Lectrue #3 - Mike Erlihson, PhD (Stealth) - Making Text Generation With LLMs Faster
In this lecture we will explore different techniques to accelerate text generation for self-hosted LLMs.
