Mapping

In this session of HKWD we dive into the world of local models with Google AI. The evening will be held at Garage society with their support along with AngelFlow. The night is split into two parts. One on video game development of Non Player Characters and using GenAI and the other will be The Browser is the Brain: Running Google Gemma Locally with WebGPU. **Talk 1: Video game development of Non Player Characters and using GenAI** Using AI in video games is not a new idea and has been used a long time for things like game mechanics, character movements, path finding, dynamic levels and maps. However using it for non playable charters is new and Google Gemma is designed exactly for that. We take a look at how to get up and running with Gemma in Unity and some of the alternatives. **Gemma** Google has a great library designed just for Non Player Characters and we will explore how to use it in Unity. https://ai.google.dev/gdc **About Rhys Turner** Co founder, Creative Technologist and Director, Tronica Rhys Turner is a Creative Technologist and Innovation Technologist, specialising in the intersection of technology, design, and luxury experiences. With a background in emerging technologies, AI, and interactive media, he explores innovative ways to enhance digital storytelling and customer engagement. His work focuses on blending creativity with technical innovation, pushing the boundaries of digital craftsmanship in the fashion and beauty industries. **Talk 2: The Browser is the Brain: Running Google Gemma Locally with WebGPU** While many associate AI with heavy cloud costs and latency, Google’s Gemma is small and efficient enough to run directly in the user's browser. In this session, Frankie (GDG Hong Kong) explores the frontier of "Local AI" for the web. We will discuss how developers can use Google’s tools to run Gemma models on-device via WebGPU. This approach eliminates API costs and privacy concerns, allowing web developers to create highly responsive, AI-powered interfaces that feel as fluid as a modern video game—all without a backend. **About Frankie Wu** Organiser, GDG Hong Kong As an Al Engineer, Frankie’s role revolves around leveraging Large Language Models and data mining to innovate news analytics. His recent academic journey culminated with a Master's in Computer Science from The University of Hong Kong, focusing on financial computing which complements his current work. Frankie’s expertise in Python and passion for machine learning empower him to contribute to large enterprise digital transformation. The fusion of risk management principles from his bachelor's degree and psychological insights helps him craft Al solutions that are not only technically sound but also contextually aware, enhancing the strategic decision-making process. **Sponsors and supporting partner** [Tronica](https://tronica.io/) - HKWD sponsor [Angelflow](https://www.angelflow.vc/) - supporting partner [Garage Society](https://www.thegaragesociety.com/) - supporting partner **Event notes** * This event is first come first serve and will be letting people in on a capacity basis * food and drinks buy by the bar * vip reserved seats upon request

Window functions have nothing to do with the Windows operating system but provide a “window” to a result set when used in SQL queries. They are powerful, set-based methods to view data in unexpected ways. Window functions provide easy, set-based solutions to solve some common problems: * Using running totals * Performing operations in intervals * Identifying data gaps and islands * Performing aggregates without losing detail Many people are confused by window functions and do not know how to use them properly. This session will explore window functions, how they work, and how to use them. Demonstrations with several examples will solidify how window functions can simplify queries and make them more powerful.

**Google Analytics Alternatives** Is it finally time to make the switch away from Google Analytics? Two-and-a-half years ago Jason Packer asked this question at Columbus Web Analytics Wednesday. Since then: Google’s Universal Analytics has been sunset, we’ve changed our name to Columbus Data & Analytics Wednesday, and Jason has released two editions of his book “Google Analytics Alternatives”. Fresh off the release of the 2nd edition of his book, we thought it was time to re-open this conversation. While people love to complain about it, GA’s market share has remained relatively constant (at least in the United States). Why is that? You won’t find any complaints about GA4 in this talk, but rather an overview of what’s currently available in the market and how to frame your decision-making process. We’ll also be giving out some free copies of Jason’s book! So even if you’ve got a “GA4Lyfe” tattoo (no judgement), there’s free books to go with the free pizza and beer.
