如何能用业内行话和Data Scientists们谈笑风生?

我们的嘉宾 Peter Voss 先生, 来自AGI Innovations Inc. 的 Founder & CEO, 会为我们带来人工智能领域最全面和前沿的分析

“Recently, an increasing number of prominent researchers have begun to publicly acknowledge some core problems of current approaches – namely, the inability of systems to learn incrementally and autonomously, and their lack of generality, transfer learning, and reasoning ability. In order to break through this intelligence bottleneck, another approach is starting to gain momentum: ‘Cognitive Architectures’. 

This paradigm is closely related to what has been called the ‘Third Wave of AI’ – computers that can think, learn, and reason like humans.”

Distributed databases can make so many things easier for a developer but not always for DevOps. Almost never for DevOps. Kubernetes has come to the rescue with an easy application orchestration!

我们来自 GridGain System 的嘉宾 Dani Traphagen 将会在他的演讲中展示Kubernetes的解决方案 : 

Kubernetes can orchestrate distributed database like Apache Ignite, in particular : 
*Cluster Assembling - database nodes auto-discovery in Kubernetes

*Database Resilience - automated horizontal scalability

*Database Availability - what’s the role of Kubernetes and the database

*Utilizing both RAM and disk - setup Apache Ignite in a way to get in-memory performance with durability of disk

How to use non-negative matrix factorization to identify latent factors ("topics") in a corpus of college essays?

如果你是在校学生, 相信这会是一个很有趣的话题, 我们来自 PlutoTV 的数据科学家 Mike Yung 将会为我们呈现他的解决方案 : 

Visualize the findings in 2D using PCA (or tSNE), and demonstrate different similarity metrics to arrive at the final product: the essay matching tool. 

作为生活和学习的大本营，洛杉矶市政府在数据科学领域内的作为也是大家普遍关心和好奇的, 我们特别邀请到 洛杉矶市政府 办公厅数据策略科学家Juan Vasquez 带来一些政企的实际合作案例 : 

“We will share 3 to 5 best practices anchored around stories from the partnership between the Mayor's Office of Budget & Innovation, top-tier universities, community groups and professional organizations.”

如果你对金融市场感兴趣, 那么时下火热的虚拟货币话题不得不谈, 我们邀请到来自 Stealth Fintech 公司的CEO, Alexandra Damsker 女士, 她会以keynote的形式为我们讲解虚拟货币在经济、社会以及法律领域内的交互关系，当然她也会教到大家一些投资技巧哦 : 

“In this talk, I will lay out the basic structure of cryptocurrencies, the blockchain system that underpins it, and the rise of ICOs. I will then discuss financial, social and legal implications of cryptocurrencies. 

These range from the nature of fiat currency, how crypto arose, current securities and other legal issues related to ICOs and crypto, financial issues relating to the use of crypto and valuation, and social issues attendant with cryptos. Finally, I will discuss best and worst use cases, as well as the investment tips and flags as they are becoming clear.“

如果你对医疗数据科学感兴趣, 那么来自 Deep 6 AI公司的数据科学家兼Co-Foudner身份的 Brian Dolan 先生, 他带来的议题将讲述大数据在未来医疗领域内的广泛应用, 相信这会是大家都非常感兴趣的话题 : 

Adoption of new Patient Centric software in the Health Care industry means huge new data sets will soon be available. These corpora include enormous amounts of unstructured text, detailed phenotype expression data, bio-bank tissue data and complicated interactions of pharmaceuticals. Though welcome, these data require we take large steps forward in our ability to process, analyze, model and predict patient health.

他的演讲会涵盖到的内容将包括：

*Key insights from the fight against Cancer using AI
*The role of Natural Language Processing in the new paradigm
*How to adapt traditional AI & ML methods to current challenges
*The use of graph structures to simplify problems
*The role of High-Performance Computing and how analysts can participate
*How software packages simultaneously liberate and constrain the field of Data Science
