Half-Day Training | Machine Learning | ML for Programmers | Intermediate
If you can write a model in sklearn, you can make the leap to Bayesian inference with PyMC3, a user-friendly intro to probabilistic programming (PP) in Python. PP just means building models where the building blocks are probability distributions! And we can use PP to do Bayesian inference easily. Bayesian inference allows us to solve problems that aren’t otherwise tractable with classical methods...more details

Scikit-learn is a machine learning library in Python that is used by many data science practitioners. In this training, we will learn about model evaluation, model calibration, and model inspection. We will start by learning about evaluating a machine learning model after it is trained. We will compare various metrics such as ROC AUC and mean average precision and see how they behave on datasets with different characteristics. We will use scikit-learn’s plotting API to easily visualize the performance of a model and to compare multiple models. Next, we will learn about how to calibrate a machine learning model with scikit-learn. A well-calibrated model will predict probabilities that reflect the true likelihood of an event...more details

Scikit-learn is a machine learning library in Python that is used by many data science practitioners. Machine learning is a valuable tool used across many domains such as medicine, physics, and finance. We will start this training by learning about scikit-learn’s API for supervised machine learning. scikit-learn’s API mainly consists of three methods: fit, to build models, predict, to make predictions from models, and transform, to change the representation of the input data...more details

How could a violation of the triangle inequality theorem in mathematics lead to a cure for cancer? How can a mathematical concept from the 18th century be used to estimate the mass density of galaxies across the Universe? How could a marketing segmentation algorithm protect astronauts traveling to Mars from certain death? How does a F1 race from the 1950’s inspire one of the greatest machine learning use cases for the Internet of Things? This workshop will answer these questions, and more, by presenting several examples of typical algorithms that were adopted for specific use cases or application domains, then showing how each one can be adapted to an atypical (often mind-bending) use case, producing significantly surprising results in some other domain…more details

Unsupervised learning models (including analysis of correlations, clusters, and associations in data) converge more readily to a useful solution if we start with good model parameterizations. Feature engineering is key, but selection of features often becomes guesswork. Similarly, in supervised machine learning, the choice of features in labeled data to use in training may still seem arbitrary. So, how does model-building start and move towards an optimal solution? This challenge is known as the cold-start problem! The solution to the problem is easy (sort of): We start with a guess, a totally random guess! That sounds so random and so wrong! But there is an orderly and productive way forward from such a start, which we will describe in this workshop…more details

Half-Day Training | Machine Learning | Intermediate
Scikit-learn is a machine learning library in Python that is used by many data science practitioners. In this training, we will learn about processing text data, working with imbalanced data and Poisson regression. We will start by learning about processing text data with scikit-learn’s CountVectorizer and TfidfVectorizer. The CountVectorizer converts a collection of text documents into a matrix of token counts. We will explore the hyper-parameters that the CountVectorizer provides for creating these token counts. The TfidfVectorizer weights the count features into floating point values using the term frequency and inverse document-frequency...more details

Scikit-learn is a machine learning library in Python that is used by many data science practitioners. In this training, we will learn about cross validation, tuning machine learning algorithms and pandas interoperability. We will start by learning about cross validation for machine learning. Cross validation enables us to evaluate our machine learning models by splitting our data into training and testing datasets. We will cover cross validation schemes such as K-Fold cross-validation and the importance of stratifying your data. Next, we will learn about tuning algorithms in scikit-learn with grid search and random search. These hyper-parameter searching techniques help find hyper-parameter combinations that are suited for your dataset...more details
Half-Day Training | Deep Learning | Intermediate
In this tutorial, we will introduce how to build an object detection model. Specifically, we will build an object detection model that identifies chess pieces (a custom dataset provided by the presenter). In doing so, participants will gain insight into the fundamentals of computer vision: structuring a good problem for object detection, dataset collection and annotation, data preparation through preprocessing, data augmentation to support a well-fit model, training a model, debugging a model’s fit, and using the model for inference.
We will introduce Keras and TensorFlow as our specific libraries for writing computer vision models and train a Yolov3 (You Only Look Once) model for real-time detection. Participants will leverage Colab for GPU compute...more details

If you’ve never heard of the “good, fast, cheap” dilemma, it goes something like this: You can have something good and fast, but it won’t be cheap. You can have something good and cheap, but it won’t be fast. You can have something fast and cheap, but it won’t be good. In short, you can pick two of the three but you can’t have all three. If you’ve tackled a data science problem before, I can all but guarantee that you’ve run into missing data. How do we handle it? Well, we can avoid, ignore, or try to account for missing data. The problem is, none of these strategies are good, fast, *and* cheap...more details

Accelerating The Journey To Document Understanding AI
Companies are sitting on a goldmine. You have all these documents – docs, emails, PDFs, forms, images… Some of these you need to understand as a requirement of doing business but others could give you valuable insight into your business and customers to help you make better decisions. But instead most documents are just sitting there, untapped, because it’s difficult to read, compare and understand the relationship between them.
Document AI turns unstructured documents into structured data with the power to read, understand and make it useful. Under the hood, Vision and NLP technology give you the capability to unlock the values of documents and offers you a competitive advantage to re-invest & repurpose the resources for your organization…more details

AI model inference on the phone is important to deliver real-time experience that requires execution locally on the device. But there are many constraints to build a scalable solution addressing all the different hardware specs and platform requirements across Android and iOS. Devices have limited storage and memory, and the platform app stores impose restrictions on the size of the app package.
ONNX Runtime Mobile is a new feature to address the needs for developers to build solutions for Mobile devices. You can build a reduced size binary package to integrate with the phone application and inference your ONNX models locally on devices.
ONNX Quantization techniques can be used to reduce the model size by converting FP32 weights to INT8. Improved performance is achieved with INT8 execution on ARM processors on the mobile phone…more details
