Toronto AI Meetup – Introduction to Deep Learning by Microsoft

Written on . Posted in Toronto AI Meetups, Toronto AI Official.

Details

Topic:
Introduction to Deep Learning by Microsoft

SIGN UP HERE

https://www.meetup.com/Toronto-AI/events/266978795/


Talk Details:
Deep learning is currently a hot topic when it comes to Artificial Intelligence. Often this topic seems out of reach to developers – I disagree! This session will introduce the basic concepts needed to understand deep learning and its use with a specific emphasis on computer vision. Attendees will learn what is actually happening when training a model and how the output can be used in a production setting with a simple image classification problem.

Speaker Bio:
My name is Seth Juarez. I currently live near Redmond, Washington and work for Microsoft. I received my Bachelors Degree in Computer Science at UNLV with a Minor in Mathematics. I also completed a Masters Degree at the University of Utah in the field of Computer Science. I currently am interested in Artificial Intelligence specifically in the realm of Machine Learning.

AI crash course – Apache MXNet with Gluon

Written on . Posted in Toronto AI Official.

https://www.meetup.com/Toronto-AI/events/254260387/

 

Join us for a crash course on using MXNet and Gluon for your artificial intelligence projects.

The talk is given by Sergei Sokolov, a deep learning engineer from Amazon Web Services. He’s flying in from Vancouver for the event!

This is going to be a huge event – hint: it’s worth getting on the waitlist.

Itinerary:
—————————-
6-6:15 – Arrival & Social
6:15 – Announcements
6:20 – Apache MXNet and Gluon crash course
7:35 – AI News
7:40 – Social
8:00 – All done!

Important to know
—————————-
– Due to building security regulations, Rangle employees will be by the elevators at 18 York St and will escort you up to the 5th floor.
– There is no cost for the event.

Deep Learning in Keras + TorontoAI x CSSU

Written on . Posted in Toronto AI Official.

https://www.meetup.com/Toronto-AI/events/251576755/

Details
Join us at UofT for an Intro to the Keras framework, a widely used open source AI framework that can run on top of TensorFlow, designed to make the prototyping and development of deep learning models much easier.

We’ll introduce the Sequential model and show how it can be used to build example neural networks: A deep convolutional network and a multi-layer LSTM character level model for modelling a distribution of names – with pretty cool results 😉

We’ll be providing the code and you’ll be able to run it within Colaboratory – a hosted notebook from a Google research project created to help disseminate machine learning education and research.

Itinerary:
—————————-
6-6:15 – Arrival
6:15 – Announcements
6:20 – Intro to Keras and code walkthrough
7:20 – Q&A
7:35 – Important new papers in AI
7:45 – Social time
8:00 – All done!

Important to know
—————————-
– There is no cost for the event.
– Attendees must join the Slack channel for Toronto AI prior to the event:
