Deep Learning at Scale: Distributed Training and Hyperparameter Search for Image Recognition Problems

Training complex image recognition model on a large dataset using one machine can be long and cumbersome. This talk focuses on methods and libraries, which allow us to train models on a dataset that does not fit into memory, or maybe even on the disk using multiple GPUs or even nodes. The ways of using multiple GPUs and nodes will be discussed and tradeoffs between different approaches will be compared.

Turning a Wasting into a Learning Culture - Combining NLP and Neural Networks to truly Understand and Predict Customers' Behaviour

Most of the customer feedback of companies around the globe is being wasted, as it is not used to learn, derive insights or to optimize products and processes. At the same time, the amount of customer survey and observation data within companies is growing at heavy speed. The presentation will introduce levers on how to cope with this phenomenon and illustrate, which role Data Science and Machine Learning should Play from an analytical and business perspective.

Optimize your Data Pipeline without Rewriting it

It is not fast enough! That is one of the more common responses to a data engineer when putting a data pipeline in production. It is easy to dig down into the code and try to optimize it. My experience as a data engineer shows me that it is often easier and more efficient, both in time spent and outcome, to focus on a more holistic view of the pipeline.

Real-Time Data Streaming with Azure Stream Analytics

It’s imperative in today’s world to be able to make split second decisions based on real-time data. Reports based on batch data are great for looking back at trends and potentially making long-term decision, but old data is in many cases already obsolete, and the opportunity to have an actionable impact on the success of a specific process may have been lost.
