THE FUTURE IS HERE

Ambient Human Experiences: Conversational AI, ChatBots, & AR

This meetup was recorded at Santa Clara on 25th April 2018.

Talk 1:

Abstract

In the past two years, AI technologies are transforming the way we interact with systems and devices across channels. Chatbots and Virtual Personal Assistants are rapidly becoming the most adopted way of conversing with systems and data. Immersive technology such as Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR) are bringing the physical and digital worlds together. In this session, we will discuss and demonstrate how the Conversational AI platform is enabling developers to create ambient user experiences by unifying ChatBots, Messaging Platforms, Image Recognition, Cognitive Services, AR/VR, and voice-enabled devices.

Talk 2: Abstract

This is an introduction to H2O, one of the leading open-source AI platforms, for people taking their first steps into the world of machine learning and big data. The presentation will provide an overview of the challenges you can tackle with H2O – classification, regression, anomaly detection, etc. – and how to download and start using H2O today. Whether you love coding or hate it, H2O has an interface that can cater to your preference (it has an R API, Python API, and web-based UI). There are no requirements to get started, just the desire to get your hands wet (with H2O).
