AI NEXTCon 2020 - Seattle

Title:	Serverless Machine Learning with TensorFlow 2.0
Date:	9:00am-4:00pm, Feb. 14th, Friday
Instructor:	Amy Unruh, Axel Magnuson, Google
Course Outline:	This workshop provides a hands-on introduction to designing and building machine learning models on structured data on Google Cloud Platform. You will learn machine learning (ML) concepts and how to implement them using both BigQuery Machine Learning and TensorFlow/Keras. You will apply the lessons to a large out-of-memory dataset and develop hands-on skills in developing, evaluating, and productionizing ML models. The course includes 7 modules. Each of module is about 45 minutes and consists of 15 min lecture and 30 min codelab: Module 0: Intro to machine learning and identify problems can be solved by ML Module 1: Intro to BigQuery, TensorFlow and Cloud AI Platform Notebooks Module 2: Use BigQuery ML to build our first ML models for taxifare prediction Module 3: Learn how to read large datasets using TensorFlow. Module 4: Build a DNN model using Keras. Module 5: Improve the basic models through feature engineering Module 6: Carry out equivalent feature engineering in Keras Module 7: Productionize the models 12pm-1pm: lunch and networking break

Title:	Deep Learning for Computer Vision
Date:	9:00am-4:00pm, Feb. 15th~16th (Sat, Sun)
Instructor:	Andrew Ferlitsch, Google Cloud AI Andrew is a machine learning expert at Google. he educates software engineers in machine learning and artificial intelligence. He is the creator of and oversees the development of the open source project Gap, which is a ML data engineering framework for computer vision. Andrew was formerly a principal research scientist at Sharp Corporation, working on imaging, energy, solar, teleconferencing, digital signage, and autonomous vehicles
Course Objectives:	As applied engineering just knows building models are not sufficient for production grade software, these roles focus on core principles, best practices, design patterns, and expertise with a framework and toolset, such as deploy models, and scale for your fast growing applications/services. This 2-day immersive instructor-led training will teach everything you need to know to become a software engineer in deep learning, computer vision! You will learn: Recognize problems can be solved with deep learning and Select right technique for problems Select the right technique for the problems. Master deep learning algorithms, models and computer vision Master the most popular tools like numpy, Keras, Tensorflow, and openCV Master google cloud machine learning pipelines This training is packed with practical exercises and code labs. not only will you learn theory, but also get hands-on practice building your own models, tuning models, and serving models
