Interested in “intelligent machines” from a young age\, the quest for Artificial Intelligence spans three academic degrees across multiple decades including a PhD in “Artificial Intelligence\, Executive Attention and Autonomous Robotics from The UK’s Open University”. A passion for healthcare\, sparked in 2015 continues to the present\, developing biomimetic\, biologically plausible\, privacy protecting\, embedded AI for eldercare. \n***\nPlease join us at the session that is best suited to your time zone.

SUMMARY:Pass or Play: What does GenAI mean for the Java developer?
DESCRIPTION:***Please Use Source Link Below to Confirm Event Details***\n  \n\nDetails\n\n\nGenAI\, LLM\, and other buzzwords are everywhere. The sea of acronyms can feel like (and sometimes actually are) a black box for the complex logic and processes that underpin them. Does/should a Java developer care? \nIn this session\, we’ll explore how these technologies operate and cover many of the technical terms that go along with them\, such as hallucinations\, grounding\, and more. We will understand the abilities GenAI can provide to technical solutions alongside some of the struggles they bring\, as well. Live-code examples will show how Java developers can utilize GenAI and help determine whether they are worth the hype. Come see if you should pass or play on GenAI. \nBio: Jennifer Reif is a Developer Advocate at Neo4j\, speaker\, and blogger with an MS in CMIS. An avid developer and problem-solver\, she has worked with many businesses and projects to organize and make sense of widespread data assets and leverage them for maximum business value. She has expertise in a variety of commercial and open source tools\, and she enjoys learning new technologies\, sometimes on a daily basis! Her passion is finding ways to organize chaos and deliver software more effectively.

SUMMARY:Benjamin Herson: The Very Idea of Scope: Applying Scope to More Than Code
DESCRIPTION:***Please Use Source Link Below to Confirm Event Details***\n  \n\nDetails\n\n\nThe Very Idea of Scope: Applying Scope to More Than Code \nAs software developers\, we learn the concept of scope early so that we can organize our code properly\, but what if I were to tell you [insert Morpheus meme here] that applying the concept of scope to other parts of your career could yield amazing benefits? From understanding job scope (junior vs. mid-level\, vs. senior\, etc) to how to rescue technical conversations\, to delivering the ticket you’re working on\, scope as a paradigm can be broadly applied. Let’s step back together and examine the broad systems that make up a successful career in tech.

SUMMARY:Feb 2024 – AI\, Machine Learning & Data Science Meetup
DESCRIPTION:***Please Use Source Link Below to Confirm Event Details***\n  \n\nDetails\n\n\nWhen\nFeb 15\, 2024 – 10:00 AM Pacific \nWhere\nVirtual / Zoom – https://voxel51.com/computer-vision-events/feb-2024-ai-machine-learning-data-science-meetup/ \nAgenda \nTowards Fair Computer Vision: Discover the Hidden Biases of an Image Classifier \nRecent works find that AI algorithms learn biases from data. Therefore\, it is urgent and vital to identify biases in AI algorithms. However\, previous bias identification methods overly rely on human experts to conjecture potential biases\, which may neglect other underlying biases not realized by humans. Is there an automatic way to assist human experts in finding biases in a broad domain of image classifiers? In this talk\, I will introduce solutions. \nSpeaker: Chenliang Xu is an Associate Professor in the Department of Computer Science at the University of Rochester. His research originates in computer vision and tackles interdisciplinary topics\, including video understanding\, audio-visual learning\, vision and language\, and methods for trustworthy AI. He has authored over 90 peer-reviewed papers in computer vision\, machine learning\, multimedia\, and AI venues. \nFood Waste Classification with AI \n1/3 of all food gets wasted\, with millions of tons of food being thrown away each day. Food does not mean the same thing everywhere in the world\, there are thousands of different meals across the world\, therefore a lot of different classes to distinguish between. In this talk we’ll see through challenges of food-waste classification and see how foundation models can be useful to this task. We will also explore how we use FiftyOne to test models during development. \nSpeaker: Luka Posilović is a computer scientist with a PhD from FER\, Zagreb\, Croatia\, working as a Head of machine learning in Kitro. Him and the team are trying to reduce the global food waste problem by using AI. \nObjects and Image Geo-localization from Visual Data \nLocalizing images and objects from visual information stands out as one of the most challenging and dynamic topics in computer vision\, owing to its broad applications across different domains. In this talk\, we will introduce and delve into several research directions aimed at advancing solutions to these complex problems. \nSpeaker: Safwan Wshah is an Associate Professor in the Department of Computer Science at the University of Vermont. His research interests encompass the intersection of machine learning theory and application\, with a particular emphasis on geo-localization from visual information. Additionally\, he maintains broader interests in deep learning\, computer vision\, data analytics\, and image processing. \nDon’t Forget \n\nVoxel51 will make a donation on behalf of the Meetup members to the charity that gets the most votes this month.\nCan’t make the date and time? No problem! Just make sure to register here so we can send you links to the playbacks.

SUMMARY:IEWP WordPress Helpdesk
DESCRIPTION:***Please Use Source Link Below to Confirm Event Details***\n  \n\nDetails\n\n\nONLINE ZOOM EVENT \nDo you have a WordPress website and have an issue you need help with? Please bring it to the workshop\, and the Inland Empire WordPress group will do our best to help you through it. IEWP Workshops encourage EVERYONE to attend\, female or male\, old or young\, and all skill/experience levels beginner\, intermediate\, and advanced. \nThose more advanced can help others. We’ll keep the introductions and announcements minimal so you can dive right in and get some help. No question is too basic. We’re here for you! \nWe meet on the 2nd Thursday of every month on Zoom at 7 pm. We look forward to seeing you! \nWhen you RSVP\, we’ll be trying to find enough helpers to help…so if you can’t attend\, let us know sooner rather than later. Thanks! \nFYI: Make sure you have admin access to your WordPress site. If someone else set up your site for you\, make sure they give you admin access. You’ll need it.
