What did you miss from Google Brain, Deep Genomics, Microsoft & more? Q: What is something you wish you knew when you were younger? A: In 1986 I wish I knew this stuff was going to work! There were so many people who said it was nonsense. I wish I could have told them, you wait, but that would have been a stupid thing to say, because it seemed impossible. What I wish I knew now, is whether the brain uses back propagation!

Building on the 2017 Montreal event, attendees from over 20 countries came to learn from industry experts in speech & pattern recognition, neural networks, image analysis and NLP and explored how deep learning will impact all industries through interactive workshops, interviews, presentations, networking and more. PRESENTATION HIGHLIGHTS We’ve come so far, but there are still challenges - for example, when we layer images systems get really confused. That’s not something that would confuse humans, and these systems are supposed to be superhuman. David Cox, IBM We ask people to give us their best ideas both inside and outside of government - we received 15,000 surveys and 26,000 ideas about how technology can help transform government. This is exciting for us - we have an opportunity in the digital age to transform government. MPP Hon. Peter Bethlenfavly, Treasury Board Secretariat of Ontario When you’re on a plane and you hear ‘there’s a technical difficulty’, the pilot will be having a more technical discourse, and the ground staff may be having an even more nuanced discussion. Does this mean that the interpretability should be the same across all parties? Probably not, we don’t want to panic the passengers with an overly technical explanation. Sara Hooker, Google Brain https://www.re-work.co/blog/hear-from-ai-experts-what-did-you-miss-from-geoffrey-hinton-sara-hooker-shane-gu-and-more?utm_source=RE%E2%80%A2WORK&utm_campaign=65e5fe5e1a-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2018_10_17_04_24&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_81470d1b13-65e5fe5e1a-73549197 WORKSHOP HIGHLIGHTS Building Scalable Machine Learning Architectures - CBC The CBC has the 3rd most traffic on mobile and 8th on web in Canada. In the event of a major news story, in a matter of seconds, traffic can spike 10x. During this workshop, Jason shared the CBC's unique approach to deploying scalable machine learning models, from the ingestion API, ETL, storage, training of models, to surfacing recommendations to millions of Canadians. >From Raw Data to Actionable Clinical Insights, National Healthcare, Microsoft Canada The end-to-end analysis of large-scale genomics data is complex and expensive. The workshop explained how Microsoft and the Databricks Unified Analytics Platform for Genomics simplify the process of turning raw sequencing data into actionable insights. "When you identify what part of the genome is responsible, you can come up with a treatment or prevention." Challenges & Opportunities of Investing in AI - VC Panel, Q&A & Networking Session "The most difficult part of fundraising for a start-up is finding that investor to put the first cheque into it" - Saroop Bharwani "If there's a data set out there available, somebody will be using it." - Jim Orlando What Did You Miss?

It's great to understand the work here the Canadian Government and seeing how it’s different from the UK. Interactive workshops are fun too.’ Darrick Wiebe, Untether AI 'I thoroughly enjoyed Sara Hooker’s presentation on interpretability, it engaged the audience well. We’re working on a processor and I’m on the software side, so I’m most excited for networking and hearing what everyone else is working on, as well as the presentations - the lineup is great.’ WOMEN IN AI DINNER Deep learning in healthcare, AI for financial solutions, chatbots to help children with disabilities. These were just a few of the topics that this week's guests at the Women in AI Dinner (https://www.re-work.co/blog/women-in-ai-dinner-toronto-highlights?utm_source=RE%E2%80%A2WORK&utm_campaign=65e5fe5e1a-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2018_10_17_04_24&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_81470d1b13-65e5fe5e1a-73549197) are working on. "There’s room for more women in AI, we’d all agree, and everyone in this room agrees. I’m here to learn from everyone in this room, and I hope we can all learn from each other." Alison Paprica, Vector Institute Due to popular demand, RE•WORK are returning to Montreal this winter to celebrate influential women working in AI. This evening is open to all genders and will be an evening of discussions & networking around the progress and application of artificial intelligence.
