ML Kit is the SDK that makes machine learning features more straightforward for the mobile developers to incorporate in their apps. Since ML Kit has been made a core ingredient of Firebase ,its robust ML APIs can be implemented seamlessly in both android & IOS apps like it’s any other feature such as analytics, crashlytics etc.
The flexibility provided by ML Kit for mobile developers to use On-device or On-Cloud ML Apis as per the use case is quite significant . In this session we will take deep dive in the different ready to use APIs of ML Kit encapsulating the features of Mobile Vision, Google Cloud Vision API, TensorFlow Lite and Neural Network API.

Gracias a los Cognitive Services ahora podemos añadir inteligencia a nuestras apps de una manera sencilla. La combinación de estos servicios abren un mundo nuevo de posibilidades, por lo que durante esta charla veremos una breve introducción a los distintos servicios para pasar directamente a verlos en acción en aplicaciones y situaciones reales. Se trata de una charla introductoria en la que haremos demos y veremos cómo podemos utilizar estos servicios en nuestro código.
Cognitive Services: Building Smart Apps with Speech, NLP & VisionNick Landry
Your computer can recognize your voice and detect words in a speech dictation, but can it truly understand the meaning of what you are saying? Can it analyze your intent and respond accordingly? You don’t need a PhD in artificial intelligence to integrate speech and natural language understanding in your projects. Microsoft Cognitive Services (aka “Project Oxford”) is a portfolio of cloud-based REST APIs and SDKs powered by Machine Learning which enable developers to write applications which understand the content within the rapidly growing set of multimedia data. Cognitive Services API services will help you understand and interact with audio, text, image, and video. In this session, we’ll start with an overview of available services for speech recognition and speech synthesis. Then we’ll explore through live demos how to leverage the Language Understanding Intelligent Service which lets you determine intent, detect entities in user speech and improve language understanding models to more efficiently work with user data. Lastly, we’ll leverage Computer Vision APIs to detect human faces, analyze the content of images, and perform Optical Character Recognition (OCR) to detect and analyze words within a photo. Come learn how your apps can tap into the same active learning services behind the brain of Cortana, and get started writing smart applications that can understand what your users are saying.

Making Apps More Human - Intro to Microsoft Cognitive ServicesMatthew Soucoup
Part of the human experience is being able to look at a scene and judge what is going on; who/what the participants are, and know if they are happy or sad, frightened or mad. Or recognize a person’s voice and understand a conversation.
But the days where only humans can do that are numbered.
Microsoft Cognitive Services harnesses the power of machine learning and provides a set of 24 APIs that allow for your application to become more human.
In this session, you will see some of the power of Cognitive Services as we demo key features to build an intelligent app. You will learn how to create and invoke them via REST services to make your app more human.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.

Connector Corner: Automate dynamic content and events by pushing a buttonDianaGray10
Here is something new! In our next Connector Corner webinar, we will demonstrate how you can use a single workflow to:
Create a campaign using Mailchimp with merge tags/fields
Send an interactive Slack channel message (using buttons)
Have the message received by managers and peers along with a test email for review
But there’s more:
In a second workflow supporting the same use case, you’ll see:
Your campaign sent to target colleagues for approval
If the “Approve” button is clicked, a Jira/Zendesk ticket is created for the marketing design team
But—if the “Reject” button is pushed, colleagues will be alerted via Slack message
Join us to learn more about this new, human-in-the-loop capability, brought to you by Integration Service connectors.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!
