This document discusses gesture recognition technology. It begins with an overview of current gesture recognition devices and the hardware they use like depth cameras. It then discusses the challenges of localizing hands in images, recovering the coordinates of joints, and reconstructing the hand skeleton. The document outlines three main tasks: localization, regression of joint coordinates using convolutional neural networks, and skeleton inference to find the hand pose. The goal is to enable accurate and real-time gesture recognition using standard equipment.
Tele-immersion is a technology that will be implemented with internet. it will enable users in different geographic locations to come together and interact in a simulated holographic environment.
Users will feel as if they are actually looking, talking and meeting with each other face to face in the same place, even though they may be miles apart physically.

Talk delivered at Free and Open Source Software for Geo North America 2019 (FOSS4GNA)
Large scale solar arrays or farms have been installed globally faster than can be reliably tracked by interested stakeholders. We have built a deep learning model with Sentinel 2 satellite imagery that allows us to create accurate, timely global maps of solar farms.

Ryad B. Benosman, Professor at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center, Carnegie Mellon University and Sorbonne Universitas, presents the "What is Neuromorphic Event-based Computer Vision? Sensors, Theory and Applications" tutorial at the May 2018 Embedded Vision Summit.
In this presentation, Benosman introduces neuromorphic, event-based approaches for image sensing and processing. State-of-the-art image sensors suffer from severe limitations imposed by their very principle of operation. These sensors acquire the visual information as a series of “snapshots” recorded at discrete point in time, hence time-quantized at a predetermined frame rate, resulting in limited temporal resolution, low dynamic range and a high degree of redundancy in the acquired data. Nature suggests a different approach: Biological vision systems are driven and controlled by events happening within the scene in view, and not – like conventional image sensors – by artificially created timing and control signals that have no relation to the source of the visual information.
Translating the frameless paradigm of biological vision to artificial imaging systems implies that control over the acquisition of visual information is no longer imposed externally on an array of pixels but rather the decision making is transferred to each individual pixel, which handles its own information individually. Benosman introduces the fundamentals underlying such bio-inspired, event-based image sensing and processing approaches, and explores their strengths and weaknesses. He shows that bio-inspired vision systems have the potential to outperform conventional, frame-based vision acquisition and processing systems and to establish new benchmarks in terms of data compression, dynamic range, temporal resolution and power efficiency in applications such as 3D vision, object tracking, motor control and visual feedback loops, in real-time.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.
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.

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.
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.
