Reverse engineering your AI prototype and the road to reproducibility
Implementing AI
 Location: Yosemite BC
Secondary topics:  Deep Learning models, Platforms and infrastructure
Brian Dalessandro (Capital One), Chris Smith (Zocdoc)
With the help of better software, cloud infrastructure, and pretrained networks, AI models have become easier to build. But once your solution veers from a common path, hidden challenges in reproducibility and implementation arise. Brian Dalessandro and Chris Smith share their experience and lessons learned while building a computer vision and OCR app for reading and classifying insurance cards. Read more.
