Location: 1A 06/07
Nagendra Shishodia (EXL),
Chaithanya Manda (EXL),
Solmaz Torabi (EXL)
Every NLP-based document-processing solution depends on converting scanned documents and images to machine readable text using an OCR solution, limited by the quality of scanned images. Nagendra Shishodia, Chaithanya Manda, and Solmaz Torabi explore how GAN can bring significant efficiencies in any document-processing solution by enhancing resolution and denoising scanned images.

1:15pm–1:55pm Wednesday, September 25, 2019
Location: 1A 12/14
Shioulin Sam (Cloudera Fast Forward Labs)
Supervised machine learning requires large labeled datasets—a prohibitive limitation in many real world applications. But this could be avoided if machines could earn with a few labeled examples. Shioulin Sam explores and demonstrates an algorithmic solution that relies on collaboration between human and machine to label smartly, and she outlines product possibilities.

Location: 1A 06/07
Keshav Peswani (Expedia Group),
Ashish Aggarwal (Expedia Group)
Observability is the key in modern architecture to quickly detect and repair problems in microservices. Modern observability platforms have evolved beyond simple application logs and include distributed tracing systems like Zipkin and Haystack. Keshav Peswani and Ashish Aggarwal explore how combining them with real-time, intelligent alerting mechanisms helps in the automated detection of problems.

Tony Xing (Microsoft),
Congrui Huang (Microsoft),
Qiyang Li (Microsoft),
Wenyi Yang (Microsoft)
Anomaly detection may sound old fashioned, yet it's super important in many industry applications. Tony Xing, Congrui Huang, Qiyang Li, and Wenyi Yang detail a novel anomaly-detection algorithm based on spectral residual (SR) and convolutional neural network (CNN) and how this method was applied in the monitoring system supporting Microsoft AIOps and business incident prevention.

Location: 1A 06/07
Nick Pentreath (IBM)
The common perception of deep learning is that it results in a fully self-contained model. However, in most cases, these models have similar requirements for data preprocessing as does more "traditional" machine learning. Despite this, there are few standard solutions for deploying end-to-end deep learning. Nick Pentreath explores how the ONNX format and ecosystem addresses this challenge.

1:15pm–1:55pm Thursday, September 26, 2019
Location: 3B - Expo Hall
Victor Dibia (Cloudera Fast Forward Labs)
Recent advances in machine learning frameworks for the browser such as TensorFlow provides the opportunity to craft truly novel experiences within frontend applications. Victor Dibia explores the state of the art for machine learning in the browser using TensorFlow and outlines its use in the design of Handtrack.js—a library for prototyping real-time hand detection in the browser.

Ryan Foltz (Exabeam)
Unmanaged and foreign devices in the corporate networks pose a security risk, and the first step toward reducing this risk is the ability to identify them. Ryan Foltz walks you through a comprehensive device management machine learning model based on deep learning that performs anomaly detection based on only device names to flag devices that do not follow naming structures.
