A common assumption is that we need significant amounts of data in order to do deep learning. Many companies wanting to adopt AI find themselves stuck in the “data gathering” phase and as a result delaying the use of AI to gain competitive advantage in their business. But how much data is enough? Can we get by with less?

In this talk we will explore the impact on our results when we use different amounts of data to train a classification model. It is actually possible to get by with much less data than we might expect. We will discuss why this might be so, in which particular areas this applies, and how we can use these ideas to improve how we train, deploy and engage end-users in our models.

Everything you ever wanted to know about starting a functional programming conference from scratch and some things you didn't. We'll cover the great times, the stressful times and all of the behind-the-scenes. Learn how we brought people together, how we chose talks and how we managed to create a community atmosphere enjoyed by both beginners and sages alike.

Venture into deep learning with this 2-day workshop that will take you from the mathematical and theoretical foundations to building models and neural networks in TensorFlow. You will apply as you learn, working on exercises throughout the workshop. To enhance learning, a second day is dedicated to applying your new skills in team project work.

This hands-on workshop is ideal for both data science and programming professionals, who are interested in learning the basics of deep learning and embarking on their first project.
