Artificial Intelligence is Already Transforming Your Life & Workplace: Find out more at the Machine Intelligence Summit in Amsterdam this June.

Autonomous vehicles, manufacturing, retail, robotics and healthcare are just some of the many fields where artificial intelligence is currently being applied. Hear from representatives of the German Research Institute of Artificial Intelligence (DFKI), Skyscanner, University of Amsterdam and many more at the summit.         

How close are artificial intelligence systems to human-level intelligence? Recent advances in machine learning and deep learning make artificial intelligence ever more commonplace in our daily lives, often in previously unimaginable ways. This poses numerous questions about impact and timescales, as well as potential positive effects on our environment. The RE•WORK Machine Intelligence Summit, taking place on 28-29 June 2017 in Amsterdam, will explore these impacts in depth.

Robots are goal orientated in nature and thus perceive their environment as such. In order to achieve goals based in cognition, robots not only need to map their environment but also discern semantics. At the summit, Tijmen Blankevoort, co-founder and CTO of Scyfer, will discuss the application of AI to business.  He advises multinationals and other companies in the Netherlands on Machine Learning, Artificial Intelligence and its practical applications.

However, Roland Vollgraf, Research Lead from Zalando Research, applies mapping in a very different way. Zalando uses Fashion DNA: a structural feature mapping of fashion articles. Every article can be described in relative similarity; and thus has its own well-defined location in an abstract space. Fashion DNA processes product images, textual descriptions, vendor product attributes, or combinations thereof, through deep neural networks to create a unique coordinate vector. Articles, even those not yet designed, can be identified, and styles can be described formally; potentially changing how the retail and design industry will sell and market their goods.

Another industry currently being revolutionized by advances in machine learning is the automotive sector. At the concurrent Autonomous Vehicle Track, Pablo Puente Guillen, Researcher ADAS from Toyota Motor Europe, will speak about the current safety needs and potential of highly automated vehicles (HAV) and the challenges to effectively assess the safety impact of HAV. He will explore the human factors, interactions with other road users and impact assessments as well as many other aspects to take into consideration.

Additionally, The NVIDIA Deep Learning Institute will be providing a hands-on training workshop for developers, data scientists, and engineers. The program is designed to help you get started with training, optimising, and deploying neural networks to solve real-world problems across diverse industries such as self-driving cars, healthcare, online services, and robotics.

Learn more at the Machine Intelligence Summit and Machine Intelligence in Autonomous Vehicle Summit in Amsterdam. There will be more than 50 extraordinary speakers across both tracks. Hear from representatives of the German Research Institute of Artificial Intelligence (DFKI), L’Oreal, Lyst, Skyscanner, TomTom, University of Amsterdam and many more at the summit. Topics covered include Drones, Robotics, Pattern Recognition, Vehicle-to-Vehicle Communication, Natural Language Processing, AI in Security Systems, and Industrial Automation.
