Training – Introduction to Artificial Intelligence using the Microsoft Cognitive Services and OpenCV (IOT208)

Artificial intelligence (AI) is an area of computer science that emphasizes the creation of intelligent machines that work and react like humans. AI is all the rage these days. However, unless you have a PhD in AI, AI programming remains an elusive field to many developers. But this should not be the case. What most developers want is the ability to integrate AI capabilities into their applications, without knowing the nuts and bolts of how AI works.  The Microsoft Cognitive Services is a suite of AI services and APIs to help developers integrate AI capabilities into their applications without needing to build the AI services from scratch. Developers simply need to choose the relevant algorithms from the Cognitive Services for their needs and requirements. Using the various services, applications can:

  • Make smart recommendations
  • Perform speech translations
  • Use machine vision to recognise users and emotions

In addition, this course will also cover an introduction to OpenCV. Using OpenCV, you will learn how to detect faces in an image. You will also be able to trainer machine learning models to recognize faces.

  • Roman Shumkov from Intexsys will give a talk “Continuous Delivery Pipeline at High Scale”
    Lessons learned from implementing Continuous Delivery Pipeline using PHP, Symfony2, Behat, PhantomJS, Deployer, Docker and Bamboo.
    Some highlights:
    – Build Automation with 30+ hours of build time per day
    – Continuous Integration with 500+ hours of testing time per day
    – Horizontal Scalability
    – 20-30 minutes for code changes to be built, tested and delivered to production

    (Language — Russian)

  • Dmitry Buzdin from Riga DevDays will give a talk “Continuous Testing at Scale”
    With the raise of Continuous Delivery test automation is becoming a norm rather than luxury. However, when dealing with high-complexity, large and modular projects you would be disappointed to learn that it is a challenge to set-up a fully automated continuous testing pipeline. The problems you are encountering are tool incompatibility and general lack of suitable solutions to scale out test automation processes. Imagine tens of thousands of automated test cases, which are required to be run for a product to be fully tested.
    During this talk Dmitry will answer the following questions:
    – How do you run your automated tests in a shortest time frame possible?
    – How do you know if your functional test coverage is improving?
    – How do you select and run the most appropriate test cases?
    – How do you get actionable insight from your testing process results?
    – How do you know if it is safe to release software package to production?
    This presentation will guide you though a journey of building and improving test automation pipeline based on Jenkins in a large telco organisation with hundreds of thousands test executions performed on daily basis. By looking at this example it would possible to see what tools are missing at the market currently and where test automation industry should focus efforts next. The talk will outline examples of micro services developed to fill the functional gaps. This experience would be beneficial and applicable in your next large-scale CD project.
