Adelaide Artificial Intelligence – 18 November '20 (Virtual)
We are thrilled to announce our next virtual Adelaide AI Meetup. Join us on Wednesday 18th November 2020 at 12.30pm (ACDT) for a live webinar with two fantastic speakers talking about Artificial Intelligence, Internet of Things (IoT) and processing AI on the edge.
From the USA, Komal Devjani joins us from alwaysAI – an easy-to-use platform for building and deploying deep learning computer vision applications on embedded devices. From Adelaide, Michelle Howie joins us from Telstra – Australia's leading telecommunications and technology company.
Komal’s talk will provide a high-level explanation of computer vision, use cases of computer vision applications and how to deploy computer vision on edge devices using alwaysAI. Michelle will talk about The Internet of Things (IoT) and how connecting billions of devices to the network promises a tsunami of data across all industry verticals (especially useful for AI-based solutions). Michelle will take us through the LPWAN (Low Power) and 5G (high performance) IoT networks, as well as the industry specific APIs that will make it easier to access, control and manage those data insights.
JOIN THE ADELAIDE ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE MEETUP.

Co-investment by the State Government and the University of Adelaide saw the concept of Australia’s first institute dedicated to research in machine learning finally come to fruition. In early 2018, the Australian Institute for Machine Learning (AIML) was officially established. Although a new Institute by name, AIML was formed from the Australian Centre for Visual Technologies (ACVT), a group with a long history of delivering high-impact fundamental and applied research. The AIML's world-class research strengths lie in machine learning and the methods that support this; artificial intelligence, computer vision and deep learning.
