title="Why Pattern Recognition is Hard, and Why Deep Neural Networks Help">
<short>
<p>
In the last few years, there has been breakthrough progress in pattern
recognition -- problems like computer vision and voice recognition.
This sudden progress has come from a powerful class of models called
deep neural networks.
</p><p>
This talk will explore what it means to do pattern recognition, why it
is a hard problem, and why deep neural networks are so effective. We
will also look at exciting and strange recent results, such as state
of the art object recognition in images, neural nets playing video
games, neural nets proving theorems, and neural nets learning to run
python programs!

title="Machine Learning at Bloomberg">
<short>
<p>
<p>The financial world reacts very quickly to news. We will illustrate some examples that demonstrate this phenomenon and the difficulties involved. We will also show some of the machine learning applications at Bloomberg that are useful in this environment.

<short>
<p>
From the massive supercomputer, to your laptop, to a Raspberry Pi: all
computing systems run on an operating system powered by a kernel. The kernel is
the most fundamental software running on your computer, enabling developers and
users to interact with its hardware at a higher level.
</p>
<p>
This talk will explore the process of writing a minimal kernel from
scratch, common kernel responsibilities, and explore of the challenges of
kernel development.
