Abstract: Discover how OpenAI’s “evals” framework enables targeted fine-tuning of ChatGPT across diverse domains. Using geospatial tasks such as automated map change as an example, this workshop will equip you with the skills to align ChatGPT for superior performance in any specialized task.

Abstract: This workshop delves into leveraging Function Calling—a powerful feature of OpenAI models such as GPT-4 and GPT-3.5 Turbo—to facilitate natural conversations with our data. Participants will explore the immense potential of connecting GPT models with live data by programmatically interacting with them, gaining insights into triggering custom operations on our end. Throughout the session, attendees will understand how to integrate OpenAI models into data workflows and obtain data-driven insights. We will imagine a data store and show how we can obtain complex information by asking for it in plain English.

Abstract:A technical presentation from Dyson’s New Product Innovation Software Team (NST) on tools and practices involved in developing high-tech prototypes using cutting-edge embedded systems technology, with a ‘hands on’ example application using Machine Learning.

Knowledge:
Working programming knowledge is expected, preferably Python
No Machine Learning experience required

Tools:
Laptop with built-in camera (webcam)
Project dependencies installed (Python 3 and specified libraries e.g. TensorFlow, OpenCV) *these requirements could be provided some time before workshop

Abstract: Git is the de facto standard for moving code between developers and computers alike. Every programmer learns it, and applications and tools integrate with it. But have we actually reached peak version control? Git was first designed for a workflow very different from what developers use today, and has changed very little since its inception. In this talk, Kiril will discuss iterating on the very tool we as developers use for iterating — our version control.

Abstract: In the age of universal high-speed internet, traditional business norms are rapidly becoming outdated. This presentation explores the transformative potential of revisiting first principles, challenging ingrained business lessons. With global connectivity, we delve into reimagining everything, from product development to the very structure of the workplace. Join us in unlocking the power to shape a visionary future by embracing the tools of the digital age and implementing innovative strategies.

Abstract: This talk attempts to look at the state of Smart Home at the turn of the decade before addressing the shift towards a ubiquitous protocol called Matter. It attempts to educate the listener as to how this protocol came to be, how it is used and how it works technically to achieve its goal. The talk then goes on to address how I became a contributor to Matter, the work that was carried out and the challenges we faced while working on it, touching on such things as company cultures, working with open source, imposter syndrome, the strength of communities and more.
