Emotion Detector or How We Defeated IBM

Time and Space: 26.2.2019, 18:00 – VŠE Žižkov, SB 321

Is artificial intelligence and virtual assistants still a distant future? We invited Honza Tyl to prove otherwise!

“Are you interested in how to teach your computer to understand written text? How we wrote a programme with the capacity of two cockroach brains and defeated IBM with it? How our virtual cockroach navigates the world of the internet and evaluates articles about technology, business, and politics?”

Honza has 13 years of experience as an IT analyst, scrum master, and innovator in AI. By day, he typically works for large corporations, and by night, he stitches together technological startups like Alpha Industries, Perception, Elements, or Kurzy Živě.

Event programme:
▪️ Introduction
▪️ A general introduction to artificial intelligence, laying the groundwork for those unfamiliar with AI, while not offending those who already know a thing or two
▪️ A practical demonstration on one project – the emotion detector. Showcasing what we succeeded in as well as what we messed up
▪️ Open discussion
