O'Reilly Artificial Intelligence Conference in New York 2017

The O'Reilly Artificial Intelligence Conference call for speakers is open Underneath all the AI hype, real breakthroughs are happening--and obstacles to applied AI are being overcome--allowing AI developers to create software that doesn't just do what it's told, but has the ability to anticipate the needs of its users through a combination of pattern recognition, knowledge, planning, and reasoning. Enterprise bots are emerging to participate in conversations and carry out repetitive tasks. Deep learning toolkits are becoming essential tools for software engineers and data scientists. Frameworks are being developed that promise point-and-click development of intelligent conversational interfaces to relatively unsophisticated developers. There is a growing--and urgent--need for information on applied AI, as opposed to the kind of research presented at academic conferences.
