Bengaluru: Bengaluru Analytics Vidhya's third edition of DataHack Summit, India's Largest Conference on Applied Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning will be held from 13 – 16 November 2019 at NIMHANS Convention Centre, Bengaluru. Global AI Leaders, Researchers, Machine Learning Experts, Data Scientists, Analysts and Engineers will be attending the summit to spark discussions on Machine Learning, Artificial Intelligence, Reinforcement Learning, Natural Language Processing, Generative Modeling, Computer Vision, Explainable AI, Cloud Computing, Deep Learning, Transfer Learning, Quantum Computing, and Speech Recognition. There will be a more than 1000 AI & ML professionals will be attending 8 workshops, 30 hack sessions and 70 talks. The conference will witness speakers including Dr. GeethaManjunath (Founder & CEO of NIRAMAI), SayanRanu (IIT Delhi), Dat Tran (Head of AI at Axel Springer Ideas Engineering), UjjyainiMitra (Head of Data, ZEE5), XanderSteenbrugge (Head of applied ML-research at ML6), Prateek Jain (Microsoft), Jayatu Sen Chaudhury (American Express), Nishant Agrawal (Intel), Dr. Vikas Agrawal (Oracle Analytics Cloud), Dr. HarshadKhadilkar (TCS) and 100 more experts sharing their views on the impact of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning. According to Kunal Jain, " Analytics Vidhya's mission is to build next-gen data science ecosystem and with DataHack Summit 2019 – we aim to bring together people, machines and their collaborative experience to make our world data-driven! After the immense success of the DataHack Summit 2018, the Summit has become bigger and will go deeper on the subject. With more than 70 sessions from experts across the globe spread across 4 days – there cannot be a better place to learn about Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning and Deep Learning."

"If intelligence was a cake, unsupervised learning would be the cake, supervised learning would be the icing on the cake, and reinforcement learning would be the cherry on the cake." Reinforcement learning is an intriguing and complex field. We at Analytics Vidhya are strongly behind the incredible potential of this domain and the breakthroughs and research by behemoths like DeepMind support our thought process. Reinforcement learning (RL) has been around for a while now. However, there is a general perception in the community that RL's use cases are limited to computer simulations.

This isn't a movie script or a futuristic scenario – this is all happening right now thanks to the power of Natural Language Processing (NLP)! I honestly feel the number of breakthroughs happening in this field is unparalleled. The past two years have been a blur – the Transformer architecture, introduced in 2017, has truly transformed the NLP space. From the super-efficient ULMFiT framework to Google's BERT, NLP is truly in the midst of a golden era. Are you ready to be part of this revolution?

There's a strong belief that when it comes to working with unstructured data, especially image data, deep learning models are the way forward. Deep learning techniques undoubtedly perform extremely well, but is that the only way to work with images? Not all of us have unlimited resources like the big technology behemoths such as Google and Facebook. So how can we work with image data if not through the lens of deep learning? We can leverage the power of machine learning!

DataHack Summit 2018 was a grand success with more than 1,000 attendees from various diverse industries and domains. Our community loved the content, knowledge sharing, and everything about the event. So what do you do when you scale such heights? Analytics Vidhya's mission to bring together people, machines and their collaborative experience is about to be unleashed to a whole new level. A level that hasn't been seen before.
