The future of AI is now - Transformations in Vision and Language Processing

Length: 60 minutes

Room: Room 3

Abstract

What can Artificial Intelligence achieve today? In this lecture, we will show numerous live examples to point out whether the term is an overhyped buzzword or the key technology of our digital future. The TNG Innovation Hacking Team has been working on numerous AI projects in the field of computer vision and natural language processing for years. Thomas Endres, Martin Förtsch and Jonas Mayer take you on a journey through the world of Artificial Intelligence and its architecture. Based on various innovation projects, the speakers will illuminate the basic structure of the underlying neural networks, but also their limitations. A firework of live demonstrations and showcases completes the entertaining experience. There will be neural networks creating art, deep fakes in real time, an NLP chatbot, and an AI that can generate social media comments.

• Thomas Endres

  In his role as a Partner for TNG Technology Consulting in Munich, Thomas Endres works as an IT consultant. Besides his normal work for the company and the customers he is creating various prototypes - like a telepresence robotics system with which you can see reality through the eyes of a robot, or an Augmented Reality AI that shows the world from the perspective of an artist. He is working on various applications in the fields of AR/VR, AI and gesture control, putting them to use e.g. in autonomous or gesture controlled drones. But he is also involved in other Open Source projects written in Java, C# and all kinds of JavaScript languages. Thomas studied IT at the TU Munich and is passionate about software development and all the other aspects of technology. As an Intel Software Innovator and Black Belt, he is promoting new technologies like AI, AR/VR and robotics around the world. For this he received amongst others a JavaOne Rockstar award.
