Anthill Inside and The Fifth Elephant go beyond talks and workshops. What’s the fun in attending events if you can’t find your own groups there?

This year, Anthill Inside has a few exciting discussions lined up for you to participate. Engage in discussions with like minded people, champion your causes or simply just chat with fellow attendees on the problems you faced and novel solutions implemented.

With the advent of AI and consequently the concerns about privacy and data security, companies have been forced to follow standards and frameworks for safeguarding user data. Suchana Seth, Jyoti Pandey and Chris Stuccio will lead a discussion on AI — ethics and privacy.

Vijay Gabale, CTO and Co-Founder of Infilect Technologies will lead a discussion on AI and product. Vijay will enunciate on the developments in cloud and hardware platforms for AI and how these newly solved problems can be leveraged to build AI products.

If AI, ML and other buzzwords seem too glamorous, Anuj Gupta and Subir Mansukhani will capture the ground realities in AI engineering. Termed Hubs and Spokes of AI, this session will see discussions on data acquisition, training, reusing models and real world deployments.

With an interesting mix of talks, discussions, workshops and opportunities to network with the best in the industry, Anthill Inside and The Fifth Elephant this year are power packed to make sure you have the best experience over three days.

Michelangelo and data visualisation at Uber

The folks from Uber Engineering and the Advanced Technology Group (ATG) will be at The Fifth Elephant this year talking about the advancements in developing technologies that create seamless, impactful experiences for customers.

The teams use Machine Learning for this process and and have built a ML-as-a-service platform that democratizes machine learning and makes scaling AI easy.

Attend Achal Shah’s talk at The Fifth Elephant on Michelangelo: Uber’s machine learning platform. The team has a blog post outlining some of the development process and the rationale behind developing such a tool. If you’re interested in reading more about Michelangelo, check out the post on Uber Engineering’s blog.

Meanwhile, the folks at Uber’s Advanced Technologies Group (ATG) are working on shaping the future of driverless transportation. The team has built a web visualisation platform which enables engineers and operators across ATG to work with data collected from offline and online testing. Xiaoji Chen’s talk on visualising autonomous vehicle data on the web is a must-attend if you’re enthusiastic about self driving cars and what goes on behind-the-scenes when analyzing data from a self driving car.
