First HEL Tech of 2018: Machine Learning

The best way to to get a grasp about HEL Tech is to look into what happened in our last event. Year 2018s first HEL Tech — Machine Learning gathered together around 400 industry specialists, startup entrepreneurs and students interested in machine learning to Clarion Hotel on Monday 5th of February — the result was one of the biggest HEL Tech’s we’ve seen.

The evening was kicked off with two keynotes: Harri Valpola from Curious AI giving insights to AI’s past and future with his 25 years of experience from machine learning, and Jaakko Lehtinen from NVIDIA Research going more into detail about machine learning in computer graphics.

Continuing to the panel discussion about the past, present and the future of machine learning, the stage was taken over by Teemu Kinos from Get Jenny, Mika Rautiainen from Valossa and Timo Rastas from IBM.

The last part of the event consisted of three machine learning startup demos: Valossa, Moprim and Alphablues.
