How to run your application on cloud is one of most challenging tasks in the full development cycle. With the latest serverless technology, we can deploy our application easily on cloud, with much more affordable cost, but with more server processing power. This talk will also discuss on how to archive asynchronous function call on…

MySQL 8.0 introduced the MySQL Document Store, allowing developers to work with SQL relational tables and schema-less JSON collections through the use of the X DevAPI. Join us to better understand how MySQL Connector/Python implements and makes use of the X DevAPI along with a quick demo showcasing its most relevant features. Additionally, concepts such…

This talk would cover all about the development sprint which has been hidden weapon of Python community that helps us to have a healthy ecosystem. In this talk, I’ll show the history of development sprint, how it helps us become a strong and diverse community, and how can you host your own development sprint along…

The recent trends in distributed Deep Learning and how distributed system can both massively reduce training time and enable parallelisation. I will introduce different distributed deep learning paradigms, including model-level parallelism and data-level parallelism, and demonstrate how data parallelism can be used for distributed training.In next iteration phase of deep learning there will be need…

In this talk I will demonstrate how to create Artificial Life in a computer using Python and its wonderful libraries. The Python program, called “Lenia”, is developed to discover/evolve new life species, using its interactive UI to facilitate Evolutionary Algorithms (EA). A video recorded from the program won the Virtual Creatures Contest in GECCO conference…

Do you know that Slack knows that Integration and API are easy to use and are hackable collaboration platform? Even Python is able to easily make chatbot by using slackbot ( https://github.com/lins05/slackbot ) . With using this framework, you are able to let slackbot perform a Python process triggered by a mention or a keyword…

Part 1 – Digitizing documents with powerful python libraries So.. in the digital era you suddenly realise that until very recently not all valuable information kept is/was machine friendly, there are tons of word and pdf documents with reports, meetings minutes, contracts and so-on waiting to be re-discovered. With python libraries PdfMiner, PyPDF2 among others,…

Introduction of super resolution with deep learning techniques. Super resolution is a technique which serve low- resolution image as input and outputs high-resolution images. How to preserve edges and restore detail information in the high-resolution image is very important. In this talk, we will discuss the developments of super resolution, especially methods using deep learning…
