This month’s meetup, on March 18th, will start with two inspiring presentations by Dr. Zigfried Hampel and Hao He. Dr. Hampel, an Insight AI fellow and data scientist at In-Q-Tel, will present his recent work with GANs and address a fundamental question: What artificial fingerprints do GANs leave behind? Hao, an Insight and Fastai fellow, will share his deep learning journey, from a fast.ai novice DL practitioner to winning his first Kaggle silver medal. He will share insights for EDA and preprocessing Kaggle data, model architecture search, ensemble modeling, as well as some Fastai tricks that helped him win the APTOS competition.

This month’s workshop is super hands-on where you get to build a vision emotion classifier with W&B hyperparameter sweeps; it is presented by Weights & Biases founder and CEO, Lukas Biewald.
