development as well. Such models can then be used to predict which content will be an
effective learning experience for a given learner.
Socos is a cutting-edge EdTech company which applies cognitive modelling to align
education with real life outcomes. At the Deep Learning Summit, Vivienne Ming, co-Founder
and Managing Partner of Socos, will discuss the concept of continuous passive predictive
assessment, applied to both learners and professionals, from students to CEOs.
Machine Learning & Augmented Reality
Dr. Jrgen Sturm heads the machine learning efforts at Metaio GmbH, the world-leading
Augmented Reality technology provider. He and his team research deep learning
techniques such as random forests to track and augment the human body on camera
images. The goal of Metaios machine learning efforts is to create immersive virtual
shopping experiences, where customers can directly check out a new products without the
need of the real physical item.
Human-Computer Interaction
The promises of deep learning have permeated all branches of computer cognition
including spoken language understanding. During the past decade we have witnessed
tremendous progress, yet talking to machines is still perceived as a brittle technology. This
is, more than ever, a big-data learning problem, and whoever has access to huge amounts
of speech data can approach the challenge. This is the reason why, the industryas
opposed to academia has led the past decade of successes in speech recognition and
natural language understanding. Are Siri, Cortana and Googles voice assistants pushing
these technologies from a toy towards usable, useful, and pervasive applications? What
problems still need to be solved?
Roberto Pieraccini, Director of Advanced Conversational Technologies at Jibo, is a world
recognized expert in the fields of speech recognition, natural language, dialog, and humanmachine multi-modal interaction. At the Deep Learning Summit, Roberto will lead a talk on
spoken language technology, discussing how computers are learning to understand
humans.
Facial Recognition & Expression Analysis
Previous state of the art approaches to facial expression recognition relied on handcrafted
feature extraction and computer vision pipelines optimized for runtime speed and accuracy
on relatively small datasets. Using specialized deep learning architectures trained on much
larger datasets, Emotient have significantly improved accuracy over our previous academic
and commercial efforts, even when both types of systems are trained on the same data.
The potential for this technology is far-reaching, across fields of healthcare, education,
advertising, and retail.
Dr. Joshua Susskind is co-Founder and Senior Data Scientist at Emotient, a start-up
company focused on real-time perception of facial expressions from images and videos,
where he develops algorithms and visualization techniques for understanding human
behaviour. Marian Bartlett, co-Founder and Lead Scientist at Emotient, is a pioneer in the
field of machine learning and computer vision for face analysis. She and her colleagues
developed software that automatically detects facial expressions of the seven primary
emotions, as well as individual facial muscle movements.
