Deep learning in Java

Featuring Dave Snowdon

This evening we’ll start with a brief introduction to deep neural networks and how they work, and show how you can define them using python (the language used by most people in the deep learning community). Then we’ll look at using the tensorflow Java API and deeplearning4j to see how to build...

London Java Community

Featuring Dave Snowdon

With cheap cameras becoming ubiquitous the camera has become probably the most important sensor for many applications.

However extracting usable information from the images produced by cameras is non-trivial. There have been many published successes in recent years using deep learning...

This session will consist of three 15-minute talks by Ernestas Lisauskas, David Humphreys, and Dave Snowdon.

Seeing With Clojure

Featuring Dave Snowdon

OpenCV is a comprehensive open source library of optimised image processing routines. It's traditionally been used via C++ and python. However there is now a java binding available which makes it possible to take advantage of OpenCV from clojure. In this talk I'll show how it's...

A robot control DSL in clojure

Featuring Dave Snowdon

Describing the motions of a robot with many degrees of freedom (joints) can be quite tedious. One approach is to represent the value of each joint on a time-lime (similar to a Flash animation). This approach has the disadvantage the the resulting animations are entirely static and cannot react to...

How replacing callbacks with core.async can make even robots get emotional

Featuring Dave Snowdon

A lot of the attention on core.async has focussed on its use for web front-ends with clojurescript. This talk will present a clojure application running on the JVM that demonstrates how a 3rd-party framework can be adapted to work with a core.async application in order to control a NAO humanoid...
