As artificial intelligence (AI) continues to revolutionize industries, leaders must explore the impact AI has on their business strategies and direction. From setting strategic visions for AI adoption to fostering ethical and responsible AI practices, strong leadership is essential for successful AI adoption and implementation. But like any transformational change, some challenges and pitfalls must be overcome to make AI successful. Join in this exploration with Simon Jones from CME group.
Morning: 10:00-10:45 AM
Jason Evans
XR Partners, Boston
Since the introduction of GitHub Copilot, software development has been changed forever by giving developers a powerful tool designed to help them optimize their work through suggested code completions. Now, with GitHub Copilot Chat developers can have interactive conversations with Copilot to better understand and refine the code suggestions. Jason will detail how five innovation-minded companies across diverse sectors are applying optimization techniques.
Morning: 11:00-11:45 AM
Sash Sarangi
EMAlpha, Atlanta
Existing intelligent data processing solutions need to process languages adequately. While English-based smart data processing solutions are available and effective, non-English languages often require more efficient data processing. This language barrier can be a significant hurdle internationally in regions where languages like Indonesian, Arabic, Mandarin Chinese, Malay, French, German, Spanish, Portuguese and many others are spoken and documents are printed and published. Sash Sarangi will go over these issues and more.
Afternoon: 2:00-2;45 PM
John Hookes
BMO, Montreal
Researchers use prompt engineering to improve the capacity of LLMs on a wide range of common and complex tasks such as question answering and arithmetic reasoning. Developers use prompt engineering to design robust and effective prompting techniques that interface with LLMs and other tools. In the rapidly evolving landscape of Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI), organizations are faced with critical decisions on how to invest their resources wisely. This talk introduces a comprehensive framework
Afternoon: 3:00-3;45 PM
Daniel Giveons
Koch Industries, New York
Introduced in Wei et al. (2022), chain-of-thought (CoT) prompting enables complex reasoning capabilities through intermediate reasoning steps. You can combine it with few-shot prompting to get better results on more complex tasks that require reasoning before responding. One recent idea that came out more recently is the idea of zero-shot CoT (Kojima et al. 2022) that essentially involves adding "Let's think step by step" to the original prompt. Let's try a simple problem and see how the model performs. Daniel Giveons is an expert in prompts and he will do an overview in this talk.
Afternoon: 4:00-4;45 PM
Govind Himkar
Rubicon Group, Chicago
Typical MT systems require building separate AI models for each language and each task, but this approach doesn’t scale effectively on Facebook, where people post content in more than 160 languages across billions of posts.
Govind is an expert in ligh AI systems. Facing the dual challenge of enhancing deployment quality without extending regression testing time. The question was how to leverage the existing team's skills to test services layers and develop stable release .
