The Deep Learning Summit London and the Virtual Assistant Summit London will be kicking off the RE•WORK Global Summit Series this September 21 & 22. This two track event will bring together the next generation in predictive and artificial intelligence, showcasing the most recent breakthrough technologies and research. Early Bird tickets are currently on sale and are available until 28th July. This event will be very popular and will sell out. Register now to guarantee place. We are excited to announce the attendance of the ‘world leader in artificial intelligence research and its application for positive impact’, Google DeepMind. Back in 2010 some of the most successful technology minds in the world founded DeepMind which was then acquired by Google in 2014.

As a society, we are increasingly focused on health and wellbeing with influences from the media and influencial professions ever present. This has prompted a huge rise in wearable technologies as a method of keeping track of elements such as activity level and calorie intake. With their built in reminders and personalised features, products such as the Apple Watch, FitBit, and Garmin have opened a new market for technology and fitness.
Fitness apps compatible with the hardware are ever popular, and seemingly being rolled out in abundance. But what makes these fitness products stand out? And how are you supposed to stick to your chosen platform once you’ve signed up?

Whilst the term ‘augmented reality’ (AR) was coined in the 90s by Boeing researcher Tom Caudell, it’s emergence in customer facing products is still relatively new. Over the past year, numerous smartphone apps have released AR features - think Pokemon Go, Snapchat, and other similar games. These apps allow you to layer a virtual world on top of the real world in front of you. Researchers are currently moving towards embedding AR in everyday life. Whilst the Google Glass didn't receive the acclaim that had been hoped, the technology is there and the ability to disrupt and enhance the world around us with augmented additions is approaching.
With a practical application of AR, L’Oreal have created an app that allows customers to take photographs of themselves and ‘try on’ different products to assess whether they’d be interested in purchasing them.

The question of whether technology will improve or further disrupt urban traffic remains, and will so until driverless cars are in mainstream operation, but autonomous vehicle testing and intelligence is rapidly advancing. Ahead of our Machine Intelligence in Autonomous Vehicle Summit in Amsterdam 28 & 29 June, we’re taking a look at the most recent breakthroughs and news in this space.
Currently, all self-drive cars in testing are required to have a human backup driver in case of emergencies, but Delphi and Transdev have revealed that they are planning to use autonomous taxis and shuttles to carry passengers on roads in France.

In many different web services, machine learning is being used for recommendation systems that help users tackle information overload: there are simply too many movies, songs, and books for users to usefully browse through. Without such tools, some services are rapidly falling behind and losing customers. Neal Lathia, Senior Data Scientist at Skyscanner, shares expertise on how to bootstrap a destination recommender system.
