WORKSHOPS

Build and optimize your first AI model

Combine hardware and software optimization for AI in one day

Beginner Setup Session

Intermediate AI Session

Machine learning is hard and it’s even harder to get deployment right on hardware. What if you could turn your everyday laptop into an AI powerhouse by downloading just a few toolkits? In this workshop, you will learn some of the hidden magic behind building and deploying AI models that actually work efficiently and quickly.  All on hardware you can buy off-the-shelf.

Get a behind-the-scenes look at optimization techniques (NNCF, and POT), hardware instruction sets, and the libraries and toolkit you need to get the ultimate performance. See how to accelerate your models on modern hardware including Intel iGPUs.

You'll learn how to:

You'll learn how to:

>>

Train & optimize with techniques like Neural Network Compression Frameworks and Post Training Optimization tools to greatly improve the performance of your model

>>

Train a model like ResNET from scratch with PyTorch or Tensorflow (with use cases)

>>

>>

Setup your machine  with Jupyter Notebooks

Maximize hardware performance with hardware instruction sets such as AVX-512 VNNI, bfloat16 format, XMX, and AMX extensions

>>

Convert & optimize models with OpenVINO to run on Intel hardware

>>

Use OpenVINO'S plugins (CPU, GPU, Auto) to deploy models on different hardware architectures

Raymond Lo

AI Software Evangelist at Intel

Raymond Lo is the global lead of the Intel AI evangelist team focusing on the OpenVINO™ toolkit. Previously, Raymond was the founder and CTO of Y Combinator-backed augmented reality company Meta, the technology evangelist for Samsung NEXT, and Technical Solutions Consultant for Google Cloud AI.

During his PhD, Raymond worked with Prof Steve Mann, who is widely recognized as the father of wearable computing from MIT Media Lab. Together they published numerous of research papers on the topic of GPGPUs, open-source HDR videos, and open-source wearable computing projects in the University of Toronto. 

In 2013, Raymond took his augmented reality (AR) eyeglasses invention and functional prototype from Toronto and co-founded Meta. As the CTO of Meta, he successfully developed and shipped Meta 1 and Meta 2 with a team of over 150+ people. As the executive and evangelist, he had the opportunity to speak at conferences such as TED talk, SIGGRAPH, Tencent WE Summit, and Hello Tomorrow. Raymond's unique combination of startup entrepreneurship and enterprise experiences helped him to create connections to hundreds of startups and thousands of developers around the world.

5 PM // Happy Hour + Intro

Join us for food and drinks before the event. The first 45 minutes of each event will include an opportunity for you to network and connect with other event attendees and the Intel and HackerDojo teams. There will be free beer, selzers and snacks for you to enjoy while you mingle.

6:15 PM // Hands-On Workshops

Whether you're just getting started or have been developing AI apps for some time, join us for a workshop and learn how you can optimize your AI models.

September 8 & 15:

Build and optimize your first AI Model

September 29:

Combine hardware and software optimization for AI in one day

7:45 PM // Giveaways

We've got lots of fun gifts like backpacks, t-shirts, hoodies and hardware we'll be giving away throughout the night.  We'll have 25 swag bags up for grabs, plus a few bigger items that will be handed out toward the end of each event!
