Developing a Webcam Arcade Controller using Deep Learning by TensorFlow & Keras - part 1, Meetup

• Haggai Philip Zagury (hagzag)
• Youtube , Meetup

We will introduce Deep Learning, demo a DL model in action, introduce an architecture for training and use of such model in a production environment, and show some critical sections of the code. Demo - Control video game using Deep Learning (15 min) - by Haim Cohen, Big Data Architect from Tikal. We will demo an application which makes use of deep learning in order to control a video game through webcam and head gestures. Lectures: Deep Learning - Starting Now (20 min) - by Shai Tal, Data Scientist and Machine Learning Engineer from Tikal. Deep learning is a tool. And tools need to be understood. We will briefly discuss the practical benefits of machine learning over programming, and the benefits of deep learning over classic machine learning for building visualisation and NLP models. Deep Learning API’s & Architecture (30 min) by Haim Cohen. We will Introduce TensorFlow & Keras through code examples, go through main parts of the demo application and talk about the architecture of the demo application and other Deep Learning based systems. DevOps Concerns for Deep Learning Systems (30 min) - by Haggai Philip Zagury, DevOps Architect from Tikal.

Cloud Environments and Architectures, such as Serverless and Microservices, and their effective Deployment and Stability of Production have been our main focus, but we are now seeing the developer experience shifting. Forced to combine many subsystems together on our laptops it has become a mirror of the cloud. We used to call this our Integrated development Environment, and we should start treating it as one. In this session, we will take a short tour of many patterns & tools designed to enhance the developer experience. From various integrations augmenting our existing IDE’s to Internal Development Platforms designed as self-service platforms for developers.

A CloudNative Dev Experience 🎯 | Tikal TechRadarCon 2021

Originally posted on the Israeli Tech Radar on medium.

TLDR; Just when we thought we’ve got it figured out! We learn there’s a better, faster way of doing things, frameworks, abstractions, and methodologies invented to make our development experience easier, and help us during our journey to building a platform. But…Do we really need one?/Should we adopt one? What impact will that have on our product? The following post will try to tackle some of these questions as we explore building a better Developer Experience.
