Partner workshops
13.00 How to design a Data Factory and How to Make the most of it! Workshop with CGit (60 mins, meeting link below)
How do you optimize utilization? How do you decide who gets to use the valuable GPUs that your organization has invested in? What projects gets the most resources?
Scheduling, Orchestration and User Management are very important factors when you want to get the most possible efficiency and value out of a GPU-based infrastructure that is specialized for AI development. Simon Janeck will present, and demo, our new scheduler that is purpose-built for Deep Learning jobs in GPU-based environments: AiQu.

14:15 Individual, incremental learning at the edge - Workshop with Ekkono Solutions (60 min, register here)
So you say we need a lot of data? That we have to collect from thousands of devices, for years, to have statistical data, which will require a cloud platform to process all that data? We disagree! At least when it comes to leveraging the true potential of IoT – automation. Let us show you how you can get instant, real-time insights from learning the normal behaviour of an individual unit, to detect when something deviates. Individual, incremental learning at the edge enables personalized predictive maintenance, auto-installation, self-optimization and much more.
Join this 60 min deep dive into the state of the art technology “edge machine learning”. Jon Lindén and Linn Sidahl from Ekkono Solutions will give you an overview of the IoT and IIoT industry of today, from real, industrial use case experiences. Jan Bosch, Professor of Software Engineering at Chalmers University of Technology, will join the workshop and share his perspective on this and different and complementary approaches where edge + batch learning can be the first step to insights and validation of later conclusions.
This deep dive will focus on the benefits and opportunities of edge machine learning!
15.30 Keeping up with the Red Queen - Industrialising and transforming Data Science scope and scale. Workshop with HPE (45 min, register here)
In this presentation Doug Cacket, CTO at HPE EMEA, will look at why Data Science Transformation is so instrumental in any successful Digital Transformation journey, and how a combination of an “Enterprise Class” platform and composable tooling can be leveraged to drive productivity and deliver the outcomes you’re looking for with the skills you already have today.

Wednesday 5 May, 8.30-10.30: The data revolution
The buzzword data has been on everyone’s lips for quite a while now - but how do we become truly data-driven? What is good quality data that can be used for sound AI solutions? And how can businesses, organizations and public actors share data to collaborate and learn from each other, not exist in silos? How do we become more data driven with the use of AI?
08.30 Introduction by Ebba Josefson Lindqvist and Johanna Bergman, AI Sweden

13.00 AiQu a new Scheduling and Orchestration tool for AI Workloads (60 mins, meeting link below)
Workshop with Simon Janeck – CGit/AIXIA
How do you decide who gets to use the valuable GPUs that your organization has invested in? What projects get the most resources? Scheduling, Orchestration and User Management are very important factors when you want to get the most possible efficiency and value out of a GPU-based infrastructure that is specialized for AI development. Simon Janeck will present, and demo, our new scheduler that is purpose-built for Deep Learning jobs in GPU-based environments: AiQu. Contrary to older, HPC-focused schedulers, AiQu is very easy to set up and use.

15.00 SnapXS a powerful tool to manage and create value from large amounts of data (60 mins, meeting link below)
Workshop with Yinan Yu – CGit/AIXIA
How can you find just the data you are looking for when there might be many Petabytes of it? What if rules and regulations demand that you anonymize certain data? Where do you store the data and how do you access them so that you can achieve these features without investing a huge amount of money in the infrastructure hardware, development, and maintenance? Yinan Yu will discuss these challenges and demo SnapXS, a tool that takes your data from the edge device to the web browser to deep learning training in an instant.

Thursday 6 May, 8.30-10.45: The era of algorithms
We are on the brink of a new era of algorithms - if not already there. The third day will tackle the challenges and opportunities that this brings, focusing on the models and algorithms behind AI solutions, the legal and ethical judgments that are increasingly called for, and showcasing concrete solutions that will take us into the next era. Edge AI, federated language models and much more will be on the agenda.

The code is open source and the tutorials will be available afterwards for all attendees.
Register and read more here.
CANCELLED Why we need ML Ops: Minimize time spent on the boring parts and maximize the outcome! Workshop with HPE
Unfortunately this workshop is cancelled. In a few demos Johan Fondin, Solution Architect at HPE, will show you how our Ezmeral ML Ops platform supports your organization in automating and orchestrating the complexity of AI in production. Q&A sessions covering both this and monday session or any open questions. HPE and AI Sweden will have experts covering, infrastructure, data management, ML ops and other interesting topics for this open Q&A.
