Panel Discussion: AI & Machine Learning in Cyber Security
A live online panel discussion focused on the debate around AI and machine learning and how they can automate cyber security; catch more threats and malicious attacks and prove a useful weapon against cyber crime.
Data Science Apps: Beyond Notebooks with Apache Toree, Spark and Jupyter Gateway
Jupyter notebooks are transforming the way we look at computing, coding and problem solving. But is this the only “data scientist experience” that this technology can provide? This webinar, sketches how you could use Jupyter to create interactive and compelling data science web applications and provide new ways of data exploration and analysis.
AI in Finance: AI in regulatory compliance, risk management, and auditing. How AI identifies and prevents risks, above and beyond traditional methods. Techniques and analytics that protect customers and firms from cyber-attacks and fraud. Using AI to quickly and efficiently provide evidence for auditing requests.

Public Talks
GLOBAL ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE CONFERENCE, Santa Clara, CA, USA, January 2017
AI for Financial Applications
We all love AI. But what about financial applications? It turns out that AI, and in particular ML and DL can be very effectively applied to financial services. This presentation illustrated a number of use cases such as transaction fraud prevention and credit authorisation using AI and machine learning techniques. Starting from there, the presentation will show how those problems can be solved with AI techniques with code snippets and live demos using Keras, Tensorflow and Scikit-Learn applied to some financial datasets. It will then describe how techniques such as deep learning, t-sne, dimensionality reduction can be used as the "data engines" for the next-gen financial applications both in retail as well as commercial banking.
PREDICTIVE BUSINESS ANALYTICS & DATA MANAGEMENT FORUM Milan, Italy February 2017
Are we reaching a Data Science Singularity? How Cognitive Computing is emerging from Machine Learning Algorithms, Big Data Tools, and Cloud Services.
Prescriptive analytics is the ultimate analytical step which goes beyond predictions into the realm of goal-oriented recommendations. As such, we could consider prescriptive analytics as a particular sort of cognitive computing. In 2016, how far are we from cognitive computing actually? Will Cognitive Computing emerge from Machine Learning Algorithms, Big Data Tools, and Cloud Services?
DATA DRIVEN INNOVATION, Open Summit, Rome, Italy, March 2017
Data Science Apps: Beyond Notebooks. Jupyter notebooks are transforming the way we look at computing, coding and problem solving. But is this the only “data scientist experience” that this technology can provide? This talk will sketch how you could use Jupyter to create interactive and compelling data science web applications and provide new ways of data exploration and analysis. In the background, these apps are still powered by well understood and documented Jupyter notebooks.
