SUMMARY:NYAI #28: AI for AI: The Next Automation Revolution w/ Ruchir 
 Puri
DESCRIPTION:Join us for what's sure to be an awesome night in AI! This
  month's event is focused on AI for AI: The next automation revolution
  w/ Ruchir Puri (CTO & Chief Architect\, IBM Watson\; IBM Fellow).\n\n
 Wine + Beer + Food + Desserts + AI + Networking = The Best Tuesday eve
 r!\n\nABSTRACT:\nApplication of neural networks to a vast variety of p
 ractical applications is transforming the way AI is applied in practic
 e. Pre-trained neural network models available through APIs or capabil
 ity to custom train pre-built neural network architectures with custom
 er data has made the consumption of AI by developers much simpler and 
 resulted in broad adoption of these complex AI models.\n\nWhile prebui
 lt network models exist for certain scenarios\, to try and meet the co
 nstraints that are unique to each application\, AI teams need to think
  about developing custom neural network architectures that can meet th
 e tradeoff between accuracy and memory footprint to achieve the tight 
 constraints of their unique use-cases. However\, only a small proporti
 on of data science teams have the skills and experience needed to crea
 te a neural network from scratch\, and the demand far exceeds the supp
 ly.\n\nIn this talk\, I will describe the next revolution in automatin
 g AI and discuss NeuNetS - an automated Neural Network Synthesis engin
 e for custom neural network design - which strives to build neural net
 work designs for specified tasks and with performance on par with huma
 n-designed AI models.\n\nSPEAKER BIO:\nRuchir Puri is the CTO and chie
 f architect of IBM Watson and an IBM Fellow. He is a Fellow of the IEE
 E\, a member of IBM Academy of Technology and IBM Master Inventor\, an
  ACM Distinguished Speaker and IEEE Distinguished Lecturer\n\nRuchir r
 eceived Semiconductor Research Corporation's outstanding mentor award.
  He was a visiting scientist at the Dept. of Computer Science\, Stanfo
 rd University\, CA\, and an adjunct professor at the Dept. of Electric
 al Engineering\, Columbia University\, NY and was awarded John Von-Neu
 mann Chair at Institute of Discrete Mathematics at Bonn University\, G
 ermany.\n\nRuchir received the 2014 Asian American Engineer of the Yea
 r Award. He has delivered numerous keynotes and invited talks at major
  software and hardware conferences. He is an inventor of over 50 Unite
 d States patents and has authored over 100 publications as well as aut
 hored a book on Analyzing Analytics. Ruchir is an active proponent of 
 technology among school children and has been evangelizing fun with el
 ectronics and FIRST LEGO LEAGUE Robotics among middle schools children
