Hi All,
Registration is now open for the first workshop of 2018, which will provide hands-on experience with using the Intel Movidius Neural Compute Stick and open source frameworks to deploy deep neural networks.
As this is likely to prove popular, registering sooner rather than later is recommended if you do plan to come along.
Cheers,
Andrew

OSHUG #64 — Intel® Movidius™ Neural Compute Stick Workshop.
On the 22 February 2018, 09:00 - 17:00 at BCS London, 1st Floor, The Davidson Building, 5 Southampton Street, London, WC2E 7HA.
Learn how to use the Intel® Movidius™ Neural Compute Stick and open source frameworks to deploy deep neural networks at the edge.
— Workshop details
Market research estimates there will be as many as 20 billion connected devices in the market by 2020. These devices are expected to generate billions of petabytes of data traffic between cloud and edge devices. In 2017 alone, 8.4B connected devices are expected in the market which is sparking a strong need to pre-process data at the edge. This has led many IoT device manufacturers, especially those working on vision based devices like smart cameras, drones, robots, AR/VR, etc., to bring intelligence to the edge.
Through the recent addition of the Movidius™ VPU technology to its existing AI edge solutions portfolio, Intel is well positioned to provide solutions that help developers and data scientists pioneer the low-power intelligent edge devices segment. This workshop will provide hands-on experience with Intel’s Neural Compute Stick – a low-cost, form-factor developer kit for low-power vision based embedded inference applications.
What You Will Learn:
* Insights into how Movidius™ VPUs are pioneering DNN accelerated vision processing. * Introduction to hardware and software components of NCS. * Workflow of network profiling and application development using NCS. * Detection/Classification models * Advanced functionalities * Hands-on with advanced demos and sample codes built using NC SDK’s API framework, which includes support for Caffe and TensorFlow
— Participant requirements
** Participants are required to bring a laptop computer with Ubuntu 16.04 and Neural Compute SDK installed **
