Presentation topic:
The AI Gene in the DNA of Digitalization

More about presentation:
AI promise to be the most powerful tools in generations to expand knowledge, enhance prosperity, and enrich the human experience. Technology will be the basis of the innovative economy and a source of power for the countries that use it. AI will promote competition between governments and companies competing for its application. And this will be used by states to realize their strategic ambitions.

AI refers to systems that demonstrate intellectual behavior by analyzing the environment and taking action - with some autonomy - to achieve specific goals.

AI is a system based on algorithms that, by analyzing and identifying patterns in the data, can determine the most appropriate solution. The vast majority of these systems perform specific tasks in limited areas, such as control, forecasting and management. Technology can be developed to adapt its behavior by observing how the environment is affected by previous actions.

AI can be a crucial element in increasing productivity and improving living standards in the coming years. AI refers to technologies programmed to analyze the world around us and take action to achieve specific goals.

During the session we will consider AI and its potential in the system:
• Emergency technologies;
• Public policy;
• Innovation portfolio;
• Diplomacy.

And we come to the conclusion that AI can be considered as a unique category of emerging technologies, which is the peak in the cycle above expectations for a long time.

Yaroslav has exceptional technical skills, and real passion is machine learning. He is the speaker at all valuable data science conferences in Ukraine.

Presentation topic:
Shazam для промислового обладнання: аналіз аудіоданих за допомогою машинного навчання

About speaker:
I efficiently apply both my born skills (perfect ear, analytical thinking, great capacity of work, flexibility, etc.) and a strong background in physics (PhD) in the fields of computational and applied linguistics.

These prerequisites helped me to proceed further than my colleagues:
• In phonetics, I managed to separate speech sound characteristics resulting from the tube and Helmholtz resonances that allowed me to find invariant (speaker-independent) acoustic characteristics of the Ukrainian and English speech sounds, which was not done before. Applicable for phonetics and for enhancing the performance of modern speech recognition tools. Additional tricks reflecting speech wave acoustics will shorten training time and will need much smaller datasets.
• In terminology, we put forward a concept of investigation methods of terminology that allow one to treat terminology as a full-fledged science.
• In terminography, we wrote the Ukrainian-English-Russian "Explanatory dictionary on physics" which is a dictionary of the encyclopedic type and is the only dictionary of this kind in Ukraine.
• In quantitative linguistics, I put forward an analytical approach yielding exact expressions for semantic distances between words.
