<P><SPAN><STRONG>Talk Title:How AI emotional tracking solves real business needs</STRONG></SPAN></P>
<P><STRONG>Mr Hollis Nolan</STRONG>is the founder of Insight Softmax Consulting, a San Francisco-based data science consulting group. He has a M.S. of Data Science from the University of New Haven & a background in audio signal analysis. Recent projects have included audio sentiment classification, recommendation engines, & customer churn prediction. </P>
<P>Artificial Intelligence also includes emotional intelligence. Automated tracking of emotion in text, speech, & video opens the door to a myriad of opportunities. From having a hard metric on customer happiness over time, to having breakdowns of happiness by customer group, to boosting the accuracy of churn models. Sentiment tracking can helpidentify which customers are most likely to leave, so that you can intervene (in the most cost effective way) before they do. In this talk we'll dive into how computers can learn emotion, & what that can do for your business. </P>

<P><SPAN><STRONG>Talk Title: AI in the Home</STRONG></SPAN></P>
<P><STRONG>Mr. Richard Yim</STRONG><SPAN>is Vice President, Products & Services at People Power Company, where he leads the creation & market success of the first AI, Smart Home security system, currently sold through larger service providers.</SPAN><BR></P>
<P>With more than 25-years as a technology industry executive, Richard is passionate about creating remarkable customer outcomes & thrives on helping enterprise customers transform for the digital age with disruptive B2B2C solutions & services.</P>
<P>As a product manager, he created some of the worlds most iconic & commercially successful software solutions & platforms for enterprises & consumers. Previously, as GM & VP of Products for IGTs $450M systems division, his teams introduced the first cloud based, real-time loyalty management solutions for the worlds largest casinos. Prior, as VP solutions management at Ariba, Richard created the first SaaS procurement & business network solutions prior to acquisition by SAP. Earlier in his career, he led product management for Oracles database on Linux, Windows, & appliances growing annual revenues to over $800M, & designed Symantecs first antivirus & security products for consumers.</P>
<P>Richard earned his bachelor degree in Decision Sciences from Indiana University & an MBA from Pepperdine University on a merit scholarship.</P>
<P>Every 10 years the world sees a massive shift in computing. Humanizing the internet of things (IoT) for the home requires a practical AI approach that when done right, will result in new ways to make our lives easier & safer.</P>
<P>Spending on the Internet of Things is estimated to reach $3 trillion by 2025, up from $750 billion just last year*. That only becomes possible with intelligent IoT solutions that scale predictably, securely, & profitably. This is where AI comes in because if true, & the average home will have between 200 & 500 by 2020, connected devices were going to need smart automation that fits our unique needs & lives. A smart AI based security system can not only protect your home & loved ones, but also notify you if you forgot to close a window, if youve left the stove on & left the house, or unlock your door by recognizing your face or use geofencing to unlock your door. But with anything good comes great responsibility & a need to be sane about how to create & manage AI solutions.</P>
