Join us Wednesday, September 7th from 6:30pm - 8:00pm for a talk on Navigating Neural Net TerrainbyMetis Sr. Data Scientist Julia Lintern.

Schedule:
6:30 - 7:00: Check-in, mingle, enjoy pizza and drinks
7:00 - 7:45: Julia presents and takes questions
7:45 - 8:00: Wrap-up and networking

Talk Abstract from Julia:

One of the challenges of working as a full-time data scientist is finding the opportunity and time to work with emerging technologies and stay abreast of trends. Fortunately, as a Metis Senior Data Scientist, we are given the opportunity to dedicate ourselves to a sabbatical for one-quarter of each year.

During this talk, I will share some of the work and research that resulted from my recent sabbatical. While collaborating with NY-based start-up Behold.ai, I focused on gpu-based deep learning inference based on medical images. I will do a brief review of neural nets, and then extend this understanding to convolutional neural nets. I'll also provide a quick introduction to tensor flow.

Julia Lintern
Metis Sr. Data Scientist

Julia comes to Metis after working at JetBlue as a quantitative engineer. While at JetBlue, she used quantitative analysis and machine learning methods to provide continuous assessment of the aircraft fleet. Julia began her career as a structures engineer, where she designed repairs for damaged aircraft. In 2011, she transferred into a quantitative role at JetBlue and began her M.A. in Applied Math at Hunter College, where she focused on visualizations of various numerical methods including collocation and finite element methods.
