The IoT Evolution Expo is the only Internet of Things industry event focused on Enterprise-level strategic planning and engineering-lead solutions to IoT and IIoT challenges. We have invited a world-class speaking faculty to join us and help provide our conference delegates with the critical business intelligence they need to formulate strategy for the next year.
We reached out to our speakers and asked them for a preview for their sessions to give you a little taste of what to expect at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas July 17 to 20 for the IoT Evolution Expo. To register now, click here.
Dr. James McCaffrey is a Senior Research Scientist Engineer for Microsoft Research. He has a PhD from the University of Southern California, a BA in cognitive psychology from the University of California at Irvine, a BA in applied mathematics, and an MS in computer science. In his session with Richard Barrett of Cypress Semiconductor, Autonomous Autos and New Transportation Models, attendees will learn about some factors driving autonomy in connected transportation and what markets stand to gain the most.
IoT Evolution World: What will be some key points you plan to hit in your session?
James McCaffrey : What, exactly, are deep neural networks? What is the relationship between deep neural networks and artificial intelligence? What is the relationship between deep neural networks and IoT?
IoTEW: What new insights can attendees expect to take home from your session?
JM: Get a solid understanding of deep neural networks. Know exactly what deep neural networks can and cannot do. Gain insights into current business opportunities and challenges
IoTEW: Can you identify a few important trends influencing your sector of the IoT which will shape the path of the industry?
JM: Rapidly improving raw processing power via GPUs; Rapidly improving algorithms such as LSTMs; Rapid increase of data collection from IoT devices; The promise of an insane jump when Quantum Computing reaches critical mass.
IoTEW: What are the biggest challenges facing the IoT?
JM: The ability to process data at the device level.
IoTEW: What are some important tools needed to overcome them?
JM: The creation of one or more killer applications.
IoTEW: Which vertical markets have the most to gain from IoT implementation? Which are leading and which are still behind the adoption curve?
JM: Most to gain: medical, transportation, building infrastructure. Behind: legal, construction, agriculture.
IoTEW: What sessions are you most looking forward to attending at the Expo?
JM: Fog Computing and Edge Processing; BIA-05; Perry Lea, CradlePoint; Rohit Pasam, Xaptum; and Augmenting Business Intelligence at the Edge; IIC-02; Michael O’Connell, TIBCO Software.
