As C# developers, we are spoiled with a great language and awesome IDEs. Why do build systems like PSAKE, FAKE, or CAKE never really match the level of convenience and integration that we’re used to? NUKE is different. It is fully based on C# console applications and uses the type system to its full extent. You want your auto-completion, package management, debugging, refactorings, formatting, and navigation back? It’s available right there!

In this talk, Wilder will introduce the audience to a new, augmented, Facial Emotion Recognition dataset and a Deep Learning model. With its basis on the FER 2013 dataset, used by a Kaggle(1) competition and also referenced in the paper by Ian Goodfellow et al(2), Challenges in Representation Learning: A report on three machine learning contests; Wilder augmented the FER2013 32,298 images by adding the Celeb Dataset(3), which contains 202,599 images of celebrity faces, exploring the magnitude of gradients around edge corners by extracting extra features from the faces using the Histogram of Gradients.

The most popular databases in the world all speak SQL, and almost 60% of Stack Overflow members use SQL. SQL is the query language that dominates when it comes to interacting with data. Data has changed since the 1970s; it’s no longer just stored in flat tables, but as rich, hierarchical object structures like JSON. SQL isn’t dead though, it just needed to evolve a little bit.

Yes or No…SQL? (ok, no more puns) If you’re like many developers, relational databases are your bread & butter. They’ve been the standard; it works. And then…NoSQL databases came along. With several NoSQL options available, do you switch because it’s new? Better? The “Future”? In this talk, Adrienne guide you on how to make your own decision (which may not always end with a NoSQL solution)!

Unidirectional Data Flow (UDF) is a powerful technique that enhances our Reactive apps to work deterministically. Synchronising our views with fresh data was never an easy task to accomplish. For this same reason, there are mechanisms that support us to make that possible. Surely callbacks were a thing in the past, however, they were an antipattern themselves due to the lack of readability.

Shipping Machine Learning into production turned out to be less about ML and more about Engineering. As Martin Zinkevich, Research Scientist at Google puts it: “To make great products, do machine learning like the great engineer you are, not like the great machine learning expert you aren’t.”
In this talk we explore an experience of considering ML Engineering through the lens of best Software Engineering practices.
