Build Stuff'15 Lithuania: Full Schedule

“BUILD STUFF” is a Software Development Conference for people who actually build stuff. We bring world-class speakers, letting them share about the latest developments, trends and innovations, as well as new directions in software development. Since launching in 2012, it’s really caught on quickly.

Recognized by developers from all over Europe, international Software Development Conference Build Stuff’15 Lithuania will feature 3 days (18-20 Nov’15) of conference sessions and 2 days (21-22 Nov’15) of workshops.

(SLIDES) Kristjan Korjus @kristjankorjus - Artificial Intelligence that plays Atari video games: How did DeepMind do it?

Rate the session!

We replicated the work of DeepMind as an open source project and created an artificial intelligence that can learn to play different video games in a super-human level without any human intervention. I will talk about deep learning, reinforcement learning and their combination called deep Q-Network.

(SLIDES) Jeroen Soeters @JeroenSoeters - The Hitchhiker's Guide To Neuroevolution in Erlang

Rate the session!

Neuroevolution is a technique where we use algorithms inspired by nature to evolve neural networks. We will go on a journey on which we first explore the basics of a neural network, followed by looking at the beauty of evolutionary computation and ultimately go down the rabbit hole and combine the two to create a platform for evolving neural networks that can be used to tackle a wide variety of problems from cleaning robots to financial oracles.
