SUMMARY:Deep Learning Workshop
DESCRIPTION:In this hands-on webinar\, Dr. Danny Silver and Dr. Andy McIntyre of the Acadia Institute for Data Analytics will share a high-level overview of the key elements of neural networks and deep learning\, and recent advances that allow deep networks to solve challenging problems. Participants will engage in hands-on learning and building their own deep models using prepared software (Keras and Tensorflow). \nProgramming or coding experience is not a requirement for participants\, as all code needed will be provided\, however some programming experience will help! For this workshop\, you will need a laptop or desktop with the latest version of the Chrome browser\, and a Google account for using Google Drive. \nAnyone who is interested in this session must register by November 23rd and complete a short study prior to the workshop (which will be sent to you). \nAbout the Presenters\nDr. Andy McIntyre\, Associate Director & Data Scientist \nAndy completed a Bachelor of Science degree at Mount Allison University in 2000. Andy continued his academic pursuits at Dalhousie University\, enrolling in the Masters of Computer Science Program and later graduating with a Ph.D. in the field in 2007. Andy’s focus has mainly been machine learning with specific interest in evolutionary computation\, a population-based meta learning technique for model building. \nHis work has most recently included a 10-year role as senior researcher with the Network Information Management and Security group at Dalhousie\, working on computer gaming and behaviour mining applications. He was a previously a postdoc with the department of Ophthalmology and Visual Science\, investigating shape-based\, predictive GP / imaging models and had further postdoctoral collaborations with National Research Council Canada Institute for Biodiagnostics Atlantic at the Neuroimaging Research Laboratory\, developing models of functional connectivity with clustering and classification algorithms applied to large-scale\, resting-state functional MRI (brain-imaging) data. \nAndy currently holds an adjunct professor designation at Dalhousie and an adjunct position with the Jodrey School of Computer Science at Acadia University with 19 publications and has been named on five US patents as of 2020. Andy assumed the role of Data Scientist at the Acadia Institute for Data Analytics as of October 2018 and has recently taken on the role of Associate Director. \nDr. Danny Silver\, Data Scientist\, Acadia Institute for Data Analytics & Professor\, Jodrey School of Computer Science at Acadia University \nDanny is a Professor in and former Director of the Jodrey School of Computer Science at Acadia University. His areas of research and development are machine learning\, data mining\, user modeling\, and adaptive systems. He has published over 60 scientific papers\, edited special journal editions\, and has been part of the organizing or program committee for a number of national and international conferences\, seminars and workshops. Most recently he was awarded a Harrison McCain Foundation Award for research into advanced machine learning methods. \nSince 1993\, he has worked on machine learning and data mining projects in the private and public sector providing situation analysis and problem definition\, project management and guidance\, and predictive analytic services. In 2011\, he received the Science Champion Award from the Nova Scotia Discovery Centre for his work on youth robotics and the advancement of STEM education.

SUMMARY:Fintech Bridge - Ireland and Canada
DESCRIPTION:With special thanks to the Canadian Trade Commissioner Service and the support of the Embassy of Canada to Ireland\, Fintech Ireland is delighted to host another excellent Fintech Bridge Event\, this time with Canada. \nFollowing hot on the heels of the Release of the famous Fintech Ireland maps on Thursday 18th November 2021\, we get to take a deeper look at fintech in Canada and Ireland and the opportunity for the industry in each other’s country. \nDid you know that Canada’s GDP at USD $1.65tn is almost four times that of Ireland at $420bn. Canada provides Irish fintech\, regtech and finserv with an excellent opportunity to scale their businesses in North America\, while Ireland provides these Canadian businesses with an European beachhead to access both a local population of 5mn and 27 EU Member States. \nDid you know that: \n\nthere are more that 350+ fintechs operating from Ireland locally and scaling internationally.\nmore than 100 Irish tech start-ups together raised a record €932m in the first half of 2021 from venture capital\, debt finance\, grants and crowdfunding.\nCanadian FinTech sector is poised to grow further in 2021 following $700m of investments in Q1 2021\, led by deals in Toronto.\nCompanies based in Toronto raised half of the 10 largest FinTech deals in Canada.\n\nFurther details about the event\, content and speakers to be announced shortly.
