We host cool AI events in Ottawa. Our promise is to provide a stage for open-source AI developers to share code and the lessons they’ve learned from experimentation.


AI Tinkerers - Ottawa

Join us for our upcoming event featuring two guest speakers and two technical demonstrations, all centered around artificial intelligence.

First, we’re thrilled to welcome Valentyna Akulova, a UX Designer at Lumeca, a virtual healthcare startup. She has seen a growing demand for AI applications addressing diverse healthcare challenges. She will dig into the landscape of existing AI solutions, uncover the problems they tackle, and explore the untapped potential of AI in healthcare.

Next we have Dmitrii Evdokimov, a Machine Learning Engineer at OpenTable. Dmitrii will go beyond the standard Hugging Face Trainer usage, which is common for fine-tuning, and discuss what we can do to improve our models' performance. He will cover best practices on hyperparameter search, architectures, and more.

We’ll also be welcoming two technical demos from Jerome Lecomte and Neil Mathew. Jerome will showcase what happens when you get text-to-image and image-to-text models into an endless loop and how good AI is at playing Telestrations with itself. Neil will demonstrate a Drag-n-Drop Builder for Multi-modal AI Workflows he built to avoid having to set up new python endpoints every time he needed to run image processing workflows in his code. 

(Contact us if you would like to demo at a future event).

This month’s meetup is hosted by Abror Kamalov (AI Tinkerer and Co-founder @ DreamLinked).

Our group welcomes developers of all backgrounds. If you’re passionate about the technicalities behind developing AI systems, this is a home for you. Our promise is to provide a stage for open-source AI developers to share code and the lessons they’ve learned from experimentation.

Be part of our growing online community of AI developers.

Showcase your work, connect and collaborate, get help. It's the coolest group around.

Your project is the most important thing to our group. Share it with the community and earn some cool gifts 😊
