Tokyo AI Talks (TAIT) #4
Objective
TAIT is a community composed of people based in Tokyo and working with, studying, or investing in AI. We are engineers, product managers, entrepreneurs, academics, and investors intending to build a strong “AI coreˮ in Tokyo. This core is composed of a set of nodes (all of us), and we want to increase the valency of each node through knowledge sharing and mutual connections.
Topic
A set of 6-7 lightning talks, 10-15 minutes each, no Q&A (left to the free discussion parts).
This time we'll explore AI applications around “Science + Creativity”.
Speaker 1 - Alan Roth - Creativity and Science: Linear programming to manufacture mosaics to DALL-E's internal text-to-text generator.
Speaker 2 - Lysandre Follet - Computational Design at Nike.
Speaker 3 - Meishu Song - Exploring advanced speech emotion research and its applications.
Speaker 4 - Chingis Owana - Integration of LLMs to assess the aesthetics of images (in a marketplace application).
Speaker 5 - Sho Akiyama - Japanese Animation Production with Generative AI.
Speaker 6 - Andrew Fyfe - Uncovering the Sounds of the Future: Building Next-Generation Music-creator tools powered by real-time Generative AI technology.
Speaker N - TBD - is that you?
