Natural Language Processing (NLP) is one of the oldest fields of Artificial Intelligence and has become the backbone of many applications we use on a daily basis.

In this talk, Cedric will provide an overview of the technology, and explain how it is being used across a wide range of services. He will dive deeper the history of NLP technology, show actual case studies of its usage, and explain the challenges ahead, both globally and in Japan.

Cedric has been living in Japan for over 15 years, and was appointed VP of Operations at Gengo (http://gengo.com) 2 years ago. Following Gengo's acquisition by Lionbridge, he recently took over another challenge: developing Lionbridge's AI services offering in Japan, centered around high-quality data for AI applications (https://lionbridge.ai).

We're extremely happy to co-host this talk with Machine Learning Tokyo, the largest Meetup group in Tokyo dedicated to Machine Learning, AI and Data Science. To discover more about MLT: https://machinelearningtokyo.com

We're happy to welcome back Florian for the 4th edition of our popular retro gaming workshop!

Are you interested in how computer graphics or video games work, but always thought that it must be overly complicated? Or you were scared by the plethora of frameworks and didn't know where to start?

Join us for a special introduction on game development, and code a simple retro game in only 2 hours!

We will use a very simple "retro" style of framework, show you how to turn a serious text-mode computer into a fun interactive experience, move stuff on the screen over a playfield according to the keybaord input, and how to replicate some classic graphical effects.

During this workshop, we will be: - Giving a quick introduction on retro games - Making a little game together: showing a playfield, and a controllable character over it - Explaining the basics of collision, movement and gravity - Making it more interesting with simple animation

Pre-requisite

• Basic JavaScript notions
• GitHub account (to be able to fork a boilerplate)
