For the December Danbury Area Computer Society meeting we are doing more monthly tech talks: two 20-25 minute mini-talks about different tech topics. This month we’re featuring Retro AI & Software Defined Radio Radio Demos.
SDR: Jon Gatrell will be showing several different Software Defined Radio products and showing several different applications you can do with SDR. Jon is the co-founder of the Danbury Hackerspace.
RETRO AI: Sean Henderson will be talking about Command-line AI programs and their descendants inspired by Dr. Joseph Weizenbaum’s famous ELIZA program developed in the 1960s. Modern uses also discussed. Some discussion of AIML. Demos of various ELIZA implementations.
Note: Attendees who bring laptops can follow along if they are running Ubuntu or Ubuntu on Windows Subsystem Layer (WSL). If opting for using Ubuntu on WSL, setting up the latter should be done before attending the presentation/workshop.
Sean is a Microsoft Certified Professional, with specific expertise in Microsoft SQL Server, Adobe ColdFusion, and Mircrosoft Power BI. He helped build the first social professional business graph application prior to LinkedIn, and further developed a Web application that helps protect over 50+ NASDAQ companies from adverse trading activity. From 2017-2018 Sean was an analyst on the Business Intelligence team for a large worldwide manufacturing firm headquartered in Connecticut, helping them develop self-service analytics across all business functions and leveraging their ERP investment.
If you’ve ever wanted to speak in front of a group this is a great way to get some experience. You can talk about a project you’re working on, a cool technology, or almost anything tech-related. Email Mike at DanburyHackerspace.com if you’re interested in speaking.
Meetings tend to start on time, so arrive early and network with other members.
