Sri Ambati, CEO, H2O.ai
AI is transforming the world. And businesses are beginning to undergo this transformation as well. Software is eating the world, and AI is eating software. Sri Ambati, our CEO and co-founder lays out the vision for AI and it’s applications. Also hear from him about what’s coming up next for H2O.
09:00 AMScott Hallworth, SVP Chief Model Risk Officer - Capital One
Scott will talk about which key pieces of model development have greatest impact on the success of machine learning.
09:30 AMArno Candel, Chief Architect, H2O.ai
Deep Water brings the latest and greatest in the Deep Learning space all under the H2O hood. Use Tensorflow, Mxnet & Caffe all from standard H2O interface's including R, Python & Flow. Also deploy your models easily using the H2O platform
10:00 AMJacob Sisk, Vice President, Payments Data Science, Capital One
10:40 AMMicah Stubbs, Interactive Data Visualization, H2O.ai
Micah will present a new feature to visualize residuals in H2O to help data scientists evaluate their model performance better.
11:20 AMChris Peterson, VP, Risk Management, Capital One
11:40 AMAmy Wang & Avni Wadhwa, H2O.ai
We’ve packed a whirlwind for the next 90 minutes to get you up and running on H2O and be able tackle large datasets with an arsenal of algorithms at your disposal. The hands on training will be done primarily in R, but you can follow along in Python (second screen) and H2O Flow as well. You only need a basic understanding of statistics & machine learning. Don’t worry if you get stuck, H2O experts are all over the room to help. For all you power users, look out for “extra credit” exercises and expert tricks and tips on the screen.

2:55 PMMark Landry, H2O.ai
Over-fitting, misread data, NAs, collinear column elimination and other common issues play havoc in the day of practicing data scientist. In this talk, Mark Landry, one of the world’s leading Kagglers, will review the top 10 common pitfalls and steps to avoid them.
3:20 PMAshrith Barthur, H2O.ai
We present solutions on how to make the cyberspace secure through feature-rich, robust, yet lean machine learning-based algorithms that help organizations identify malicious actors, intruders and illegal system access by studying features that arise purely from system login behavior.
3:40 PMAs we near the end of the year, companies have start thinking about their data strategy for 2017. The panel will discuss why it's important to plan for your AI strategy and what strategies are appropriate.

3:00 PMMichal Malohlava, Design & Visualization, H2O.ai
Michal will walk the audience through an hands-on session of Spark and Sparkling Water to show how to build models and deploy them.
4:10 PMH2O is coming to YOU! In place of a single H2O World this year, H2O is on the go, taking our show on the road. The H2O Open Tour is bringing the community more opportunities to learn, connect and grow across the country.
Join us at H2O Open Tour NYC 2016 to:
The minds behind H2O will be on deck to answer your questions and take your feedback.
Schedule a 1:1 appointment with a product expert at our Hydration Station. Participate in hands-on training designed to help you dive deeper into H2O.
You’ll hear directly from people solving and predicting problems at their organizations with H2O. Discover what convinced them to #goH2O.
Come for the learning. Stay for the fun.
Save time and bring your laptop with the latest version of H2O loaded and ready to go! If this is the first time you are installing H2O you can find a handy tutorial with step by step instructions here.
We understand things change and fire drills come up. So if you have to transfer your ticket to a friend or colleague, we can do that for you. No change fee. No hassle. No sweat. Can't make NYC but would like us to transfer your registration to an upcoming H2O Open Tour event? We can do that, too. There will only be an increase in fee if you join us for the two-day program in San Francisco or New York. But hopefully this is neither here nor there -and we'll see you in NYC! You can contact us via the form at the bottom of this page or our Eventbrite registration page.
Designed for data scientists, data engineers and business analysts alike, the H2O Open Tour offers something for everyone in our community no matter your skillset.
The H2O Hydration Station is your chance to sign up for 1:1 consultation with a product expert. Signing up for an appointment is super easy! Appointments are scheduled on site at the Hydration Station on a first-come, first-served basis - so arrive early.
You can contact us at events@h2o.ai or via the form at the bottom of this page with any questions related to the Open Tour event. And please share your ideas about topics or speakers that make you excited.
