Machine Learning in Drupal with Tensorflow.js

Machine Learning and AI jobs have jumped by almost 75% over the past four years and are poised to keep growing. Investing in your education by learning more about these high-growth technologies is a solid strategy. But if you're not familiar with the tech, where should you start? Drupal developer Rick Torzynski has the answer for you.

In this talk, you'll learn more about: Machine Learning (ML) and Deep Learning as a discipline; How Drupal uses ML; Current ML modules in Drupal; the role of Python and Jupyter Notebooks in ML; and, most importantly, a demo of Rick's newest development "TensorFlow.js", an ML-enabled Drupal Component module designed to facilitate ML-processing directly in Drupal. He'll also demonstrate the future of the module, demonstrating how it can play a strong role in Drupal Commerce, Chatbots, and image-and-video tagging.

With 12 years of Drupal experience, Rick Torzynski is a Senior Drupal Developer at ECS, and has worked for companies like SpinSpire, Florida Blue, Scribe Fusion, and APR Energy. He has an M.A. in Psychology with an emphasis on statistics and research methodology. In his spare time, he works on IoT Edge devices (Raspberry Pi, Jetson Nano, OAK-D Spatial Camera), and is a Luthier – a maker of hand-crafted mandolins, guitars, and cigar-box instruments.
