September will be a busy month for us at CrowdFlower. We’ll be attending conferences and events in New York, Atlanta, and at home in San Francisco, and we hope to meet you on the way.
Here are a few places you can come say hello and hear about the advancements we are making in AI:
Kaizen Data Conference September 16-17, San Francisco, CA
From conference website :
Kaizen Data is an applied data science conference focused on data analytics, processing, management, visualization and machine learning.
At Kaizen, you’ll learn practical data science and build relationships with the best in the industry.
CrowdFlower will be a sponsor of the event and will also be engaged in couple of speaking engagements.
On Saturday, September 17th, our CEO Robin Bordoli will be giving the keynote address at 5:30pm PT on The 7 Myths of AI . Here’s a brief description of what he will discuss:
AI is now a mainstream media topic reaching a broader business audience. How do we speak to this business audience? How do dispel the myths being perpetuated by the mainstream media? How do we give business executives a framework to understand AI and apply it to their business? If we as an industry want to have the wide scale impact to which we all aspire, then it’s imperative we find a way to connect and engage with business executives. Robin will share his approach for doing this.
Our Senior Data Scientist, Nick Gaylord , will also be participating in two panel discussions on Saturday as well:
September 17, 2016 at 2:30pm PT
Panel: Will blackbox machine learning platforms supplant data scientists? (i.e. will they be automated?)
Pete Skomoroch (Stealth Startup), Hilary Parker (Stitch Fix), Nick Gaylord (CrowdFlower), Stuart Bailey (Open Data)
September 17, 2016 at 4:30pm PT
Panel: Generalist vs Specialist: How much of “everything” should you know?

O’Reilly Artificial Intelligence Conference September 26-27, New York, NY
From conference website :
2016 is shaping up to be the year that AI finally moves from being the province of university labs to being a critical part of the software developer’s toolkit and a focus for mainstream companies. There is a growing―and urgent―need for information on applied AI, as opposed to the kind of research presented at academic conferences.
That’s why we created the O’Reilly Artificial Intelligence Conference.
The O’Reilly AI Conference is where cutting-edge science meets new business implementation. It’s a deep dive into emerging AI techniques and technologies with a focus on how to use it in real-world implementations. You’ll dissect case studies, delve into the latest research, learn how to implement AI in your projects, share emerging best practices in intelligence engineering and applications, uncover AI’s limitations and untapped opportunities and anticipate how AI will change the business landscape.
CrowdFlower is proud to be a sponsor at O’Reilly AI. Come visit us at booth K13 to hear the latest, watch a demo, schedule a one on one consultation, or receive new CrowdFlower swag.

Our VP of Product, Jack Shay and Senior Data Scientist, Nick Gaylord , will also be co-hosting a breakout session with Microsoft’s Gokhan Uluderya on Advanced Analytics and Machine Learning:
Making It Real: Integrating Human Workflows in Your Analytics SolutionsBy making human intelligence an integral part of an analytics solution, you can close the feedback loop and create differentiating capabilities. In this session, we’ll demonstrate how to do this with a real-life text analytics solution that combines technologies in machine learning, data processing, and labeling and integrates human workflows into the application so that it can learn and improve on an ongoing basis.
