SUMMARY:WARA M&L x NVIDIA GTC
DESCRIPTION:WARA Media & Language is inviting you to a NVIDIA GTC watch party. \nSign up here! \n  \nAgenda \n14:45 Registration and Welcome \n15:00 Session starts \n16:30 Mingle with snack and drinks \n18:00 End of event \n  \nAbout the session \nHow to use Generative AI to Build Content for Real-World Applications \nThis session will explore a human centric approach to co-creating a variety of applications\, leveraging the capability of generative AI models. The session will begin by exploring new language models’ ability to co-author documents\, co-communicate in interactive conversations and co-generate synthetic data. You will then learn how to integrate diffusion models’ image generation capability anchored in a real-world artist’s co-design and co-created image generation process. Next\, we will demonstrate a mixture of generative AI’s skill sets in an avatar\, seamlessly telling a story supported by applications discussed previously. Last but not the least\, we are going to see how to deploy some of these applications into the cloud as microservices. \nSession will be held by\, \nZenodia Charpy Senior Deep Learning Data Scientist and Davide\, NVIDIA \nDavide Onofrio\, Deep Learning Marketing Engineer Manager\, NVIDIA \n  \nLocation \nThis is an in person event in three locations so please choose your location in the sign up link. \n\nStockholm\, Tegnergatan 14\, 11139 Stockholm\, (host Ivana von Proschwitz)\nGöteborg\, Theres Svenssons gata 13\, 417 55 Göteborg\, (host Linda Malm)\nUmeå\,  Universitetstorget 4\, 901 87 Umeå\, (host Johanna Björklund)\nNorrköping\, Kopparhammaren 2\, Conference room KO201 (host Daniel Jönsson)\n\nIt is also possible to participate and watch the session online. \n  \nHope to see you there! \n  \nOriginal location: Stockholm\, Göteborg\, Umeå\, online
