Open Source Solutions at FOSSASIA Summit 2020

In the recent FOSSASIA Summit in March, AI Singapore contributed two speakers to share with the community our efforts to build open source solutions for artificial intelligence. Held against the backdrop of COVID-19, many of the sessions in this year’s event had to be moved online and the organisers deserve full credit for coordinating, aggregating and delivering all the scheduled content despite multiple challenges in last minute travel restrictions and strict social distancing measures put in place.

To start off, one of our principal AI consultants, Tern Poh, gave an overview of AI Singapore’s mission and programmes and where our open source pre-built solutions (aka ‘AI Bricks’) fit within them.

If you are interested in zooming in on specific parts of Tern Poh’s presentation, below are some bookmarks.

In a comprehensive coverage of the tool, he demonstrated its utility in various use cases as well as walked everyone through the code that make task automation come alive.
