At #TheAIConf, @Facebook describes the scale challenges of its personalized newsfeed:

1. 2B users’ feeds
2. 1000 stories candidate for each user on avg
3. Real time

And its architecture.

For each story they use #AI to calculate probability of commenting, liking, etc. https://t.co/Ay4OuidsEA

I remain highly skeptical about the value of IT conference keynotes about quantum computing. Whoever goes on stage has to spend 10min to explain the basics of quantum mechanics and most people need more time to grasp it because of how weird it is. Like IBM right now at #TheAIConf

Another very interesting project mentioned in the context of cybersecurity at #TheAIConf is the @nvidia GPU Open Analytics Initiative. https://t.co/GalpoCj8e4

Very smart (and much appreciated) move by @OReillyMedia: printing and giving away for free to #TheAIConf attendees the results of their recent survey about the state of #AI https://t.co/kQDct3bgxE

The indirect attacks during the inference phase (e.g., subtly modifying physical elements in real life to fool the #AI system) is especially fascinating. And scary.

From an enterprise #AI standpoint, there’s close to nothing about AIOps at #TheAIConf, but a LOT about cybersecurity (e.g., adversarial nets). Which is both very good and very bad. https://t.co/uJ7QEdgG3B

Impressive presentation by @gamalon_inc at #TheAConf. The best I have seen so far. Watch the recording if available. https://t.co/d3DLZqLIPZ

An amazing milestone for something that is completely useless > Facebook Messenger passes 300,000 bots https://t.co/HMgFxJQkGn

@patricia_dugan @OReillyMedia Came straight from Seoul to attend it.

In almost 20 years of career I have never seen so many women at a tech conference (both on stage and in the audience) as at #TheAIConf. Exceptional work @OReillyMedia.

I really hope that this trend will continue and equal participation will expand to more events and topics.
