Key gotcha/trick: blog post experiments showing near-linear speedup increase batch sizes as number of workers increase (which may cause failure to converge). We need to see convergence plots! – at San Francisco, CA

Key idea: focus your precious training iteration cycles on more promising configurations. – at Financial District, San Francisco

What does @hadron_cloud do? Run in web browser to scavenge idle cycles for CNN training, then compensate user *with cryptocurrency*...! However: NOT just solving (worthless) inverse hash problems.
Cliff Szu (@hadron_cloud) dropping mobile adoption factoids: avg Indian data use already 10x of USA, 2025 smartphones > humans, ... , plus: increasing edge compute power on the device itself.

How can organizations use quantitative modeling to optimize longitudinal incentive shaping via gamification mechanics? We're about to find out with @cem3394 of @useTakt ! – at San Francisco, CA

Lots of cool algorithmic work in @RainforestCx illegal logging detection and localization, eg Independent Component Analysis (ICA) to try isolating chainsaw sound vs other background noise.
