Empowering Educators: Automated Assignment Scoring via Azure OpenAI Service ChatGPT by Cyrus Wong and Markus Tsang
One of the use cases of Generative AI is automating repetitive tasks, and in this session the speakers share how they automate grading student assignments. It's impressive to see how they were able to grade 70 essays in less than 10 minutes 🤯.
Build your own AI sidekick with .NET 8, Semantic Kernel, and Azure AI by Matt Eland
Since the launch of GitHub Copilot, I have dubbed coding with Copilot as "Buddy Driven Development." In a sense you have a companion right there in your editor helping you in your development process. This session goes beyond your coding environment and shows you how you can develop you own AI buddy in other applications and is something I am really looking forward to learning.
Deconstructing Hugging Chat: Explore an open-source Chat UI for Generative AI Apps by Nitya Narasimhan
Getting behind the scene and learning how the "Hugging Chat" app is built, deployed and how it can be customized is something I'm really interested in learning. In addition, Nitya, will be doing all this using GitHub Codespaces and Copilot which means, you don't need to install anything for the session!!
Herding LLMs Towards Structured NLP by Raphael Mitsch
In the Era of Generative AI, creating Natural Language Processing (NLP) applications has never been easier. In this session Raphael discusses spacy-llm, and I'm interested in learning how to fast track and build more robust NLP apps.
