Nazar Shmatko,  VP of engineering, RefaceAI

Topic of the report: The success of generative models and how to reach it

The report discusses the latest achievements of generative competition networks in the problem of image synthesis. The key aspects that have become a turning point in the synthesis of high quality results are considered.

Nazar, as a specialist in machine learning, has experience in computer vision, natural language processing and applied knowledge in healthcare. He is now actively working with generative models for the facial transfer project.

Philip Shurpik, Head of ML production, RefaceAI

Report topic: ML & Video Pipelines – path to scalable production

Philip will talk about the way ML models go from unstructured research code to pipelines that can replace faces in thousands of videos per minute.

For over 9 years in Software Engineering – during this time Philip has worked with many different projects and technologies.

In 2017 he started working with ML and AI and went on to study Data Science at UCU, since then in ML.

He is currently engaged in a multitude of tasks – from model optimization for production to ML Pipeline architecture.
