“NVIDIA hosted its fifth annual Women in Deep Learning event at GTC (GPU Technology Conference) last week, inviting women leaders in technology and those doing breakthrough work in deep learning and visual computing to share the challenges and learnings from driving the latest AI innovations.
More than 175 women, and men, gathered at the Fairmont Hotel in San Francisco during our GPU Technology Conference to network and listen to panel discussions led by women entrepreneurs and business leaders on starting their businesses, raising funding and smart hiring practices.
We partnered with NVIDIA’s Women in Tech and Silicon Valley’s Women in Big Data communities to offer attendees a packed agenda over the course of two hours, centered on four primary talks.

She touched on the work of, among others, NVIDIA’s Shalini De Mello, whose research focuses on gaze tracking in cars to combat distracted driving; Olga Russakovsky, a board member of the AI4All Foundation, which is educating future AI leaders; and Sanja Fidler, whose work at the University of Toronto centers on teaching autonomous systems to see, communicate and act.
