Themes

Human Machine Interaction / Applied Image Recognition / Computer vision

With the advent of intelligent devices we, as humans interact with each other, and the world in a multitude of new ways. Can machines enhance our perception of the world through additional sensory data? If yes, what are the applications of such technology in areas of retail/e-commerce and beyond?

Customer Analytics using Machine Learning /Deep Learning:

Customer transactions are both online and at physical stores for a while now. How can we get a single view of the customer behavior and transaction patterns? How can we leverage the existing data using the latest techniques in machine learning / deep learning to provide insights to the marketing team? These solutions should be actionable, cross-channel, repeatable, scalable and re-usable in other domains for maximum impact.

Beyond Bitcoin:

We all know Blockchain technology, through Bitcoin, is transforming the way financial transactions are done. How can the same blockchain technology be used to transform retail and supply chain?
Blockchain need not be the technology for Bitcoin alone; How to innovate in retail using the blockchain technology?

Cloud, Platforms and Infrastructure

Scale at which our data footprint is exploding is enormous and always pushing the limits with infrastructural requirements such as storage, computer, real-time networks to crunch and make sense with this information in real time. Can you think of a Platform configuration that can break the existing boundaries and explore beyond? You can think of developing a simple cloud-enabled scaling solution to an algorithm to write/read data from a storage engine. Think big, think beyond.
