The cost-effective HP 3D printers tailored for small/medium-sized product development teams, design firms, and universities.

Artificial Intelligent (AI) MICROSCOPE - Demonstrated by Dr. Tom Zimmerman

A half billion years ago plankton, the invisible creatures that float in the oceans, tripled the amount of oxygen in the air, which led to an explosion of life, which led to us. Come see a new microscope invented at IBM to keep them happy, and keep us alive.

Spatio-Temporal Epidemiological Modeler (STEM) - Demonstrated by Dr. Kun Hu

STEM is a tool designed to help scientists and public health officials create and use models of emerging infectious diseases. STEM uses mathematical models of diseases to simulate the development or evolution of a disease in space and time (e.g., avian flu or salmonella).

IOT Application - Demonstrated by Dr. German H Flores

A sensor is a device that measures physical properties that describe the current state of a system or environment. This research focuses on using two sensory devices for different indoor/outdoor applications: Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) beacons for localization, and a Time-of-Flight (ToF) camera for crowd counting.

Human-in-the-loop Tool for Entity Resolution (ER) - Demonstrated by Dr. Min Li

Demonstration of an active learning system that (1) explores both likely false positive and likely false negative examples to learn easily interpretable and changeable ER rules; (2) employs performance optimization to reduce system response time in big data scenarios. A system on matching scenarios from medical publication domains will be showcased.

Self-Driving Car

Intel & Mobileye’s technology powers the “eyes” and “brains” in the majority of the autonomous test cars on roads today. The fleet will showcase Intel and Mobileye’s full suite of safety-minded and economically scalable software, including surround-view computer vision, crowdsourced REM-based mapping and localization, several levels of sensor fusion, efficient, semantic-based artificial intelligence (AI) for driving policy (decision-making), and a formal safety layer. Our 100 car fleet will be used for development and validation providing a highly scalable and cost-effective L4/L5 platform.

Shooting Star Drone / Drone Light Shows

Our record-breaking flights take the wonders of drone technology and transform them into an entirely new form of entertainment. With Intel drone light shows, brands have the power to brighten up the night sky with a perfectly choreographed light show with hundreds of drones—creating a stunning way to communicate.
