Embracing WebGPU and WebXR With Three.js
Top Content
The 3JS project has evolved into a community-driven effort with numerous contributors over the past 14 years. It started with 3D engine work in Flash and transitioned to using SVGs for rendering in HTML5 before adopting WebGL. The project showcases various projects and frameworks, including a no-code tool powered by 3.js. The team is working on a new render using WebGPU and developing a new shader language called TSL. The hope is that WebGPU will eventually replace WebGL, offering better control and performance.

Makepad - Leveraging Rust + Wasm + WebGL to Build Amazing Cross-platform Applications
Top Content
Welcome to MakePad, a new way to build UI for web and native using WebAssembly and Rust. JavaScript is not suitable for complex applications like IDEs and design tools. Rust, a new programming language, was used to reimagine MakePad, resulting in a fast and efficient platform. MakePad offers live editing, high CPU performance, and the ability to load native instrument components. The future of MakePad includes an open-source release, a design tool, and support for importing 3D models.

Today every developer is using LLMs in different forms and shapes, from ChatGPT to code assistants like GitHub CoPilot. Following this, lots of products have introduced embedded AI capabilities, and in this workshop we will make LLMs understandable for web developers. And we'll get into coding your own AI-driven application. No prior experience in working with LLMs or machine learning is needed. Instead, we'll use web technologies such as JavaScript, React which you already know and love while also learning about some new libraries like OpenAI, Transformers.js

Come check out our workshop which will walk you through 3 common journeys when using TensorFlow.js. We will start with demonstrating how to use one of our pre-made models - super easy to use JS classes to get you working with ML fast. We will then look into how to retrain one of these models in minutes using in browser transfer learning via Teachable Machine and how that can be then used on your own custom website, and finally end with a hello world of writing your own model code from scratch to make a simple linear regression to predict fictional house prices based on their square footage.

Are you a Software Engineer who got tasked to deploy a machine learning or deep learning model for the first time in your life? Are you wondering what steps to take and how AI-powered software is different from traditional software? Then it is the right workshop to attend.
The internet offers thousands of articles and free of charge courses, showing how it is easy to train and deploy a simple AI model. At the same time in reality it is difficult to integrate a real model into the current infrastructure, debug, test, deploy, and monitor it properly. In this workshop, I will guide you through this process sharing tips, tricks, and favorite open source tools that will make your life much easier. So, at the end of the workshop, you will know where to start your deployment journey, what tools to use, and what questions to ask.

This workshop will be both a gentle introduction to Machine Learning, and a practical exercise of using the cloud to train simple and not-so-simple machine learning models. We will start with using Automatic ML to train the model to predict survival on Titanic, and then move to more complex machine learning tasks such as hyperparameter optimization and scheduling series of experiments on the compute cluster. Finally, I will show how Azure Machine Learning can be used to generate artificial paintings using Generative Adversarial Networks, and how to train language question-answering model on COVID papers to answer COVID-related questions.
