SUMMARY:CME Manufacturing Economic Outlook  & Investment Roadshow
DESCRIPTION:Manufacturing Economic Outlook & Investment Roadshow \nJoin Canadian Manufacturers & Exporters (CME)\, together with our partners for our Manufacturing Economic Outlook and Investment Roadshow at one of your local craft breweries. \nThis cross-Canada pub night series of events is your one-stop-shop to receive economic insights\, learn about government incentive programs and capital investment opportunities available to manufacturers and all while enjoying a pint at your local craft brewery. \n\nMANUFACTURING ECONOMIC OUTLOOK\nWhat’s in store for the economy in 2019? What do you need to know to forecast throughout the year and into 2020? CME’s Chief Economist Mike Holden will provide you with his manufacturing economic outlook and answer your questions. \nCAPITAL INVESTMENT AND TECHNOLOGY ADOPTION\nInvestment in new capital and technology is critical for Canadian industry to grow and be globally competitive. Unfortunately\, Canadian companies are falling behind their international competitors when it comes to investing in new machinery\, equipment and advanced manufacturing technologies. \nAt the same time\, Canada is home to global leaders in technology adoption and our businesses have access to a range of existing supports to help them deal with the rapid pace of technological change taking place today. To share information about the opportunities created by embracing new technologies\, and to support business investment and growth in Canada\, this event will feature an expert from BDO Canada who will provide specific advice to companies on how to invest in and grow their companies. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJoin us for a brew!\nWhen: March 13\, 2019\nTime: 5:00 PM – 7:00 PM\nWhere: 10229 105 St NW\, Edmonton\, AB T5J 1E3 \n\n\n\n\n\nCOST \n$50 + GST CME Members \n$75 + GST Non Members \n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\n\n  \n  \n  \n  \n

When this is not the case\, evaluation requires a method of visualizing classifier performance across the full range of possible operating conditions. This talk outlines the most important requirements for cost-sensitive classifier evaluation\, and introduces a technique for classifier performance visualization – the cost curve – that meets all these requirements. This talk should be of interest to anyone who works in areas that use classifiers\, for example\, machine learning\, pattern recognition\, biometrics\, and diagnosis.\nRelated papers:\nhttp://dx.doi.org/10.1007/s10994-006-8199-5\nhttps://webdocs.cs.ualberta.ca/~holte/Publications/kdd2000.pdf \nFiguring out the limits of human vision with deep learning\nIn this talk\, I present a part of my PhD thesis done in collaboration with Telecom Paristech. In this work\, we explored methods to derive the human perceptual limit to see changes in an image. We proposed a new method to solve the problem with convolutional neural network. Our solution involved using deep learning in conjunction with traditional methods in psychophysics. Our method derives the human error detection threshold by solving an alternative problem of image quality assessment.
