The word "DevOps" has been getting widely known not only by engineers but also by executives or managements. They hope DevOps resolves their issues or challenges. However the definition of DevOps is quite vague and DevOps does not mean adopting new tools. This session introduces the core values or concepts of DevOps and the way how to adopt DevOps value into your organization.

Computers beat humans in many fields, starting of course by calculus many years ago but also in tasks where we did not expect them like chess game in the 90s, and more recently in recognizing complex objects and scenes in images. They are not yet able to have a real dialog in natural language, which is one way of comparing human and computer intelligence (the Turing test) but several well known scientists anticipate incredible times when Artificial Intelligence will be exponentially improved and will largely outperform human intelligence. The goal of this talk is to point out some fondamental differences between computer and human intelligence, which are usually ignored in the discussions about the future of AI.
<Augmenting Human Creativity> by Adiyan Mujibiya
This talk will be focusing on how we can engineer the vision of Artificial Intelligence, especially on how we can combine human creativity with computational intelligence to solve our daily issues. Specifically, we will discuss our most recent R&D projects in the scope of creativity support in human-computer interaction. Our explorations spans widely in supporting content creation for product visualization and objective description, computational augmentation for personal fabrication design, and also a computational framework to obtain support from others (crowdsourcing).

Often machine learning engines are designed to require little human input. However, while machines are fast, scalable, and reliable, selectively leveraging human input can be an excellent resource to provide continuous feedback and improvement. This is especially important given the inevitable changes in input data and the long tail of edge cases, which are traditionally difficult for machine learning engines.
This talk discusses how we built a product categorization engine at Slice that involves different types of human workers - engineers, analysts, outsourced and crowdsourced workers - to allow for continuous improvement with limited resources.

Unfortunately, this video has noises and intruptions.
In this session, we will be introducing 1) Musio which is an artificially intelligent robot, 2) Muse Gaze which is our core computer vision engine, and 3) Muse Logic which is our intelligent inference engine.
Muse Gaze is already successfully able to perform object detection with high precision, and now focuses on integration with NLP technology.
Specifically, we are focusing on a technique called image description which involves combining multiple neural networks to output a descriptive text given an input image.
We believe techniques such as image description will prove essential for efficient communication and establishing a bond between human beings and machine.
Muse Logic is AKA's cutting edge technology which enables a machine to logically reason and deduce new facts based on input data.
This was achieved by incorporating a memory component and inference component into our deep-learning model.
We firmly believe that Muse Logic shows promise in machines performing logical problem solving and will be applied to various fields such as finance and security in the future.
We are very exited that Muse Logic will be firstly introduced at Rokuten Technology Conference, 2015.
According to the DevOps practices, we are going to talk about the DevOps in real world case studies and technologies. Rakuten automation, Microsoft VSO team's DevOps journey and the report of DevOps Enterprise 2015. Also you may see melt-your-faces demos. Come and join us, if you want to know the real world DevOps.
Example 1: Rakuten: Automation on System Testing and what's going on
Example 2: Microsoft: DevOps at Visual Studio Online and what's going on
Discussion: Why should we think about DevOps?

We envision a world in which anyone, anywhere, can quickly and easily discover, find and buy clothing that’s right for them, with confidence, from any merchant.
We’ll show how we calculate shopper’s measurements from just a few data points, or how we used robotic shape-shifting mannequins to develop algorithms to help shoppers - in all kinds of shapes and sizes - to find the right sizes of garments. And we’ll talk of the future: how the adventure of fashion delivers delight and excitement to millions of shoppers, while helping merchants understand their shoppers in unprecedented ways.

Music technologies will open the future up to new ways of enjoying music both in terms of music creation and music appreciation. In this invited talk, I will introduce the frontiers of music technologies by showing some practical examples to demonstrate how end users can benefit from singing synthesis technologies, music understanding technologies, and music interfaces.
From the viewpoint of music creation, I will demonstrate a singing synthesis system, VocaListener, and a robot singer system, VocaWatcher. I will also introduce the world's first culture in which people actively enjoy songs with synthesized singing voices as the main vocals: emerging in Japan since singing synthesis software such as Hatsune Miku based on VOCALOID has been attracting attention since 2007. Singing synthesis thus breaks down the long-cherished view that listening to a non-human singing voice is worthless. This is a feat that could not have been imagined before. In the future, other long-cherished views could also be broken down.
As for music appreciation, I will demonstrate a web service for active music listening, "Songle" (http://songle.jp), that has analyzed more than 930,000 songs on music- or video-sharing services and facilitates deeper understanding of music. Songle is used to provide a web-based multimedia development framework, "Songle Widget" (http://widget.songle.jp), that makes it easy to develop web-based applications with rigid music synchronization by leveraging music-understanding technologies. Songle Widget enables users to control computer-graphic animation and physical devices such as lighting devices and robot dancers in synchronization with music available on the web. I will then demonstrate a web service for large-scale music browsing, "Songrium" (http://songrium.jp), that allows users to explore music while seeing and utilizing various relations among more than 700,000 music video clips on video-sharing services. Songrium has a three-dimensional visualization function that shows music-synchronized animation, which has already been used as a background movie in a live concert of Hatsune Miku.

One of the great features of Apache Spark is to allow you to write code in popular languages in data processing field, Python and R. But you could face poor performance when using Spark from those language for some reason.
Since Apache Spark 1.4, using DataFrame API would give you almost same performance as when using JVM languages like Scala or Java.
In this talk, I will show the background, examples, pitfalls of DataFrame API and how to get the best performance from Apache Spark from non-JVM languages.
The subject of our presentation is the technology of time synchronization,Especially, we will focus on features of PTP.
