*Biosketch: *Pete Warden (Google) is Lead of the TensorFlow 
Mobile/Embedded team at Google. He was senior engineer at Apple and CTO 
of Jetpac. He is the author of the Data Source and of the TinyML 
handbooks for O'Reilly.

*Abstract: *Machine learning on embedded hardware is a new field that's 
only beginning to be used in the developed world, but it has some 
characteristics that may make it particularly appropriate for developing 
countries. The hardware and software required to train students, advance 
research, and build products is much cheaper than the equivalents for 
Cloud ML, and since the devices don't need reliable network or even main 
power connections, they can be deployed almost anywhere. AsTechnical 
Lead of the TensorFlow Micro open source project from Google, he has 
previously helped projects like Plant Village use on-device deep 
learning in West Africa. In this talk he will introduce some of the 
possibilities that edge compute opens up for the world outside the West, 
and will be looking to learn from the audience what problems in their 
domains it might be applicable to.

The talk will be followed by a question/answer session.
