Cloud Foundry NA Summit's Initial Schedule Highlights Developer Experience on Kubernetes, Open Source Contributors - PRNewswire

Posted: 13 May 2020 06:00 AM PDT

SAN FRANCISCO, May 13, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- The Cloud Foundry Foundation, home to open source projects simplifying the developer experience, announced today the initial schedule for its annual North American Summit which will be held virtually due to the novel coronavirus pandemic. Comcast, IBM, SAP, SUSE, and VMware are among organizations taking center stage at this year's virtual event.

The 2020 NA Summit will leverage the unique circumstances to create a digital forum for the Cloud Foundry ecosystem to engage with content curated by the community-elected program committee and formatted to give remote attendees a fast-paced, high energy environment with abbreviated sessions designed for a virtual experience. The Summit will be held online over two half-days on Wednesday, June 24th and Thursday, June 25th on US Central Time, with each date devoted to a key Cloud Foundry audience: developers and contributors, respectively.

"Cloud Foundry Summit has served historically as a hub for our community—including end users, technology providers, open source contributors and many others—to connect, share best practices and discuss exciting evolutions in the project," said Chip Childers, executive director, Cloud Foundry Foundation. "The crux of Summit will not change, even though it will be held online. We are working closely with our community to ensure they get the same value from this year's North American event. While a virtual event can never replace the importance of face-to-face interactions, our community is cloud native-first; they're very accustomed to being on the internet."

CVPR 2020 Transitions to All-Virtual Event | State - thepress.net

Posted: 12 May 2020 10:21 AM PDT

LOS ALAMITOS, Calif., May 12, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- The annual Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition Conference (CVPR), the largest conference covering every aspect of computer vision and pattern recognition, machine learning, and artificial intelligence, will be conducted virtually, from 14 -19 June 2020, instead of its typical in-person format this year. The decision was made out of caution and concern for the health and safety of participants and the broader community amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

"With CVPR, our goal has always been to connect, educate and inspire the global computer vision, artificial intelligence, and machine learning community," said IEEE Computer Society Executive Director Melissa Russell, co-sponsor of the event. "And through the leadership and dedication of the CVPR Committee, we have been able to do just that—for more than 30 years. While the current environment is not conducive to an in-person meeting, we will provide an exceptional conference experience in a purely virtual format. This new approach allows us to safely deliver the research and technology that will help fuel continued scientific innovation."

As a fully virtual event, CVPR 2020 will deliver content through a combination of pre-recorded and live-streamed sessions. While details are still being confirmed, author presentations will be pre-recorded or live-streamed, and delivered to attendees during slotted session times. Attendees also will be able to participate in a live Q&A with paper authors during these windows. In addition, sessions will be available for on-demand viewing following the close of the conference.

Other CVPR program elements, including workshops and tutorials will be conducted according to their pre-determined schedule in a live, virtual format. Fireside chats featuring Satya Nadella, CEO, Microsoft; Charlie Bell, SVP, Amazon Web Services; Dr. Harry Shum, former Executive Vice President, Microsoft's Artificial Intelligence and Research Group; and Dr. Fei-Fei Li, former Vice President, Google and Chief Scientist of AI/ML, Google Cloud also will stream live, and timing details will be confirmed in the coming weeks. With the transition to an all-virtual event, this year's expo has been cancelled.

"We are excited to be able to present CVPR 2020 virtually," said Cornell University Professor of Computer Science and President of the Computer Vision Foundation Ramin Zabih. "Each year, CVPR continues to break records with paper submissions and attendance, which demonstrates the event's scientific importance and the community's desire for continuing education and collaboration. So, despite COVID-19 challenges, we will support this important venue for advancing research computer vision and machine learning."

"While we are disappointed that we will be unable to hold our expo, which typically features some of the latest products and solutions powering our fields, we will be investigating options in which we can still showcase these technologies in other innovative ways," Zabih added.

Additional specifics regarding the virtual CVPR 2020 conference experience will be shared in the coming weeks. For more information and the latest updates, including ways to register to participate virtually, visit http://cvpr2020.thecvf.com/.

HPAPI Drug Manufacturing Trends - Contract Pharma

Highly potent API (HPAPI) drugs make up a growing percentage of the small molecule drug development pipeline and this group of products is growing faster than the overall small molecule segment, 1 largely due to their usefulness in cancer treatments. Many of these drugs have accelerated timelines for approval and commercial development, which can be challenging for drug developers to keep up with. On the front-end, new technologies such as in-silico prediction tools contribute to shortening candidate selection, 2 while Artificial Intelligence (AI) has already brought a first candidate into clinical development. 3 On the back-end, regulatory drug approval timelines are being increasingly shortened: when analyzing drug approvals in 2019, almost three-quarters of drugs approved (71%) were approved under Priority Review. 4 A related trend is increasing competition in the oncology field, with 80% of new IND’s now belonging to small, emerging or virtual biotech companies. 5 These firms o...
