Nasrudim whipped out his laptop that was loaded with Jupyter Notebook and gave us a great talk/demonstration of AI image recognition.
 
Our videographer (yours truly) flubbed the screen capture and hence, we’re unable to post the talk here. *Deep bow of apology*. If you are interested, you can read Nasrudin’s Jupyter Notebook by cloning from his github.
