The Fifth Elephant 2017 is a four-track conference on:
The Fifth Elephant is a conference for practitioners, by practitioners.
Talk submissions are now closed.
You must submit the following details along with your proposal, or within 10 days of submission:
##About the conference
This year is the sixth edition of The Fifth Elephant. The conference is a renowned gathering of data scientists, programmers, analysts, researchers, and technologists working in the areas of data mining, analytics, machine learning and deep learning from different domains.
We invite proposals for the following sessions, with a clear focus on the big picture and insights that participants can apply in their work:
##Selection Process
We will notify you if we move your proposal to the next round or reject it. A speaker is NOT confirmed for a slot unless we explicitly mention so in an email or over any other medium of communication.
Selected speakers must participate in one or two rounds of rehearsals before the conference. This is mandatory and helps you to prepare well for the conference.
There is only one speaker per session. Entry is free for selected speakers.
##Travel grants
Partial or full grants, covering travel and accomodation are made available to speakers delivering full sessions (40 minutes) and workshops. Grants are limited, and are given in the order of preference to students, women, persons of non-binary genders, and speakers from Asia and Africa.
##Commitment to Open Source
We believe in open source as the binding force of our community. If you are describing a codebase for developers to work with, we’d like for it to be available under a permissive open source licence. If your software is commercially licensed or available under a combination of commercial and restrictive open source licences (such as the various forms of the GPL), you should consider picking up a sponsorship. We recognise that there are valid reasons for commercial licensing, but ask that you support the conference in return for giving you an audience. Your session will be marked on the schedule as a “sponsored session”.

Artificial Intelligence(AI) was introduced to develop and create “thinking machine” that are capable of mimicking, learning and replacing human intelligence. Since last 20 years, AI has shown great promise in improving human decision making processes and the subsequent productivity.
In the fifth elephant conference, I will talk about the application of AI in the E-commerce industry including supply chain management, inventory management, Transportation management and customer service.
AI helps from the time customer starts product search, product recommendation, deciding the right product, an order is placed, payment is made, order fulfilment, delivery of product, return policy and safety and security. Also, focus would be on how AI has improved customer experience with retailers and how retailers can get a competitive advantage. AI can help even warehouse management in a way to not only minimize total cost but also boost employee experience.
I will also cover how AI techniques are used in web services. A web service is a software system designed to support interoperable machine-to-machine interaction over the network.
Audience: My speech would cater to the interest of the people working in the e-commerce, Information technology, data science, supply chain management as well the general audience.
Basics of Artificial intelligence.
Applications of AI in E-commerce industry including supply chain management, inventory management and customer service management.
Applications of AI such as product recommendation, product search, image recognition & understanding, auto-anomaly detection
Customer support services like chat bots and speech recognition.
AI applications in determining optimum price, product categorisation, churn prediction and sentiment analysis
AI techniques in web services.
