Abhi Gupta, a UniMelb Master’s of IT student and Cyber Security enthusiast was
one of our Scholarship recipients for the December Deep Learning Workshop.
What really got our attention was Abhi’s work with ResPlats, where he teaches
and assists with Python Workshops. ResPlats helps researchers utilise tools to
assist with their research and helping them learn Python means they are better
able to manipulate their quantitative research data and make sense of it. Abhi
also volunteers with Robogals, engaging young children with robotics kits to
spark an interest in STEM.

I had the privilege of attending a Deep Learning workshop by Silverpond a
week ago, courtesy of their scholarship. It was a 2-day event held at their
CBD office in Melbourne, taught by their in-house specialists: Noon and
Lyndon. The casual teaching environment coupled with a friendly bunch of
attendees made the affair an enjoyable one in multiple ways. Below, I present
a recap of my learning experience.

Galois is always doing a great deal of interesting work and they've
just published their year-in-review for 2017. Have a read of this
huge summary of what they have been involved in over the last
12 months.
2017 brought continued growth in concern about the trustworthiness of
computing systems. The breadth of our work at Galois has grown
correspondingly. We opened a third office in Dayton, Ohio, grew past 70
employees, and continue to actively hire. We are grateful to our partners
and clients that have helped us successfully develop the projects and
intellectual contributions highlighted below. We’re excited to continue
the effort with you in 2018.
