How Renault Leveraged Machine Learning to Scale Electric Vehicle Sales
In 2019, Renault sought a scalable solution to estimate the cost of home charging station installations for electric vehicle buyers. A machine learning solution using satellite images and a shortest-path algorithm was developed to automate this process. Despite challenges, the optimized solution was deployed as a cloud-based API, enabling Renault to scale their EV sales from 50,000 in 2019 to over 220,000 in 2022.
About the Speaker
With a PhD in Physics, Vincent Vandenbussche has over a decade of experience deploying scalable machine learning solutions for leading companies like Renault and Chanel. He is also passionate about sharing his expertise through Medium posts and his book, The Regularization Cookbook.
RGB-X Model Development: Exploring Four Channel ML Workflows
Machine Learning is rapidly becoming multimodal. With many models in Computer Vision expanding to areas like vision and 3D, one area that has also quietly been advancing rapidly is RGB-X data, such as infrared, depth, or normals. In this talk we will cover some of the leading models in this exploding field of Visual AI and show some best practices on how to work with these complex data formats!

Elasticsearch is for the Birds: Identifying Feathered Friend Embedding Images as Vector Similarity Search
Search no longer has to be a traditional term / frequency-inverse document frequency slog. The current trend of machine learning and models has opened another dimension for search, quite literally. In this talk we’ll cover “classic” search and its inherent limitations, what a model is and how you can use it.
Next, we’ll look at how to perform vector search or hybrid search using images of birds in Elasticsearch, generate embeddings from images and then use the techniques we learned to propose the most probable similar images after uploading our own image. We’ll close the talk with an overview of various enhancements to increase the performance and usability of your searches.
