This talk explores the engineering lessons behind coordinating narration, image generation, captioning, rendering, review, repair, and publishing as one structured workflow. Using sanitized interface views and finished-media examples, Tyrell R. Towle, PhD, will discuss deterministic orchestration around probabilistic models, interchangeable local AI backends, artifact logging, targeted reruns, and the practical strengths and risks of building substantial software with AI coding tools. Lightning talk: Learning Python: A Resource Overview Speaker: Ben Stickley Description: I'll be reviewing a few different websites and resources that are free or cheap for learning python and a little bit about some of the AI options that those sources have: Datacamp MIT OpenCourseWarehouse Udemy, 100 days of Python Kaggle Seattle Public Library O'Reilly book access Talk #2: Aging in Pandas: Building a Biological Age Clock from Public Health Data Speaker: Ramkumar Hariharan Description: "How old are you?"
