Speaker: Arun Vishwanathan ((https://www.linkedin.com/in/arun-vishwanathan-16b56917/)) Title: Identifying Potential Test Reductions Using Pytest and AST Analysis Abstract: Test matrix explosions are a growing challenge in modern software testing, especially when using parameterized tests in machine learning pipelines. This talk presents a hybrid approach that combines Python's Abstract Syntax Tree (AST) analysis and Python's Test Framework parameterized testing to identify potential redundancies. By strategically trimming the test matrix, we can achieve quicker testing and faster turnarounds.

He shows that today’s agents aren’t just “smart autocomplete” but self-directed ideators, experimenters, analysts, and creators. Drawing on his recent publications, he argues that AI agents already deliver end-to-end autonomy: how aiXplain autonomously refine Agentic AI workflows via continuous LLM-driven feedback loops, ideate and implement enterprise Agentic AI use-cases, and derive actionable business insights from enterprise data—producing executive-ready reports without human intervention. ...

Agentic AI represents a paradigm shift in artificial intelligence, moving beyond static models and reactive systems to dynamic, autonomous agents capable of setting goals, making decisions, and adapting over time. Unlike traditional AI, which passively responds to inputs, agentic AI can plan, reason, and act in complex, real-world environments—making it especially suited for the demands of modern healthcare. ...

Interior monitoring systems in passenger cars are becoming increasingly vital, driven by two primary factors: (i) stringent legal and regulatory mandates, and (ii) the increasing autonomy levels (L2+). The "child left behind" scenario is already governed by legal provisions in the United States and Europe, with anticipated global adoption. Despite being a prominent solution, camera-based monitoring encounters challenges such as limited line of sight and variable light conditions. Future interior monitoring solutions also target health monitoring for both drivers and passengers, focusing on areas like drowsiness detection, respiration, and heart rate. This presentation explores complementary approaches to camera-only systems, emphasizing enhanced accuracy and coverage while potentially reusing vehicular access infrastructure. Leveraging commercial ultra-wideband (UWB) radios and/or 60GHz radars, the proposed sensor system integrates advanced AI algorithms tailored to automotive standards. A technical exposition will delve into the operational mechanics of such sensor systems including a healthy competition between advanced signal processing and machine learning based approaches (recipient of several best paper award nominations). The presentation will be complemented by a demonstration featuring automotive applications (video), offering a comprehensive insight into the evolving landscape of interior monitoring technology for passenger cars.
