Ways to join COSCUP 2023

(Jul 20 Updated)

Conference for Open Source Coders, Users & Promoters (COSCUP) is one of the largest open-source technology conferences in Taiwan, attracting thousands of participants every year and providing rich opportunities for sharing experiences and exchanging ideas. 

COSCUP 2023 will take place from July 29 to July 30 at NTUST, Taipei, Taiwan. This article summarizes a few ways you may be interested in participating in this fantastic year's event. 



👉 Attend as a participant

Anyone can participate in COSCUP as an attendee, and it's totally free! As a large-scale event like FOSDEM.org, no registration is required beforehand, you can just walk in and start your journey.

Participants can attend various sessions, talks, and workshops, learn about the latest open-source technology and trends, exchange experiences, and establish connections with other participants. Checkout:

For overseas participants:

  • Language: More than one hundred talks in English we have this year.
  • VISA: contact attendee@coscup.org for assistance. 
  • Accommodation: We don't have any specific recommendations for accommodation as the event is taking place in downtown Taipei, and it's easy to reach the venue via public transport from anywhere in the city within 30 minutes. You can explore various hotels on OTA platforms of your choice or try this one (without any warranty) if you're having difficulty deciding.
  • Social event and city tour: Check out two special BoFs for you -  1. Cross community Gathering 2. Taipei City Tour
Contact attendee@coscup.org for any questions or assistance.

👉 Participate in the World of Open Source Global Spotlight 2023 Survey (closed)

You are not just an attendee this year! Take the survey before the end of June, and your contribution will be part of this worldwide open-source trend report, which will be revealed in the event this year.

👉 Become a speaker (closed)

If you are an expert or enthusiast in open-source technology, you can apply to become a speaker at COSCUP. COSCUP offers multiple tracks, including infrastructure, development, community, and more, allowing speakers to share knowledge and experience in different fields. Contact program@coscup.org if you have any questions. 


👉 Host a booth (closed)

If you are an organizer of an open-source community or support open-source as a company or organization, you can apply to become a booth host at COSCUP. Booth hosts can promote the theme of the open-source community or interact with participants and establish connections. Contact program@coscup.org (for communities) and sponsorship@coscup.org (for companies) if you have any questions. 


👉 Become a sponsor (closed)

If you are a company or organization, you can support COSCUP through sponsorship. Sponsors can receive different levels of benefits, such as opportunities to display company logos or customize promotional activities. Contact sponsorship@coscup.org if you have any questions. 


👉 Individual sponsorship

If you would like to support COSCUP, you can sponsor the conference as an individual. Individual sponsors can receive various benefits, such as COSCUP souvenirs, etc. Contact sponsorship@coscup.org if you have any questions. 




👉 Become a volunteer (closed)

COSCUP is entirely volunteer-driven. If you want to participate in the operation and organization of COSCUP, you can apply to become a volunteer. Volunteers can assist with various tasks at the conference, such as registering participants, maintaining venue orders, or assisting booth hosts, and receive appreciation and benefits from COSCUP. Contact volunteer@coscup.org if you have any questions. 


In summary, COSCUP provides multiple ways to participate and meet the needs and interests of different people. If you are interested in open-source technology, you are welcome to join COSCUP, learn, exchange, and establish connections with other participants.

鑽石級贊助商 - KKBOX 帶你打造具備 NLP 功能的 Telegram Bot (上)

打造具備 NLP 功能的 Telegram Bot(上) 最近因為一些契機學了 Python 3,用它做了一個 Telegram Bot ( GitHub 連結 ),裡面用到 NLP Service,用上下兩篇文章記錄一下實作過程還有眉角。上篇首先教大家如何做一個最基本的回聲 Chatbot,接下來我們可以透過 NLP 服務,讓 Chatbot 根據使用者不同的訊息做回答,這樣就變成更加人性化的聊天機器人囉! 使用的工具及服務: Python 3 (for develop) pipenv (for dependency management) OLAMI (for NLP) ngrok (for testing) Step 1. Creating new bot Telegram 很有趣的地方在於,與其他通訊軟體(Line、Messenger)相比,開發者管理 Bot 的方式也是透過官方提供的一位 Bot 在處理的,它叫做 BotFather (眾 Bot 之父 XD)。如果已經有 Telegram 帳號,只要加 BotFather 為好友,就可以開始管理你的 Bot。 加入 BotFather 好友後,它會親切地問候,並告訴你他能為你提供什麼服務。 I can help you create and manage Telegram bots. If you're new to the Bot API, please see the manual ([https://core.telegram.org/bots](https://core.telegram.org/bots)).

機器學習的五大實務問題:對企業的影響與相應的化解方式

Appier 首席機器學習科學家 林守德博士 正如 Jason Jennings 及 Laurence Haughton 在《以快吃慢–如何藉速度在商戰中克敵制勝》一書中指出──未來,不是大公司吃掉小公司,而是速度快的公司吃掉速度慢的公司。 從現在開始,唯有善用適當的資訊快速做出決策的企業,才能成為戰場上的贏家。 機器學習技術驅動了這場變革。無論企業是嘗試向顧客提出建議、改進生產製造流程或應對市場的變動,都能運用機器學習技術處理大量的資料,進而提高自身的競爭優勢。 然而,機器學習雖能創造大好機會,卻也同時帶來了相應的挑戰。機器學習系統需要大量的資料,以及執行複雜的運算能力。顧客期望改變、出乎意料的市場波動等等外部因素,都意味著機器學習模型的運作並不是百分之百的自動,往往仰賴許多外部的資源來作監控及維護。 此外,機器學習也有不少尚待解決的實務問題。以下將深入探討機器學習的五大實務問題,以及這些問題對企業應用會產生的影響。 1. 資料品質 機器學習系統仰賴資料進行訓練,而訓練資料在廣義上可分為「特徵」及「標籤」兩種類別。 「特徵」是輸入機器學習模型的資料,像是來自感測器、顧客問卷、網站 cookie 或歷史資訊等等。 然而這些特徵的品質可能良莠不齊。舉例而言,顧客在填寫問卷時可能會隨便填寫,或對題目略而不答;感測器可能因失靈而回傳錯誤資料;即使使用者的網頁行為明確,網站 cookie 回報的資訊也可能不完整。 此外,資料也可能包含雜訊,當無謂的資訊夾雜其中時,機器學習模型將會受到誤導而做出不正確的預測。 相較於「特徵」,「標籤」的正確性與穩定度更為重要。標籤是機器學習模型最後輸出的結果。所以需要在訓練的時間利用正確的結果教導機器學習模型。標籤的稀疏性也是個問題,這是當系統已掌握大量輸入的資料卻對輸出的結果沒有把握時出現的現象。在這樣的情況下,將難以針對該模型偵測其特徵與標籤之間的關聯性優化,甚至需要耗費額外的人力干預,將標籤與輸入資料關聯起來。 機器學習需仰賴輸入與輸出資料的關聯,才能具備足夠的泛化能力以預測未來行動並提供相關建議。因此,如果輸入資料過於雜亂、殘缺或有所偏差時,將可能難以理解某輸出/標籤的產出原因。近年來機器學習也開發出許多先進的方法如半指導式學習,轉移學習來處理這樣的問題。 2. 複雜性與品質的取捨 建立強大的機器學習模型需要大量的計算資源來處理特徵和...
