As Artificial Intelligence continues to revolutionize global industries\, understanding its core mechanics and future trajectory is mor e crucial than ever for aspiring engineers and developers.\n\nIn this comp rehensive technical session\, we will dive deep into the foundations of mo dern AI. Our expert speaker will break down the revolutionary Transformer architecture that powers today's state-of-the-art models. We will also exp lore Explainable AI (XAI) methodologies designed to make complex neural ne tworks transparent and understandable. Furthermore\, the session will cove r the mechanics of building autonomous systems using Agentic AI and the ar t of precise prompt engineering for smart agents.\n\nWhether you are looki ng to strengthen your academic knowledge or gain practical industry insigh ts\, this webinar will provide you with the vision to not just use AI tool s\, but to understand and engineer them.\n\nAbout the Speaker:\nThe sessio n will be led by Çağdaş Özer\, a highly experienced Senior Software En gineer\, Data Scientist\, and AI & ML Developer. He brings an impressive b ackground of over 20 years of industry experience coupled with 11 years of academic experience. He is currently a PhD Candidate in Computer Engineer ing at Istanbul University-Cerrahpaşa\, focusing his thesis on Transforme r Algorithms and Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS). Currently serving as a n Instructor at Istanbul Bilgi University\, his expertise perfectly bridge s the gap between deep academic theory and high-performance industry appli cations.\n\nSpeaker(s): Çağdaş Özer\n\nAgenda: \n19:00 - 19:10 | Welco me & Opening Remarks\nIntroduction to Işık IEEE Computer Society and pre sentation of our guest speaker\, Çağdaş Özer.\n\n19:10 - 19:30 | The M echanics of AI & Transformer Architectures\nUnderstanding the underlying e ngineering of AI algorithms and diving into the mechanics of Transformers. \n\n19:30 - 19:50 | Demystifying the Black Box: Explainable AI (XAI)\nExpl oring methodologies like SHAP to ensure transparency\, accountability\, an d explainability in AI models.\n\n19:50 - 20:10 | Agentic AI & Prompt Engi neering\nHow to build autonomous smart agents and the best practices for c reating effective and accurate agent prompts.\n\n20:10 - 20:30 | Q&A Sessi on & Closing Remarks\nOpen floor for participants to ask technical or care er-oriented questions directly to the speaker.\n\nVirtual: https://events. vtools.ieee.org/m/556862 LOCATION:Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/556862 ORGANIZER:hey@alpdurak.com.tr SEQUENCE:7 SUMMARY:Webinar: Unlocking the Power of AI - Transformer Architecture\, XAI & Agentic AI URL;VALUE=URI:https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/556862 X-ALT-DESC:Description: <br /><p>Welcome to an exclusive webinar hosted by the Işık IEEE Computer Society!
