The One About Spatial & Edge AI

What changes when AI has to work in the physical world?

From making reliable decisions over spatial data to running models with limited compute, bandwidth, and training data, join practitioners and researchers as they share the trade-offs behind building AI for real-world and edge environments.

More About the Speakers

Germayne Ng has more than a decade of experience building high-impact and scalable data science capabilities across ride-hailing, on-demand services, and healthcare. He currently serves as Head of Cartography Data Science at GoTo Group, where he oversees data science work across mapping, including arrival-time estimates, food preparation-time predictions, and pickup-point recommendations. His team also builds and maintains the mapping infrastructure behind these services, covering roads, points of interest, and AI pipelines that keep map data accurate and up to date.

Joshua Choo is a Data Scientist on the Cartography team at GoTo Group, where he works on maintaining accurate map data for routing and arrival estimates behind food orders. Roads change, shops close, and new ones open; much of his work involves ingesting data from multiple sources and modalities, using machine learning and AI to maintain an accurate map at scale. Before moving into mapping, he spent several years as a researcher at the intersection of cybersecurity and machine learning.

Alex Low is a Technical Lead at KLASS Engineering & Solutions Pte Ltd with over 10 years of experience delivering complex AI, embedded systems, and system integration projects from concept through deployment. His work spans engineering execution, system design, and stakeholder alignment, with experience leading multidisciplinary teams, defining MVPs around real-world constraints, and delivering field-ready solutions across complex, multi-stakeholder environments. Notably led the development and deployment of embedded sensing systems for disaster response operations during an international field deployment in Myanmar.
