DATE AND TIME

  • Wed, November 2, 2016
  • 6:30 PM – 9:30 PM PDT
  • Come to the PyDSLA November Meetup to hear talks from the community!

In the last month, the organizers of the PyDSLA Meetup sent out a call for speakers, and the community answered with a number of great members coming forward willing and able to talk about some of the cool ways they are using the Python Data Science ecosystem to do cool stuff.

Talks are still being finalized, but be prepared for an evening with at least 4-5 speakers from companies ranging from OpenMail to Domino Data Lab. Keep your eyes on this event as speakers will be finalized. The current list of speakers includes (this may change before the day of the event):

  • Eduardo Ariño de la Rubia - Chief Data Scientist at Domino Data Lab speaking about Keras, deep learning made kinda easy I guess
  • Josiah Carlson - VP of Technology at OpenMail talking his recently open sourced data pipeline tool jobs.py
  • Neal Fultz - Principal Data Scientist at OpenMail
  • Roozbeh Davari -  Data Scientist at The Honest Company speaking about Embracing the Noise: Using Bootstrapping For Improving ML Model Predictions
  • Albert Hamood - Data Scientist at The Honest Company speaking about Predicting User Behavior Using Ensemble Learning
  • Annie Flippo - Sr. Data Scientist at AwesomenessTV speaking about natural language processing in python
  • Joshua Cook - Senior Python Engineer at ParkMe talking about a system for distributed processing in Python

The talks will be short punchy talks, designed to get good information disseminated in the community, and get you more productive and excited about new tools and techniques! Full speaker bios to follow!

Timeline:

  • 6:30pm arrival, food/drinks and networking
  • 7:30pm introductions, main talk
  • 8:30pm or 9 p.m. - networking and conversation

Meetups PyDSLA meetup python pandas blaze scikit-learn
Join PyDSLA for a talk by Matthew Rocklin about the high level APIs being developed for Python for expressive data manipulation and analysis. Summary: Pandas and NumPy serve us well. They give interactive high-level access to efficient low-level code. As datasets grow larger than memory this low-level code becomes obsolete but the high-level interface remains valuable. Blaze connects that high-level interface to a number of other computational systems like SQL, Mongo, or Spark, extending the scope of interactive analysis. In this talk we go over common use cases and Blaze as well as a bit of its internal design.

PyDSLA data science python dato carlos guestrin deep learning
On May 14th at the Venice Arts Center, the Los Angeles Python and Data Science communities were fortunate to hear a talk from world-renowned expert and CEO of Dato, Carlos Guestrin. Often times when you have a meetup where a presenter is tightly identified with a company, the concern is that the presentation will fundamentally become a product pitch. We had nothing to be worried about in this case - Carlos presented for nearly an hour on a wide range of subjects from how the Machine Learning pipeline has changed over time to Deep Learning!
