PyDSLA Video: Carlos Guestrin, CEO of DATO

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!

We were incredibly fortunate to have DataScience.LA community member Carl Mullins record the meetup, as well as heroically recover it in the face of data loss. (Thanks, Carl!)

Enjoy watching Carlos’ presentation, and we’re looking forward to seeing you at our next meetup!

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.

Python Data Science Meetup: Data Science with Python

I’m pleased to announce the first event of our new Python Data Science LA meetup, started by two of us here at DataScience.LA (our very own Szilard and Eduardo). We’ll have 5 speakers at this event, covering various aspects of the Python Data Science ecosystem (NumPy, SciPy, pandas, matplotlib, scikit-learn, NetworkX, NLTK, IPython notebook, etc.)

Announcing the New Python Data Science LA Meetup Group

·2 mins
I am excited to announce that we are starting a new meetup group - Python Data Science LA - to serve the needs of the LA data science community using Python! At an earlier Data Science/Machine Learning meetup we conducted an informal survey on tools for Data Science which showed that a large majority of data scientists use R or Python, with R taking a slight lead. (I know, those attending the meetups bias the results towards open source tools.)
