# Summary

## Replacing MATLAB in Signal, Speech, Image and Video Processing

Speaker: Dr. Senthilkumar R

In this talk We are going to discuss about,

1. What are the signal processing algorithms implemented using Python ?
2. What are the speech processing libraries available in Python ?
3. Different image and video processing techniques, possibilities using Python and its libraries.

## Discussing about a web project and the issue I am facing in it.

Speaker: Lt Col CR Sundar

1. The project is for an engineering company manufacturing parts using NC machines which receives requests for quotations from customers.
2. Customers will upload the design and the material they want the part to be made in.
3. On receipt of request the program must automatically generate quotations.
4. The main issue is opening the design file and getting volume of the part and volume of raw material required.
5. We can discuss the possibilities of how this can be done in python.

## Using Global variables in Flask

Speaker: Rengaraj D

Recently I used a global variable in flask. When i shipped the project to production it was not working as expected. This talk will explain what will happen if you use global variable and it scope in a python application using flask.

## Intro to Ray, a framework for distributed computing

Speaker: Krishna Sangeeth

Ray is a framework for distributed computing, there is a python binding available for it, I can speak about some of the core ideas related to Ray.

## How I will be using ML in my Movie recommendation and social networking website.

Speaker: Sonam Pankaj

Bingeman is a website that allows you to recommend and review movies to your friends, Django as a backend. we will be discussing on using unsupervised learning to make recommendation better

## Floating Point Pitfalls

Speaker: Vijay Kumar

In this talk, we will discuss some of the pitfalls in using the float type, and provide a brief overview of alternatives to floats.

## 3 good reasons you should buy a ticket to PyCon India

Speaker: Abishek Mishra

## Test-Driven Teaching (TDT) in Python

Speaker: Ashok Bakthavathsalam

Can TDD and Python be used to reveal solutions to exercises to novice programmers in a low cognitive load mode? Of course!

I shall demonstrate this via a free open-source online tool for a simple exercise (https://j.mp/middleChennai). The tool also helps facilitate a group learning environment that is quite effective.
