Topic:
Leveraging Public Datasets and APIs using Python

Bio:
Johannes Ahlmann lives in Cork with his wife Sinead and his 6-year-old daughter. He is the CEO of Sensatus.io, and has over 15 years of experience in the IT industry as Head of Data Science at Algo Data Group Ltd., Head of Data Science at ScrapingHub and Principal Developer at Dell EMC.
He has programmed in python for almost 20 years and loves learning about new programming languages and paradigms (haskell, rust, scheme, go, scale, etc.).
He loves to spend his time in the space between data science, software development, software/ solutions architecture, and machine learning.

Abstract:
When we look for datasets for Machine Learning we often forget the wealth of information available from public APIs. We can capture Twitter data for Sentiment Analysis, Youtube data for video recommendations/ speech to text, Github data for project health classification, GDELT.org data for information extraction, or Google BigQuery datasets of reddit, stackoverflow, etc. for Natural Language Processing. Using python API libraries we can easily fetch (live) target data from APIs and use it for offline or incremental training.
