ATOM Lightning Talks

Long time no ATOM! We wanted to close the year out with a remote lighting talk event. Did you spend this year analyzing bread baking data or building a robot to do all those pesky work from home dishes? Sign up to give a lightning talk about it!

Current talks

Jim Harmon : Explainable Machine Learning
Instead of trying to figure out what black box models are doing in their innards, why not try models that are explicitly designed to be explainable? I'll talk briefly about a paper by Cynthia Rudin from Duke about exactly that kind of ML.

Hanna Landrus : Olympic Climbing Predictions
In this talk we will explore predicting the 2021 climbing olympic winners.

Robert Sherer : fastbal: a soccer story
Building a predictive model and optimizer for fantasy soccer teams

Quentin Caudron : CW with CWT: decoding Morse code from audio files with wavelets
CW ( "continuous wave", or Morse Code ), is one of the earliest digital means of communication. In this talk, we'll look at the anatomy of Morse code and use continuous wavelet transforms to turn dits and dahs into text. Lightning-fast intros to CW, Fourier space, and wavelets will be given along the way.
