Welcome to the PyData Ireland remote meetup series.
We will be hosting these meetups on Monday evenings at 7 pm (Irish Time) over the summer of 2020.

Topic: PyData Remote Summer MeetUp

We require you to register in advance for this webinar. Afterwards, you will receive a confirmation email with information on how to join the event and the featured password.

In case you opt for not using Zoom, this event will be streamed to Twitch (https://www.twitch.tv/pythonireland) and Python Ireland's Youtube channel.

----------

Webinar Speakers:
- Eoghan Keany - Data Scientist at Pramerica
[1] Title: Is this the Best Feature Selection Algorithm “BorutaShap”?

- Saurabh Goel - Data Scientist Manager at Pramerica
[2] Title: Categorical embeddings usage with structured data

---------

Abstracts:
[1] BorutaShap is a wrapper feature selection method which combines both the Boruta feature selection algorithm with Shapley values.
- Intro to new BorutaShap package, its benefits and how to use it;
- How to publish your own Python code.

[2] Dealing categorical variables is always a challenge for machine learning problems. Categorical embeddings is one such way of handling those variables which preserves the unknown relationships within the various categories of the variable.
- How to train a categorical embedding;
- How to extract them;
- How to use them with typical structured data algorithms like XGBOOST.

STAY TUNED!
