TALK 1:

An Introduction to Fraud Detection using Machine Learning by Nabanita Roy

TALK 3:

From Jupyter to production-code, an easy conversion path by Lais Carvalho

(10 mins) Jupyter notebooks are great for EDA (Exploratory Data Analysis). The issue starts when one needs to convert those functions to production-code. Scripts quickly get messy and reproducibly stops being an easy achievable thing. In this LT I will show you how to start your EDA with Kedro and how easy it is to convert it all to nodes with an easy-frictionless conversion.
