Welcome to the PyData Berlin May meetup! We would like to welcome you all starting from 18:00. There will be food and drinks. The talks begin around 18.30 and the doors will close at 18:45. **Make sure to arrive on time!** Please provide your first and last name for the registration because this is required for the venue's entry policy. If you cannot attend, please cancel your spot so others are able to join as the space is limited. **Host**: **GetYourGuide** is excited to welcome you to this month's version of PyData. \*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\* The Lineup for the evening **Talk 1: Text2SQL in the Wild — Agentic Workflows & Semantic Models on Customer Data** **Abstract**: Translating a business user's natural language question into a reliable SQL query has huge value for business analysts, but doing it accurately at scale, on messy enterprise data, for complex queries, is incredibly difficult. This talk walks through a production Text2SQL system built on four pillars: semantic models built on customer data, RAG-based semantic search, an agentic verification and correction loop for building the SQL, and an evaluation framework for the entire process. Raw schema information is not enough for text2sql to work. Rather, thorough documentation including business metrics, synonyms, and qualified example queries, are required. We'll cover how to automate this documentation pipeline by mining query logs, generating descriptions with LLMs, and organizing everything into a knowledge graph and vector search index. From there, we'll dive into the agentic flow that takes a user question and iteratively generates, validates, and fixes SQL against a live database. The agentic framework analyses syntax errors and execution results to help it fix the SQL. Participants will leave with practical takeaways on RAG architecture for structured data, agentic retry patterns, and how to think about evaluation for Text2SQL systems in production. **Speaker**: Oren Matar **Bio**: Oren Matar is a principal data scientist and algorithms developer, with a background in social sciences and Bayesian methods. He specializes in NLP and time series forecasting, as well as agentic methods for data retrieval and processing. **Talk 2: Interpreting and Communicating Statistical Models** **Abstract**: Extracting actionable insights from complex statistical models remains a challenge, as raw coefficients are often uninterpretable due to nonlinearity, interactions, or hierarchical structures. This talk introduces a unified framework for model interpretation based on the principles of the Marginal Effects project ([https://marginaleffects.com/](https://marginaleffects.com/)). We move away from internal model parameters toward quantities of interest, such as marginal effects and adjusted predictions that translate statistical output into the "natural language" of the data. We will demonstrate these concepts in Python using the Bambi interpret module, showcasing a seamless workflow for interpreting Bayesian models built on PyMC. The audience will learn how to use the four primary interpretative pillars: Predictions, Comparisons, Slopes, and Marginal Means to compute average marginal effects and visualize conditional relationships. By the end of this session, you will be equipped to turn sophisticated GLMs and multi-level models into clear, rigorous narratives that are easily communicated to stakeholders. **Speaker**: Juan Orduz **Bio**: Juan is a Mathematician (Ph.D. Humboldt Universität zu Berlin) and Principal Data Scientist at PyMC Labs. He is interested in interdisciplinary applications of mathematical methods. In particular, time series analysis, Bayesian methods, and causal inference. **Lightning talks** There will be slots for 2-3 Lightning Talks (3-5 Minutes for each) between the two main talks. Kindly let us know if you would like to present something :) \*\*\* NumFOCUS **Code of Conduct** THE SHORT VERSION Be kind to others. Do not insult or put down others. Behave professionally. Remember that harassment and sexist, racist, or exclusionary jokes are not appropriate for NumFOCUS.

Join us for Sharp Objects by Gillian Flynn! Fresh from a brief stay at a psych hospital, reporter Camille Preaker faces a troubling assignment: she must return to her tiny hometown to cover the unsolved murder of a preteen girl and the disappearance of another. For years, Camille has hardly spoken to her neurotic, hypochondriac mother or to the half-sister she barely knows: a beautiful thirteen-year-old with an eerie grip on the town. Now, installed in her old bedroom in her family's Victorian mansion, Camille finds herself identifying with the young victims—a bit too strongly. Dogged by her own demons, she must unravel the psychological puzzle of her own past if she wants to get the story-and survive this homecoming.

**Karaoke Night**: Bring your glee club friends. Enjoy a flashback to your choir days. No chorus line. It's all you baby. Sing. Shout. Scream. Lip sync if you need to. But do show up and do have a good time. **On Freestyle night** \- just bring a bottle to share\. There is NO formal wine tasting like on other weeks\. Door charge is $10 \(cash or Venmo only please\)\. We may have some left over wines to clear out\! Glasses are provided\. Take Care\. See you there\. **Parking**: There are several public parking lots near the Alive614 hall. Please be careful to NOT park in private parking lots. They do tow. Check Google maps to scope out your space. Anyone who is early could easily find a parking space on the street nearby. I am told that the Chase parking lot is safe after hours. **Glasses**: …will be provided. Please note that after the wine tasting, the EMPTY glasses need to be returned to the boxes at the service table. Please do not make me hunt down your empty glass. Please be gentle, our glasses are fragile. Uh, they are made of glass! **Food**: You are welcome to bring a snack to share. It is not required. Most people do though. If no one brings anything, there will be nothing. **Code of Conduct**: Though mostly understood, it’s still worth mentioning. We don’t have rules per se, but we highly discourage the following topics of discussion because they are likely to incite anti-social responses - Sex, Politics, Religion. Please don’t mistake this as an attempt to limit your free speech rights but rather a guide to a place and time for appropriate discussions. **After the lights go out**: After the last sip of wine, when we clean up and turn the lights out, if you still haven’t had enough of us, it is typical for a group to get together and go to a local eatery for food and/or drinks or coffee. Again, We look forward to meeting new members and reuniting with old friends. Sincerely, ***Paul Uttermohlen***, **Red 1 Realty** *Your Hilliard Wine Club Host*

Participation in the wine tastings is optional. But since you’re going, I will buy enough wine to cover you. If you bring your own wine and do not participate in the tasting you will only pay $10 to cover the door charge. **Parking**: There are several public parking lots near the Alive614 hall. Please be careful to NOT park in private parking lots. They do tow. Check Google maps to scope out your space. Anyone who is early could easily find a parking space on the street nearby. **Glasses**: …will be provided. Please note that after the wine tasting, the glasses need to be returned to the boxes at the service table. Please be gentle, our glasses are fragile. Uh, they are made of glass! **Food**: You are welcome to bring a snack to share. It is not required. Most people do though. If no one brings anything, there will be nothing. **Code of Conduct**: Though mostly understood, it’s still worth mentioning. We don’t have rules per se, but we highly discourage the following topics of discussion because they are likely to incite anti-social responses - Sex, Politics, Religion. Please don’t mistake this as an attempt to limit your free speech rights but rather a guide to a place and time for appropriate discussions. **Extra Wine**: After everyone has had their samples, we remove the pouring spouts and any remaining wine is poured freely to whomever wants it. I hate having leftover wine. **Queen of Hearts**: The Queen of Hearts raffle is a fundraiser for the club and a Barnum and Bailey type extravaganza - minus the dancing ponies, clowns, and actual circus. Bring your ***cash*** as the Queen does not accept American Express or other plastic. **After the lights go out**: After the last sip of wine, when we clean up and turn the lights out, if you still haven’t had enough of us, it is typical for a group to get together and go to a local eatery for food and/or drinks or coffee. Again, We look forward to meeting new members and reuniting with old friends. Sincerely, ***Paul Uttermohlen***, **Red 1 Realty** *Your Hilliard Wine Club Host*

In this session we'll explore strategies to protect our codebases through unit and integration testing, documentation, and code review along with additional ways of providing context and guard rails to our AI agents as they carry out the work we've assigned them to do. By the time we're done, you'll have a firm grasp of the problem and understand some helpful options for protecting your codebase from vibe coding mishaps getting YOLOed into prod. **YouTube Link** https://youtube.com/live/BltmWMH1zG0?feature=share
