The Women in Machine Learning & Data Science (WiMLDS) Meetup aims to inspire, educate, regardless of gender, and support women and gender minorities in the field.

We are back for a special online meetup : a joint meetup between the Dresden & Paris WiMLDS chapters!

Our meetups will keep on happening online in order to keep you safe until further notice.

All genders may attend our meetups.

Agenda

18:30 – Introduction by the Dresden & Paris WiMLDS team

18:40 – “The role of data science and machine learning to achieve sustainable mineral exploration” by Sandra Lorenz, Researcher at the Helmholtz-Institute Freiberg for Resource Technology, Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf (https://twitter.com/hzdr_dresden)

Abstract: Europe’s journey towards a sustainable and digitized future relies fundamentally on the secured supply with critical raw materials. Lithium, Rare Earths, Indium and Tungsten, to name a few, are fundamental requisites for green and smart technologies, e-mobility and the energy transition. Securing the access to such materials is one of the fundamental questions for Europe’s ambition to deliver the Green Deal. Fast, versatile and accurate but at the same time socially acceptable and less invasive mineral exploration technologies are required to meet this goal. Innovative sensors and acquisition platforms for spectral imaging allow to gain insights on the composition of materials without destroying or even touching them. The complexity, diversity and sheer amount of respective data produced in a typical exploration scenario require a joint understanding of geoscience, image processing and machine learning to retrieve geologically meaningful results in a reasonable time. The presentation will give an overview on our current research highlighting important challenges in modern mineral exploration in regards to image processing, multi-sensor data fusion, data classification and real-time processing.

19:10 – “Extreme Data Science” by Anastasia Lieva, Director of Data Science and User Performance at Comwatt

Abstract: Two decades ago Extreme Programming revolutionized software development with a set of principles and practices that help to improve product quality, user experience, efficiency and well-being of teams. In this presentation we will discuss how such a methodology can be even more important to deliver valuable and reliable Data Science products meeting ever-growing speed-to-market expectations.

19:40 - Quick interactive session
