Christopher Grainger - BOOST YOUR DATA TEAM'S PRODUCTIVITY WITH EXPLORER

At Amplified (https://www.amplified.ai), Chirstopher Grainger has built powerful tools that help his customers (e.g. patent attorneys) make sense of millions of patent records, issued from all over the world, in very little time. Behind the scenes Amplified uses some cutting-edge functionality enabled by LLMs, together with a bunch of traditional machine learning techniques that do a lot of the heavy lifting.

One piece of their stack that is easily overlooked, but surprisingly useful for working with large datasets, is the Explorer library, of which Chris is the author. In this talk, he'll give a quick overview of what it does, and what makes it useful, before ripping out a livebook and showing us what it all looks like in practice.

Join us if you're keen to learn more about useful, real-world applications for data wrangling in Elixir.
