What we’re about
PyData Pittsburgh is a community for data scientists, machine learning practitioners, and all professionals, students, researchers, and enthusiasts working with Python and data in Pittsburgh. Pittsburgh is an emerging tech hub, with world-class research universities, outposts of major technology companies, a dynamic ecosystem of homegrown startups, and a burgeoning robotics sector. Let's connect these dots to share ideas, learn from each other, and grow the local technology community.
Our members include researchers and tech professionals with decades of experience, novices who have yet to write their first line of code, and everyone in between. If you're interested in learning more about amazing, cutting-edge work happening with Python, data, and related technologies in Pittsburgh, you're in the right place, and you'll find a welcoming, supportive community of like-minded folks.

PyData Pittsburgh is also a node in the larger PyData network. PyData is an educational program of NumFOCUS, a 501(c)3 non-profit organization in the United States. PyData provides a forum for the international community of users and developers of data analysis tools to share ideas and learn from each other. The global PyData network promotes discussion of best practices, new approaches, and emerging technologies for data management, processing, analytics, and visualization. PyData communities approach data science using many languages, including (but not limited to) Python, Julia, and R.

PyData Pittsburgh is excited to host Jay Palat, from mpathic, for our first event of the summer. Join us on Thursday, June 19th, as Jay will talk about how machine learning is used to process conversational data.
Billions of conversations happen every day, covering topics from the banal to the mission critical. Many of these conversations are ephemeral and retained only in memories, but more and more are collected in everything from YouTube transcripts to congressional minutes to ‘this call will be recorded for quality assurance’.
Find out how we use Python and machine learning to advance clinical accuracy and quality with AI-powered oversight to enhance patient safety, streamline workflows, and ensure compliance.
About the talk:
This session is for engineers and data scientists interested in extracting info from human conversation. We’ll look at the tools available to process conversations and tradeoffs involved. We’ll talk about the challenges we’ve found in capturing, analyzing and delivering insights for conversations and some of the ways we’ve solved them for our customers' needs. We’ll look at some of the tools and techniques available in the Python ecosystem starting with regular expressions and going all the way to large language models.
Location:
We'll be gathering at COhatch Waterfront, a beautiful coworking space at the Waterfront in Homestead. COhatch coworking space has graciously provided the event space for this Meetup. We know many of our PyData Pittsburgh members work hybrid or remotely. If you are interested in learning more about COhatch coworking spaces and would like a free one day trial, please sign up here.
We want to thank COhatch for investing in our PyData Pittsburgh community!
