18:30
Iana Iatsun, Project Manager for Applications with Artificial Intelligence at Banque de France, Machine learning in production: from data-scientist to the final user

Machine learning models are used more and more often in all spheres of the business world. Their creation is a challenge for data-scientists, however their integration in the final application is a challenge of the whole IT-team. ML models use the historical data that can be obsolete very fast. That’s why it is of paramount importance to be able to follow-up the ML models in production and ensure their easy deployment on a big scale.

19:00
Khrystyna Grynko, Cloud Customer Engineer at Google, My journey from Marketing to Tech

The talk will focus on how I got to a tech position at Google after working for a marketing agency; what were the challenges; and how I "learned to learn" in order to prepare myself for the interviews.

19:30
Anastasiia Tryputen, Co-founder and CTO of Data unBlocked Inc. and Myriad Tech Inc, War in Ukraine or how extraordinary courage reshapes geopolitical landscape

This presentation will explain the role of Ukraine in Europe and internationally: why Ukraine matters, essential statistics and successes, will walk through the development of the full-scale war and how heroism of every Ukrainian inside and outside of the country gained support of average people and official governments. It will show various impacts of the war and try to quantify the business scene and changes to it since the end of February 2022. Additionally, it will provide a quick suggestion on how machine learning can support the victory and future economy boost.
