19:15 - OpenCV Essentials: From Basics to Small Projects, by Irina Nikulina, Senior ML/CV Engineer.
Abstract: This presentation offers a practical introduction to OpenCV, one of the most widely used libraries for computer vision in Python. We'll explore essential tools and techniques useful for data scientists and engineers, and walk through two hands-on projects that demonstrate how OpenCV can be applied to real-world visual tasks.

19:45 - Survival Models: Proper Scoring Rule and Stochastic Optimization with Competing Risks, by Julie Alberge, phd Student in SODA team, at inria Paris Saclay.
Abstract : When dealing with right-censored data, where some outcomes are missing due to a limited observation period, survival analysis focuses on predicting the time until an event of interest occurs. Multiple classes of outcomes lead to a classification variant: predicting the most likely event, an area known as competing risks.

Here, we present a new strictly proper separable scoring rule to handle competing risks. Then, we propose SurvivalBoost, a gradient boosting trees implemented with the previous loss that outperforms 12 state-of-the-art models across several metrics, both in competing risks and survival settings, and with faster computation times compared to existing methods.

20:15 - To come!, by Aurélie Giard-Jacquet, AI practionner and tech podcaster
