Data Connect: North America

Join us to take part in a Learnathon about data blending, machine learning, and model deployment using KNIME based on three groups: one group working on ETL, one group on machine learning, and one group on deployment.

At the end, we will open up the virtual event area - in the form of a beach! - for you to meet other attendees and KNIMErs, and discuss. Let’s talk about your data science best practices, the tools you’re using, your research focus... Bring your topics to the beach!

We welcome new and expert KNIME users, developers, educators, and researchers to this event!

Meet the Speakers:

Corey Weisinger - Data Scientist with KNIME in Austin Texas. He studied Mathematics at Michigan State University focusing on Actuarial Techniques and Functional Analysis. Before coming to work for KNIME he worked as an Analytics Consultant for the Auto Industry in Detroit Michigan. He currently focuses on Signal Processing and Numeric Prediction techniques and is the Author of the Alteryx to KNIME guidebook.

Victor Palacios - Victor received his master's degree in data science from the University of San Francisco and is currently working in the same field at KNIME. He teaches courses on data science, machine learning, and KNIME. His initial projects and interests were in the deception detection space and also in health care, but originally his love of data science blossomed from natural language processing in the translation field.

Satoru Hayasaka - Satoru was trained in statistical analysis of various types of biomedical data. Satoru has taught several courses on data analysis geared toward non-experts and beginners. Prior to joining KNIME, Satoru taught introductory machine learning courses to graduate students from different disciplines. Satoru is based in Austin, TX.

Aline Bessa - joined KNIME as a data science evangelist with a mission to democratize data science for as many people as possible. She holds an MSc in Computer Science from Federal University of Minas Gerais (UFMG), Brazil and went on to complete a PhD at New York University (NYU), where her research focused on data quality and information retrieval.
