What we’re about
Data engineering is taking the world of data science by storm. More and more organizations are looking to keep the entire data pipeline in-house, starting with ETL and ending with a usable, final product - [https://odsc.com/](https://odsc.com/)
At ODSC, we aim to bring together the open source and data science communities with the goal of helping our members learn, connect, and grow. With this group, we aim to solely focus on everything data engineering, as opposed to the greater data science and AI industry.
These meetups are designed to bring together the people that work on various parts of the data engineering workflow, ranging from those who work on extracting and cleaning data, to those at the end whose goal it is to sell a product, and everything in between. We will work with meetup groups, non-profits, and other organizations to present informative lectures, workshops, code sprints, and networking events to help grow the use of data engineering workflows, tools, processes, and products.
As such, our specific goals are:
1. Build a collaborative group to work with other Meetup groups, non-profits, and other organizations.
2. Promote the use of open-source languages and tools amongst data engineers and their teams.
3. Host educational workshops.
4. Spread awareness of new open source languages and tools that can be used in data science.
5. Contribute back to the open source community.
Who is this meetup for?
• Data engineers, machine learning engineers, and even decision makers looking to implement data engineering tools.
• R, Python and other software engineers who work with data or want to learn
• Data visualization developers and designers
• Non-technical team leads, executives, and other decision makers from data centric startups and large companies looking to utilize open source tools

Pre-registration is REQUIRED.
Add to your calendar - https://hubs.li/Q031q6rj0Time-series data permeates our world, pulsing through financial markets, meteorological patterns, sensor networks, and countless other domains. Despite their ubiquity, generative AI techniques for time-series remain far less explored compared to the well-established approaches in language, image, and audio processing.
This presentation delves into the cutting-edge landscape of foundation models for time-series analysis. We will explore specialized neural architectures designed to unravel the complex temporal dynamics of sequential data and demonstrate how open-source models can unlock powerful predictive capabilities and insights.
Speaker: Stefan Webb PhD, Developer Advocate at Zilliz
Prior to this, he spent three years in industry as an Applied ML Researcher at Twitter and Meta, collaborating with product teams to tackle their most complex challenges. Stefan holds a PhD from the University of Oxford and has published papers at leading machine learning conferences such as NeurIPS, ICLR, and ICML. He is passionate about Generative AI and is eager to leverage his deep technical expertise to contribute to the open-source community.
