Abstract

Polari: Lightning-fast text analytics by Tom Burdge.
`polars` is a popular DataFrame library with a lovely syntax. After a lightning-fast introduction to `polars`, this talk will focus on `polars`'s ease of extensibility. With a convenient plugin system, anyone can write an extension to `polars`. Perhaps you want to find the closest city to a location, or predict the future for 500 time series. All of this is possible with `polars` extensions. `polari` is one such plugin, which can perform text-analytics on natural language text.
