19:00 Accelerating ML Prototyping: Leveraging HiPlot and Patsy for Feature Engineering at the Speed of Thought

— Prayson Wilfred Daniel, Principal Data Scientist at NTT Data Business Solutions

In this informative session at PyData Copenhagen, we explore the crucial impact of Exploratory Data Analysis (EDA) in the rapid prototyping of machine learning projects, tailored for data scientists and ML engineers.

The presentation focuses on HiPlot and Patsy, transformative tools that optimize the model building and diagnostic process. HiPlot excels in offering intuitive visualization capabilities, enabling an in-depth comprehension of data distributions and interrelationships.

Patsy, on the other hand, stands out for enabling feature engineering at the speed of thought, greatly accelerating this critical phase of model development. We bring these tools to life with a real-world example: predicting apartment prices in Copenhagen.

Participants will acquire practical insights into effective EDA techniques, grasp how to fast-track feature engineering, and learn to utilize these innovative tools for improving the accuracy of predictive models. This talk is an essential guide for those aiming to enhance their data science processes, from refining existing models to initiating new machine learning ventures.

20:00 More socializing, discussing/trying what we learned
