Main Talks
1️⃣ Covid and Data Science - Alex Glaser
We have all lived with COVID and lockdown over the last few years and, no doubt, had our own opinions about the rights and wrongs about the decisions taken by the Government. This talk won’t tell you the reasons why certain decisions were made (after all there is a public inquiry for that) but I will go over some of my experiences in the Infectious Disease Modelling team in the UK Health Security Agency.
Joining during the early stages of the vaccine programme I have worked on a number of projects related to COVID and, more recently, other infectious diseases. This talk will go over some of the projects during this time, the models used, results obtained and the papers published.
2️⃣ Use animated data stories in Jupyter to present & share your findings with ipyvizzu-story - Peter Vidos
Sharing and explaining the results of your analysis can be a lot easier and more fun when you can create an animated story of the charts containing your insights. ipyvizzu-story (https://github.com/vizzuhq/ipyvizzu-story) - a new open-source presentation tool for Jupyter and similar computational notebooks - enables just that with a simple Python interface. In this talk, the creator of ipyvizzu-story shows how their technology works and provides examples of the advantages of using animation for storytelling with data.
Lightning Talks ⚡
⚡1️⃣ Transcribing unknown languages - Alessandro Puccetti
Have you ever found yourself in need of transcribing a lot of audio files in a language that you do not know and also have to track the time of each words?
This lighting talk will show how easy it was to solve this task, with surprisingly incredible accuracy, in few lines of python and Google Cloud Platform.
⚡2️⃣ Open Source is Bad - Casper da Costa-Luis
An OS dev possibly ends their career in 5 minutes or less
Logistics
Doors open at 6.30 pm (get there early as you have to sign-in via building security), talks start at 7 pm, drinks from 9 pm in the bar. We will have reduced capacity for this event but there will be plenty of people to discuss data science questions with!
Please unRSVP in good time if you realise you can't make it. We're limited by building security on the number of attendees, so please free up your place for your fellow community members!
