THE TALKS

Mastering LLM Workflows: Benchmarking, Tools, and Best Practices - Patrick Callery (he/him)

Having worked helping businesses adopt LLM workflows such as RAG pipelines and function calling, a common challenge is benchmarking and measuring how well the application is performing. This talk aims to explore some of the existing open-source tooling to help with this and look at some best practices when building out such applications.

Patrick is a Machine Learning Engineer at Brainpool.ai with experience in productionising machine learning systems and AI applications focussing on MLOps and integrating software engineering best practices into the domain of ML.

BI on a budget - Shaun Hide (he/him)

Modern BI tools such as Tableau and PowerBI come with extensive functionality but also a substantial cost per head for organisations. This talk aims to explore the intricacies of adapting streamlit to offer a flexible, functional and budget alternative to modern BI tools.

Shaun is Head of Data Science at DailyFeed with experience in solving end to end data problems, often on a budget! His previous experience has spanned leveraging Databricks to deliver a data science feature store and churn models at TalkTalk to interrogating transactional data at card linked offer company, Reward.
