PyData Prague #6 - Extended Automation

The 6th, already quite regular, Prague PyData meetup will take place at Creative Dock. As usual, the talks will start at 18:30 but we encourage you to come as soon as 18:00 to enjoy the opportunity to socialize and refresh yourselves (which you can continue doing during the break and after the talks). Our main goal is to build the community around Python and data and make it welcoming to people of various skills and experience levels.

⚡ If you are interested in giving a lightning talk (up to 5 minutes to present an idea, tool or results related at least to some degree to Python and/or data), please contact us before the event or at its beginning.

📢 Talk 1: Adam Hanka (Creative Dock): Automation in InsurTech and Banking 📢
Automation and artificial intelligence can bring improvements in customer experience, shorten application time and simplify the underwriting process, reduce costs and replace some tedious and repetitive human labor such as damage inspection or claim processing. How does it work in the world of finance, especially insurance and banking, both examples of the most traditional industries, posing strong resistance towards changes?
Possible future development in the industry will be demonstrated on two recent data science and machine learning projects:

• Recognition and evaluation of car damages.
• Scoring process based on structured information from social media.

📢 Talk 2: Jan Pipek (DTOne): A practical guide to designing implants for pandas 📢
The pandas library offers three approaches to user customization – class inheritance, series/data frame accessors, and extension arrays/dtypes. The talk introduces all of them shortly with real-world examples and code, while focusing on a complete implementation of physical-unit-aware data column example.
Note: This is an updated version of the talk from PyCon CZ 2019.
