June Members Talk evening
Details
Join us for PyLadies Berlin's upcoming talk evening event. Don't miss out on this chance to be part of our community of women developers empowering each other in the world of technology startups.
In this members' talk evening held in-person and online, we will have an introduction from our sponsor Babbel and 2 very insightful talks for you 🥳
✨ Fateme (she/her) - Retrieval-Augmented Generation
Level: Beginner to programming
👩💻 Fateme Kamali is a Data Scientist at DHL Data & Analytics team. Fateme got a PhD in Astrophysics, and have a few years of experiences working on diverse data science projects, both in academia and industry.
💡 Laura Summers (she/her) - Sweet Summer Child Score
Sweet Summer Child Score is an open-source library to identify potential AI harms. A truism in tech is that we're good at asking "can we do it", but not "should we do it". Attempting to tackle the latter, this library offers a system scan to quickly identify potential harms, and build the capability of relative risk assessment.
SSCS does not explore the specifics of your stack or technical implementation -- instead it takes a step back to look at the ecosystem your technology will be deployed in, and the implementation choices which define the seam between your system and the broader world. Put simply, this is an attempt to see the forest, not the trees.
The project and GitHub repos are online at https://summerchild.dev"
Level: Beginner to the domain (already familiar with Python)
👩💻 Laura is a very technical designer™️. She's the founder of Debias AI, (debias.ai) and the human behind Sweet Summer Child Score (summerchild.dev), Ethics Litmus Tests (ethical-litmus.site), fairXiv (fairxiv.org), the Melbourne Fair ML reading group (groups.io/g/fair-ml). Laura is passionate about feminism, digital rights and designing for privacy. She speaks, writes and runs workshops at the intersection of design and technology.
