PyLadies + R-Ladies — Let's learn R and Python together

Event is 19:00 CEST time, as we are on Summer!

We are excited to host an event that shows us how to combine both R and Python and build a bridge across two fantastic communities! 💜

To learn more about both languages, we will also have a quiz which also comes with great prizes (sponsored by Aiven) 🥳

✨ A Tale of Two Languages ✨
In this talk, Rhian will share stories of how Jumping Rivers develop in both R and Python - often in the same project. Rhian will share how they write all of their Python training materials in R Markdown, and how they built the Diffify tool to analyze R packages in both Python and R. Rhian will also talk a little about the challenges and opportunities they have working within a bilingual team at Jumping Rivers.

About Rhian Davies
Rhian loves using statistics to help people make data driven decisions. As a data scientist at Jumping Rivers, she has worked closely with varied domain experts including physicists, psychologists, game designers and engineers.

✨ MLflow - a better way to track your models ✨
In a perfect world, you would get clean data that you will feed into a single machine learning model and voila, done. But fortunately, reality is much more interesting than a perfect world. A well-performing ML model will only be ready after a bunch of trials. You will have to try different algorithms along with a bunch of hyper parameters, different variants of your training data, and maybe even different variants of your target variable. This complex mix and match makes the challenge a fun one, but also messy to track. Solution? MLflow to the rescue.
