🌟 Konstantina Kontoudi (DataDome)
Talk title: "From ML model debugging to bot detection - The story of Sliceline"
Abstract: In the realm of data science, innovation often arises from unexpected sources. This talk delves into the journey of open-sourcing Sliceline and repurposing it for internal use cases at DataDome. This algorithm, originally designed for ML model debugging, is used to block millions of bots every day. In this talk, we are going to briefly explain the Sliceline algorithm and showcase how it can be used to debug ML models. Then we are going to see how we can use the same algorithm to generate a large number of rules and respond to bot attacks in real-time.

About Konstantina: Konstantina Kontoudi is leading the Data Science activities at DataDome. Her activities focus on applying Machine Learning and Data Mining algorithms to cybersecurity. She holds a Ph.D. in Theoretical Physics and has worked as a Software Engineer and Data Scientist for five years in the financial and automotive industry before joining Datadome.

Get ready for lightning talks:
Many of you told us that you would like to give a talk, but your project is not mature enough.
You no longer have to worry about it. Come and practice your public speaking during the 3 minutes time-slot.
Some ideas on what you can talk about:

• Python library or function you love or which you recently discovered,
• article you've read
• your journey into Python
• conference you have attended

You can decide anytime before the start of lightning talks or you may want to prepare up to one slide (in pdf format) which you can send us the latest on the 11th of March to paris@pyladies.com

Algolia will be our host and sponsor of the food and the drinks during the networking session after the talks: thank you 💚
