Talk 1) Python development in a team (like a pro) by Tomasz Czyz

LET'S STOP WASTING OUR TIME ON THOSE

• "works on my machine"

• "did you installed libz?"

• "do you have virtualenv?"

• "did you enable your virtualenv?"

• "did you updated virtualenv requirements since last commit? I changed a lot!"

• "what version of requests do you have?"

• "is it a system package or virtualenv package?"

• "did you pin requests version?"

• "did you pin your PySocks version which is requests dependency?"

• "do you have local database started and configured?"

Talk 2) An Introduction to Hidden Markov Models & the python HMMLearn library by Alice Lynch

Hidden Markov Models (HMMs) are a tool used for modelling sequential or time series data, and are extensively used in applications involving temporal pattern recognition. They have played a huge role in cutting-edge research including the human genome project, as well as in high tech tools such as voice recognition and robotics.

This talk will include a short introduction to the topic, and demo a simple example with the python HMMLearn library ( https://github.com/hmmlearn/hmmlearn )
