The Sound of Your Footsteps can Predict for Dementia
This talk will present how one can use acoustic-based clinical gait analysis to predict onset & progression of cognitive decline as well as assess increase in risk of falls in highly frail and vulnerable demographics of the population, especially older adults who live alone and with multiple co-morbidities.
Do you know how the sound of your footsteps can be used to predict the likelihood of a fatal fall? Do you know that they can also be used to predict whether you will develop dementia in the next 6 months or so?
This talk will be a gentle introduction to the world of clinical gait analysis and how your gait (a.k.a the way you walk) is a digital biomarker for predicting physical and cognit...

How I used PostgreSQL to find pictures of me at a party: Tibs
Просмотров 28710 месяцев назад
At an event, a photographer can take many photos. Which ones do you appear in? Find out how to search for faces using Python, OpenCV, OpenAI and, yes, PostgreSQL®. Python ties it all together, and PostgreSQL's pgvector extension allows making SQL queries to find photos with my face. Nowadays, if you attend an event you're bound to end up with a catalogue of photographs to look at. Formal events...

When to rebuild things that already exist: Jacob Tomlinson
Просмотров 27210 месяцев назад
This year I built a library that already exists. The existing solutions didn’t quite meet my needs, I wanted something that ticked all of my boxes. When thinking about building something new people referred me to xkcd #927. But I did it anyway. For the last 6 years I’ve maintained dask-kubernetes, a Python library for deploying Dask clusters on Kubernetes. In that time I’ve tried nearly every P...
Well well ML is not the answer to everything: Kane Swartz

Datasets with potential to predict contaminated water are more than just numbers. They can mean the difference between drawing safe drinking water from a well and drawing unsafe levels of arsenic. This talk compares ways of generating a predictive model and addresses the ethical importance of application over technological ideology. Between 1970 and the year 2000, the United Nations Children's ...
The programmer's imagination: Daniele Procida
Просмотров 13210 месяцев назад
As creators of software, we're repeatedly told that we're not merely imagining the future of the world, but bringing it into being. Let's suppose that's true. What, exactly, are we imagining, and why does it matter? Of all our faculties, imagination is usually considered the freest, the seat of creation. I'm interested in what we are doing with this freedom, and I am suspicious of it. At the sa...
The Standard Library Tour: Mia Bajić

Tired of complex code? Python's standard library has tools to simplify your tasks! Join us for a tour of the standard library where we'll dive into less-known modules that do well-known things and well-known modules that do less-known things. The Standard Library Tour is designed to provide attendees with an understanding of Python's standard library less known features. Have you ever found you...
Fear the mutants Love the mutants: Max Kahan

Developers often use code coverage as a target, which makes it a bad measure of test quality. Mutation testing changes the game and fixes the problem. Come and learn to use it in your CI/CD process. I promise, you'll never look at penguins the same way again! Code coverage (the percentage of your code tested by your tests) is a great metric. However, coverage doesn’t tell you how good your test...
Secure Modern and Simple Dependency Management with PDM and Friends: Dom Weldon
Просмотров 79110 месяцев назад
What actually happens when you import a package? Let's find out, then explore recent packaging developments, including the new tool PDM, comparing it to pip and poetry. We'll also cover some (opinionated) best practices for handling metadata, and building secure, modern applications using third party libraries in python. Python has a rich ecosystem of open source packages available to assist wi...
The Magic of Self How Python inserts self into methods: Sebastiaan Zeeff
Просмотров 28910 месяцев назад
Have you ever wondered how self works? Whenever you call a method, self seems to magically appear as an argument. But behind this dark magic lies a well-defined protocol, the descriptor protocol, that you can implement yourself. Join me and learn how Python inserts self into methods! A phrase that I hear a lot is that “Python is easy to learn but hard to master”. In a way that’s true: Python’s ...

3 Lessons Data Scientists Can Learn from World War II: Alon Nir
Просмотров 17510 месяцев назад
We’ll revisit three stories from WWII where statisticians for the Allied forces got things perfectly right - and terribly wrong. We'll explore the flaws of averages, survivorship bias, and the German tanks problem. Drawing parallels to modern business situations, we'll discuss the takeaways for modern day data scientists. World War II, the largest armed conflict in human history, not only requi...
