Traning | Data Vizualization | ML for Programmers | Beginner-Intermediate
This workshop will take one through the steps associated with an end-to-end machine learning campaign: data retrieval; data curation; model construction, evaluation, selection and interpretation; and reporting. Particular attention will be paid to reporting, i.e., building a narrative. Examples will be presented demonstrating how one might generate multiple output formats (e.g., HTML pages, presentation slides, PDF documents) starting with the same code base.
The workshop will have three main foci:
1. infrastructure: instantiating the computational environment; loading packages; loading data
2. computation: data curation, transformation, and analysis; model construction, evaluation, and interpretation
3. communication: creating tables, charts, and graphs; weaving all components into data narrative…more details

In the last ten years, there have been a number of advancements in the study of Hamiltonian Monte Carlo algorithms that have enabled effective Bayesian statistical computation for much more complicated models than were previously feasible. These algorithmic advancements have been accompanied by a number of open source probabilistic programming packages that make them accessible to programmers and statisticians. PyMC3 is one such package written in Python and supported by NumFOCUS. This talk will give an introduction to probabilistic programming with PyMC3. No preexisting knowledge of Bayesian statistics is necessary; a working knowledge of Python will be helpful…more details
Talk | ML for Programmers | MLOps & Data Engineering | Beginner-Intermediate
Kubernetes & container platforms provide desired agility, flexibility, scalability, & portability for data scientists to train, test, & deploy ML models quickly, without IT dependency. The session will provide an overview of containers and Kubernetes, and how these technologies can help solve the challenges faced by data scientists, ML engineers, and application developers. Next, we will review the key capabilities required in a containers and kubernetes platform to help data scientists easily use technologies like Jupyter Notebooks, ML frameworks, programming languages to innovate faster. Finally we will share the available platform options (e.g. Red Hat OpenShift, KubeFlow, etc.), and some examples of how data scientists are accelerating their ML initiatives with containers and kubernetes platform…more details

The talk aims to introduce the attendees to the application of computer vision techniques to overhead imagery such as satellite, aerial and drone imagery. The emphasis is on object detection on satellite images as we share our learnings from dealing with those datasets (such as the xView Object Detection Challenge). The attendees will learn about challenges common in such datasets, such as scale variance and images with more than three channels, as well as approaches to address them and the results of our experiments. The session will also introduce datasets available in the growing field of CV on remote sensing data, as well as various use cases in disaster relief, refugee tracking, animal population counting, geospatial intelligence for business decisions and defense. The attendees will walk away with a good grasp of what is possible when machine learning at scale is applied to geospatial data…more details
Talk | Machine Learning | ML for Programmers | Intermediate
The manufacturing industry is going through it’s IV industrial revolution where machines are connected, and data is harvested to discover deeper insights and solved problems to achieve a competitive edge in the market. There are various applications in industry 4.0, such as machine connectivity, machine productivity monitoring, predictive maintenance, predictive quality, inventory optimization, supply chain optimization, data discovery, and the possibilities are unlimited. Hence, there is a significant need for more reliable and robust approaches to achieve the benefits of various applications. By integrating the philosophy of lean manufacturing and “A small success eventually leads to bigger success,” one case of predictive maintenance (PdM) led to a global scale implementation by developing new technologies using ML & DL models and deploying them on an industrial scale. This case study discusses different levels of analytics, basics of predictive maintenance, anomaly detection, remaining useful life prediction techniques, combining data and SME knowledge, ML models, and how they can be deployed in manufacturing for different use cases. This case study also discusses various modeling and deployment challenges of implementing predictive maintenance in manufacturing…more details
Workshop | ML for Programmers | Open-source | Beginner-Intermediate
From a consumption perspective, we discuss how to work with the httr, curl, and jsonlite packages. We show examples of constructing API requests, submitting them, and working with the responses. We discuss tips and tricks to optimize the workflow.
to interface with web REST APIs for many purposes.
From a command & control perspective, we discuss several packages included in the cloudyr (http://cloudyr.github.io/) project, which allow you to manage and execute tasks in the cloud. We show examples of creating resources and augmenting your data using APIs.
Last, we discuss the plumber R package, which allows users to expose existing R code as a service available to others on the Web. We discuss how to take models and functions and expose them as APIs so others can use them…more details
