A Scalable Approach to Collaborative Data Science in Classified Environments PyData 2022-11-16 | The United States is home to many of the world's leading data scientists, some of whom are employed directly by the federal government. However, the tools necessary for designing, coding, and executing analytical algorithms do not inherently meet the demanding security requirements necessary for existing within a classified environment, thus limiting the capability of government data scientists. Yet, as the technological landscape within the federal government pivots toward modern software development practices, such as those cited in the Department of Defense's DevSecOps Reference Architecture, the ability to integrate such tools into container-based CI/CD workflows begins to transition from dream to reality. This talk highlights some of the tools, processes, and strategies for aligning toward this new trajectory from the perspective of a DevOps and Data Science team. Talk given by Derek Whitley
The Beauty of Zarr PyData 2022-11-16 | In this talk, Sanket Verma will be talking about Zarr, an open-source data format for storing chunked, compressed N-dimensional arrays. This talk presents a systematic approach to understanding and implementing Zarr by showing how it works, the need for using it, and a hands-on session at the end. Zarr is based on an open technical specification, making implementations across several languages possible. Sanket will mainly talk about Zarr’s Python implementation and would show how it beautifully interoperates with the existing libraries in the PyData stack.
Knowing what you don’t know matters: Uncertainty-aware model rating PyData 2022-11-16 | This talk will equip you - a Data Scientist or a person working with Data Scientists - with the background and tooling necessary to rate models in an uncertainty-aware fashion. You’ll learn to establish “best-case” and “worst-case”-benchmarks and judge your models against these. This will help you answering the question “how good is the model, and how good could it become?” in a non-defensive way, beyond merely computing standard evaluation metrics. Why is uncertainty-awareness important? Well, would you, as a Data Scientist, accept to be evaluated on reducing mean absolute error of some model by 50%? Probably not - but would you feel comfortable explaining why? This talk will establish why such generic and ad hoc goal setting is not meaningful, why model judgement is harder than expected, and how it can still be done reliably and without too many technicalities. We will exemplify uncertainty-aware model rating using the M5 competition data (Walmart sales numbers). Some immediate interpretations (“model A is clearly better than model B”) will turn out to be flawed upon closer inspection, and we’ll see how to correct them, using standard python libraries (numpy, scipy, pandas). Takeaways: - We are typically too self-confident in our skills when it comes to judging models. Instead of jumping to immediate conclusions (“that 80%-error model is bad!”), we should take a step back, build a “reasonable best case”, and benchmark the candidate against that. - Accepting and dealing with uncertainty is strength, neglecting it is madness. Uncertainty-aware model rating allows us to make reliable statements about “how good the model really is”, without “it depends” and “buts”. - Requirements from statisticians and business stakeholders can be reconciled by taking both of them seriously. Standard python tooling suffices to improve our modeling of what we know that we don't know. Talk given by Malte Tichy

Data-Centric AI Cookbook: Lets Prep that Data PyData 2022-11-16 | Data Centric AI is about iterating on data instead of models to improve machine learning predictions. Why is this trend relevant now? Is this yet another hype in data science? Or has something really changed? And most of all -- how is this relevant to you? In this talk, we'll cover the benefits of a data-centric AI approach – spoilers: increased performance is one of them! –, and cover practical tips on how you can integrate data-centric principles in your daily work. Andrew Ng once said "Data is the food for AI" when talking about data-centric AI. If that's the case, this talk will provide you with the recipes. Talk given by Marysia Winkels
Inequality Joins in Pandas with Pyjanitor PyData 2022-11-16 | Inequality joins are less frequent than equality joins, but are useful in temporal analytics and even in some conventional applications. Pyjanitor fills this gap in Pandas with an efficient implementation Talk given by Samuel Oranyeli
Expressive and fast dataframes in Python with polars PyData 2022-11-16 | The pandas library is one of the key factors that enabled the growth of Python in the Data Science industry and continues to help data scientists thrive almost 15 years after its creation. Because of this success, nowadays several open-source projects claim to improve pandas in various ways, either by bringing it to a distributed computing setting (Dask), accelerating its performance with minimal changes (Modin), or offering slightly different API that solves some of its shortcomings (Polars). In this talk we will dive into Polars, a new dataframe library backed by Arrow and Rust that offers an expressive API for dataframe manipulation with excellent performance. If you are a seasoned pandas user willing to explore alternatives, or a beginner user wondering what all the fuzz about these new dataframe libraries is, this talk is for you!

Measurement of Trust in AI PyData 2022-11-16 | For enterprises to adopt and embrace AI into their transformational journey, it is imperative to build Trustworthy AI- so that AI products and solutions that are built, delivered, and acquired are responsible enough to drive trust and wider adoption. We look at AI Trust as a function of 4 key constructs which include Reliability, Safety, Transparency, Responsibility and Accountability. These core constructs are pillars of driving AI trust in our products and solutions. In this talk, I will explain how to enable each core construct and will articulate how they can be measured in some real-world use cases. Talk given by by Shashank Shekhar
Generate Actionable Counterfactuals using Multi-objective Particle Swarm Optimization PyData 2022-11-16 | Counterfactual explanations (CFE) are methods that explain a machine learning model by giving an alternate class prediction of a data point with some minimal changes in its features. In this talk, we describe a counterfactual (CF) generation method based on particle swarm optimization (PSO) and how we can have greater control over the proximity and sparsity properties over the generated CFs.

Hadi Abdi Khojasteh - Large Scale Representation Learning In-the-wild | PyData Yerevan 2022 PyData 2022-09-20 | Hadi Abdi Khojasteh Presents:Large Scale Representation Learning In-the-wildA significant amount of progress is being made today in the field of representation learning. It has been demonstrated that unsupervised techniques can perform as well as, if not better than, fully supervised ones on benchmarks such as image classification, while also demonstrating improvements in label efficiency by multiple orders of magnitude. In this sense, representation learning is now addressing some of the major challenges in deep learning today. It is imperative, however, to understand systematically the nature of the learnt representations and how they relate to the learning objectives.In this talk, we will present a comprehensive overview of representation learning from the beginning to the modern models, contextualize these methods, and discuss the pros and cons of current evaluation methods. New era of deep learning methods that could understand simultaneously the different variety of data will introduce by its evolutions.Presentation Slides: https://pydatayerevan.aua.am/files/2022/09/Representation-Learning-Presentation.pdfwww.pydata.orgPyData is an educational program of NumFOCUS, a 501(c)3 non-profit organization in the United States.

Sona Hambaryan - A/B Testing in Production | PyData Yerevan 2022 PyData 2022-09-20 | Sona Hambaryan Presents:Being part of statistical learning apparatus, and having a strong mathematical background AB testing remains one of the aspects in the field that continue to be violated and misinterpreted. A big part of violations covers the wrong experiment setup, which I'll try to cover in practice taking into consideration the business setup: whether it's a B2B platform or B2C. It would be nice if the audience had a hands-on experience with A/B testing, if not - I'm still going to cover it on a high level. The main takeaway for the audience will be to understand the pitfalls that relay under experiment setup, where a single disregarded use case can violate the whole experiment outcome.

Liana Minasyan - Target-Based Sentiment Analysis with T5 | PyData Yerevan 2022 PyData 2022-09-20 | Liana Minasyan Presents:Target-Based Sentiment Analysis with T5The classic sentiment analysis analyzes texts, images, emojis, etc to know what other people think of a product, service, company, or event. While sentiment analysis can be considered one of the accomplished tasks of Natural Language Processing tasks, more fine-grained types of it like Target Based Sentiment Analysis(TSA) or Aspect-based sentiment analysis(ABSA) are not quite the same. In TSA we want to see the sentiment of a given text towards a particular entity(in my case person or organization). This task is one of the non-solved ones. With the T5 question answering transformer model it was possible to solve the task with results 20% higher than the current leaderboards.Presentation Slides: https://pydatayerevan.aua.am/files/2022/09/Liana-Minasyan.pptxwww.pydata.orgPyData is an educational program of NumFOCUS, a 501(c)3 non-profit organization in the United States.

Sona Hunanyan- Empirical Determinacy of Posterior Location and Scale in Bayesian Hierarchical Models PyData 2022-09-20 | Sona Hunanyan Presents:Empirical Determinacy of Posterior Location and Scale in Bayesian Hierarchical ModelsThe parameters in a statistical model are not always identified by the data. In Bayesian analysis, this problem remains unnoticed because of prior assumptions. It is crucial to find out whether the data determine the posterior parameters. In particular, it is important to learn to what extent the spread and the location of the marginal posterior distribution of the parameters are determined by the data.The R package ed4bhm allows to investigate the empirical determinacy of marginal posterior parameters, their spread, and location. During this talk, I will showcase the functionality of the package ed4bhm with an application of Bayesian logistic regression to Bacterial resistance data.In this talk, you will learn about:1. The typical problems in a Bayesian Hierarchical Model (BHM)2. The theory behind the empirical determinacy of posterior parameters in BHMs3. How to fit basic BHM in R4.

Maria Sahakyan - Explainable AI as a Conventional Data Analysis Tool | PyData Yerevan 2022 PyData 2022-09-20 | Maria Sahakyan Presents: Explainable AI as a Conventional Data Analysis ToolThe recent surge of interest in Machine Learning (ML) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) has spurred a wide array of models designed to make decisions in a variety of domains, including healthcare [1, 2, 3], financial systems [4, 5, 6, 7], and criminal justice [8, 9, 10], just to name a few. When evaluating alternative models, it may seem natural to prefer those that are more accurate. However, the obsession with accuracy has led to unintended consequences, as developers often strove to achieve greater accuracy at the expense of interpretability by making their models increasingly complicated and harder to understand [11]. This lack of interpretability becomes a serious concern when the model is entrusted with the power to make critical decisions that affect people’s well-being. These concerns have been manifested by the European Union’s recent General Data Protection Regulation, which guarantees a right to explanation, i.e., a right to understand the rationale behind an algorithmic decision that affects individuals negatively [12]. To address these issues, a number of techniques have been proposed to make the decision-making process of AI more understandable to humans. These “Explainable AI ” techniques (commonly abbreviated as XAI) are the primary focus of this talk. The talk will be divided into three sections, during which the audience will learn:(i) the differences between existing XAI techniques, (ii) the practical implementation of some well-known XAI techniques, and (iii) possible uses of XAI as a conventional data analysis tool.Presentation Slides: https://pydatayerevan.aua.am/files/2022/09/Maria-Sahakyan.pptxwww.pydata.orgPyData is an educational program of NumFOCUS, a 501(c)3 non-profit organization in the United States.

Anna Shahinyan - Cifar-10 Exploratory Data Analysis | PyData Yerevan 2022 PyData 2022-09-20 | Anna Shahinyan Presents:Cifar-10 Exploratory Data AnalysisImage classification datasets are completed from the analysis point of view, taking into account the complicated structure of images. However, the understanding of the dataset descriptors at the high level can add debugging facilities and, in early stage, predict the quality of the classification model. During this session, we will visually analyze one of the challenging SOTA datasets like Cifar-10.The datasets in AI used to contain 1000+ images. Images are matrices, and the handling of available features, missing features that can lead to AI model overfitting or underfitting. Based on visualization will predict whether we can reduce the dataset and come up with a smaller set and predict its impact on the final AI model.Presentation Slides: https://pydatayerevan.aua.am/files/2022/09/Anna_Shahinyan_16_9_pydata_2022.pdfwww.pydata.orgPyData is an educational program of NumFOCUS, a 501(c)3 non-profit organization in the United States.

Aghasi Tavadyan - The Dangers of Mindless Forecasting | PyData Yerevan 2022 PyData 2022-09-20 | Aghasi Tavadyan Presents:The Dangers of Mindless Forecasting"Prediction is very difficult, especially if it’s about the future!" This phrase is attributed to Niels Bohr, the Nobel laureate in Physics and father of the atomic model. This quote warns about the unreliability of forecasts without proper testing and about constant changes in the initial assumed conditions.With modern programming languages and convenient packages that provide ready-made modeling solutions, it is often easy to find a model that fits the past data well; perhaps too well! But does the maximization of metrics justify the means? Should the complex structures of predictions be built on the quicksand of noisy data?This talk is a laid-back discussion that will be useful for the audience from any background, from beginner to advanced. Aghasi Tavadyan is the founder of Tvyal.com, which translates to "data" from Armenian. You can find more info about him following these websites: tavadyan.com, tvyal.com.Presentation Slides: https://pydatayerevan.aua.am/files/2022/09/Aghasi-Tavadyan.pptxwww.pydata.orgPyData is an educational program of NumFOCUS, a 501(c)3 non-profit organization in the United States.
