Zachary Glassman (The Data Incubator)
Average rating: ****.
(4.50, 2 ratings)
Zachary Glassman leads a hands-on dive into building intelligent business applications using machine learning, walking you through all the steps of developing a machine learning pipeline. You'll explore data cleaning, feature engineering, model building and evaluation, and deployment and extend these models into two applications using real-world datasets. Read more.

Stephanie Stattel (Bloomberg LP), Paul Ivanov (Bloomberg LP)
Average rating: *****
(5.00, 3 ratings)
Stephanie Stattel and Paul Ivanov walk you through a series of extensions that demonstrate the power and flexibility of JupyterLab’s architecture, from targeted functionality modifications to more extreme atmospheric changes that require extensive decoupling and flexibility within JupyterLab. Read more.

Laura Noren (Obsidian Security)
Average rating: *****
(5.00, 1 rating)
Laura Noren offers an overview of a research project on the various infrastructure models supporting data science in research settings in terms of funding, educational uses, and research utilization. Laura then shares some of the findings, comparing the national federation model currently established in Canada to the more grassroots efforts in many US universities. Read more.
11:05am–11:45am Friday, August 24, 2018
Location: Sutton Center/Sutton South Level: Intermediate
Jackson Brown (Allen Institute for Cell Science), Aneesh Karve (Quilt)
Average rating: *****
(5.00, 3 ratings)
Reproducible data is essential for notebooks that work across time, across contributors, and across machines. Jackson Brown and Aneesh Karve demonstrate how to use an open source data registry to create reproducible data dependencies for Jupyter and share a case study in open science over terabyte-size image datasets. Read more.
11:55am–12:35pm Friday, August 24, 2018
Location: Beekman/Sutton North Level: Beginner
Ian Allison (Pacific Institute for the Mathematical Sciences), James Colliander (Pacific Institute for the Mathematical Sciences)
Average rating: ****.
(4.00, 1 rating)
Over the past 18 months, Ian Allison and James Colliander have deployed Jupyter to more than 8,000 users at universities across Canada. Ian and James offer an overview of the Syzygy platform and explain how they plan to scale and deliver the service nationally and how they intend to make Jupyter integral to the working experience of students, researchers, and faculty members. Read more.
4:10pm–4:50pm Friday, August 24, 2018
Location: Murray Hill Level: Beginner
Sean Gorman (DigitalGlobe)
Satellite imagery can be a critical resource during disasters and humanitarian crises. While the community has improved data sharing, we still struggle to create reusable data science to solve problems on the ground. Sean Gorman offers an overview of GBDX Notebooks, a step toward creating an open data science community built around Jupyter to stream imagery and share analysis at scale. Read more.
