*What:*
- *How to install Anaconda*
By: Kevin Nasto
Experience Level: Novice
Ever want to avoid installing Python packages with complex dependencies
such as sklearn? Ever have permissions issues installing a package? Anaconda
is the answer. This talk describes why use it and how to get it set up.
- *Machine Learning and Deduplication*
By: Forest Gregg
Experience Level: Intermediate
Machine learning and record linkage: Finding duplicates or matching data
when you don't have primary keys is one of the biggest challenges in
preparing data for data science. At DataMade we have built a python, open
source machine learning library to help developers, and a product Dedupe.io
to help everyone else. We describe the problem and how we use machine
learning to scale to tens of millions of records.
- *Why python is the best first programming language and here is how to
make it even better*
By: Jhankar Mahbub
Experience Level: Novice
Meet Simon! He doesn't have a technology background, but he wants to be
a programmer. Should he go to a boot camp with 17k or read 29,900,000
options provided by Google when he searched "Learn Python". Or he can join
ChiPy mentorship program. While all of these will work, I would like to
make his journey bit more enjoyable by presenting a more natural,
friendlier, and a more interactive way to learn programming concepts. In
this talk, we will look at functions, for loops, list comprehensions, and
generators in a way that is easy for people like Simon to understand and
use.
