- Making a chatbot with huggingface.
By: Joshua Herman
This will be a tutorial based talk with a demo at the end on how to use
conversational language models to make an interactive chatbot. The models
that we will use are Blenderbot from Facebook Research and distilbert from
google research / huggingface. We will also use Transformers from
Huggingface which is an easy to use packaging and API for the above systems
and also go over using speech recognition and text to speech to make
interaction more fluid. At the end there will be an interactive demo.
- PyScript - Python in the Web Browser
By: Jeff Glass
PyScript <https://pyscript.net/> is a framework that allows users to
create rich Python applications in the browser using HTML and the power of
Pyodide, WASM, and modern web technologies. With Python running entirely
within the browser-window, users can easily deploy Python scripts and
applications with simple static hosting. In PyScript, Python can
interoperate with existing JavaScript frameworks to leverage the vast world
of existing web UI and visualization tech. And conversely, existing key
Python libraries like numpy, pandas, open-cv, and more can be run - and
their results beautifully displayed - in a zero-install environment for end
users.
Following this talk, attendees will be able to use PyScript in integrate
Python directly in a webpage, integrate Python and JavaScript togther in
the browser, and understand the fundamental challenges of running Python in
a browser context.
