[Baypiggies] Thursday's talks: Data Formats and PyMC3

[Jeff Fischer]

*Thursday April 22 7:00 PM (online)*
This month we will have two talks:

   - Glen Jarvis will present "Beginners' Guide to Data Formats: JSON, XML,
   and YAML"
   - Raul Maldonado will present "Introduction to PyMC3"


*Beginner's Guide to Data Formats: JSON, XML, and YAML*
Reviving the famous "newbie nugget" format, Glen will compare and contrast
the most popular data formats used in Python applications, along with their
associated Python APIs.

*Speaker Bio: Glen Jarvis*
Glen is a co-organizer of BayPiggies and long time Python developer. He is
a professional in the fields of DevOps, Bioinformatics, and Web
Technologies.

*Introduction to PyMC3*
PyMC3 is a python package for Bayesian statistical modeling and
probabilistic machine learning. In this session, we will go over the
background of Bayesian statistics and introduction into using the PyMC3
package for such scenarios.

Moreover, we will discuss what is coming up in the probabilistic
programming ecosystem.

*Speaker Bio: Raul Maldonado*
Raul is a Data Analyst residing in San Francisco, CA. He specializes in SQL
Python, BI, and other related responsibilities. Additionally, he spends his
time creating technical side-projects and volunteering in the intersection
of Data and Technology/Coding.
