His research focuses on modeling and mining brain activity in relation to cognition. Years before the NSA, he was hoping to make bleeding-edge data processing available across new fields, and he has been working on a mastermind plan building easy-to-use open-source software in Python. He is a core developer of scikit-learn, joblib, Mayavi and nilearn, a nominated member of the PSF, and often teaches scientific computing with Python using the scipy lecture notes. The Keynote: Scientist meets web dev: how Python became the language of data --------------------------------------------------------------- Python started as a scripting language, but now it is the new trend everywhere and in particular for data science, the latest rage of computing. It didn?t get there by chance: tools and concepts built by nerdy scientists and geek sysadmins provide foundations for what is said to be the sexiest job: data scientist. "In my talk I?ll give a personal perspective, historical and technical, on the progress of the scientific Python ecosystem, from numerical physics to data mining. I will discuss low-level technical aspects, such as how the Python world makes it easy to move large chunks of number across code, touch upon current exciting developments in scikit-learn and joblib, but also talk about softer topics, such as project dynamics or documentation, as software?s success is determined by people."

Message-ID: <575405E5.1070109@europython.eu> We are happy to announce that we?ve opened our second Call for Proposals. This call is limited to hot topics and most recent developments in software and technology and will run until June 12. *** Proposal Submission Page *** https://ep2016.europython.eu/en/speakers/hot-topics-cfp/ Why is there a second call ? ---------------------------- Planning a big conference is a challenge: On one hand people like to know what will be on our talk schedule to make up their mind and make travel arrangements early. On the other hand technology is progressing at enormous speed these days. So we have given this some thought and decided to split the Call for Proposals in two phases, with the second just weeks before the conference. Submit your hot topic talk -------------------------- This CFP is reserved for: * hot topics * emerging technologies * brand new developments in software & hardware * recent results in research and science Some suggestions for topics: * Exciting new hardware & Internet of Things * Robotics * Virtual Reality * AI & Deep Learning The second call will be open for nine days only: Saturday June 4th 0:00 to Sunday June 12th 24:00 CEST. The program work group will then select the most exciting and intriguing submissions and will notify the winners on short notice. Submit your poster or run a help desk ------------------------------------- Since we still have a few slots left, we are also looking for more posters and help desks - these are not limited to hot topics. Get a ticket discount --------------------- For talks, posters, help desks we will give out a 25% discount coupon valid for one conference ticket.
