PyData Pittsburgh

#PyData #Pittsburgh now has a Substack! Visit news.pypgh.org to keep up with the latest events, announcements, and updates in the #DataScience, #MachineLearning, and #Python community in Pittsburgh.

See here for more information and to RSVP! news.pypgh.org/p/machine-lear…

Join us on Tuesday for an evening of #MachineLearning Learning in #Astronomy! Ashod Khederlarian of the University of #Pittsburgh will share how state-of-the-art machine learning techniques are used to analyze vast astronomical datasets.

Only two days left to submit proposals for talks, tutorials, posters, and Charlas at #PyConUS 2025 in #Pittsburgh! The #CFP closes at the end of the day on Thursday, December 19. If you’ve been thinking about submitting something, now is the time!

Check out our recap of the talk "#DataScience for #MentalHealth Crises" as well as a bunch of announcements about upcoming major events like #PyConUS and #JuliaCon in #Pittsburgh! news.pypgh.org/p/pydata-pitts…

Join us tonight for the talk "#DataScience for #MentalHealth Crises" with Pim Welle, Chief Data Scientist at the Allegheny County DHS! We'll also share announcements about major upcoming events for the #Python and #AI community in #Pittsburgh. news.pypgh.org/p/data-science…

Want to learn about how #DataScience can be used for more than targeting ads? Want to know what it's like to work as a data scientist in the public sector? Join us next week for @pim_well's talk "Data Science for Mental Health Crises"! news.pypgh.org/p/data-science…

Check out the "AI in Product Development" panel discussion from @PDMAPittsburgh, one of our peer organizations! #Pittsburgh heavy-hitters in #DataScience and #product management will share how emerging #AI capabilities are influencing product development. news.pypgh.org/p/ai-in-produc…

The official #conference recap and talk recordings from the #PyCon US 2024 conference in #Pittsburgh are now available! See here for more: news.pypgh.org/p/official-rec… We can't wait to welcome the global #Python community back to Pittsburgh next year for PyCon US 2025!

@pghstartupnews published a nice write-up about #PyData #Pittsburgh's June event at the CMU Swartz Center for Entrepreneurship. Check it out here! pittsburghstartupnews.substack.com/p/exploring-ai…

...and special thanks to @paulisick and the @CMUSwartzCenter for hosting us in their excellent event space! You can learn more about the Swartz Center and their other programs and events here: cmu.edu/swartz-center-…

Thanks again to the more than 60 folks who joined us for #PyData #Pittsburgh's June event this week, which focused on improving neural network models with ideas from modern neuroscience. Check out the event recap and find speaker slides here: news.pypgh.org/p/pydata-pitts…

Join us *tonight* for #PyData #Pittsburgh's June event, featuring the talk "Radically improving neural networks with insights from modern neuroscience" from Dr. Rorry Brenner! We'll be meeting in person at #CMU. Food and drinks will be provided! meetup.com/pydata-pittsbu…

Want a concise, intuitive introduction to neural networks and how they work in advance of #PyData #Pittsburgh's June event next week? One of our favorite resources on the topic is the Neural Networks series from @3blue1brown! 3blue1brown.com/topics/neural-…

@3blue1brown The first five videos — focused on the structure of neural networks and the backpropagation algorithm — will be the most relevant to next week's event. The last two are an excellent introduction to the transformer architecture and the attention mechanism, too!

Special thanks to @CMUSwartzCenter for hosting the event!

In an era when most of the effort in machine learning seems to be geared toward taking a few established patterns and scaling them up, Rorry is doing something different — genuinely new and exciting ML research focused on the fundamental building blocks of neural networks.
