PyCon SE 2015 - First day - Auditorium

Keynote of the first day of PyCon SE 2015

Robin Linderborg Target audience: Beginners A gentle introduction to data analysis and visualization in Python using the Pandas library. We will explore how to clean, restructure, analyze and visualize data sets.

Belhorma Bendebiche Target audience: Advanced users Docker is a tool that helps containerize, package and run applications in their own isolated environment, greatly simplifying the deployment process.This talk is about how we containerized some of our Python services at Spotify, the challenges faced and how we solved them.

Roelof Pieters Target audience: Advanced users Deep Learning, anyone who has followed machine learning over the past years has heard it. In this talk I will go past the hype and show what deep learning actually means and how one goes about solving complex machine learning task with a minimum amount of code, with the help of theano, an amazing python library for deep learning. I will show examples from my own research in language and vision, and hope to show that Deep Learning is not only fun, but also not as difficult as one might expect.

Hendrik Heuer Target audience: Advanced users If you convert words into numbers, you can do interesting things with them. You can compare the topics in a book, make better translations and tell if a sentence is positive or negative. Python libraries like gensim and spaCy make it easy to play with this for fun, profit or social science.

Juan Luis Cano Target audience: Beginners IPython was born as an Interactive Python shell on steroids 14 years ago, but its notebook tool is shaping the way scientists, developers and even journalists communicate and explore science. Let us examine IPython's importance in Open Science now that Nature highlighted one of its awesome features!

Julian Berman Target audience: Advanced users RPython is a language and toolchain for building interpreters, most prominently PyPy, a Python interpreter. But RPython is a powerful tool for writing interpreters for many dynamic languages. We'll learn how to write a simple interpreter in RPython by implementing a parser, bytecode compiler and VM for a small language.
