Learn how to Efficiently Build and Operationalize Time Series Models in 2023(Workshop)
Demo Talk Session Title: Customer Success Manager and Value engineer
Abstract: Modeling time series data is difficult due to its large quantities and constantly evolving nature. Existing techniques have limitations in scalability, agility, explainability, and accuracy. Despite 50 years of research, current techniques often fall short when applied to time series data. The Tangent Information Modeler (TIM) offers a game-changing approach with efficient and effective feature engineering based on Information Geometry. This multivariate modeling co-pilot can handle a wider range of time series use cases with award-winning results and incredible performance.
During this demo session we will showcase how best-in-class and very transparent time series models can be built with just one iteration through the data. We will cover several concrete use cases for advanced time series forecasting, anomaly detection and root cause analysis.

Demo Talk Session Title: Turning your Data/AI Algorithms into full web apps in no time with Taipy
Abstract:
In the Python open-source ecosystem, many packages are available that cater to:
– the building of great algorithms
– the visualization of data
Despite this, over 85% of Data Science Pilots remain pilots and do not make it to the production stage.
With Taipy, a new open-source Python framework, Data Scientists/Python Developers are able to build great pilots as well as stunning production-ready applications for end-users.
Taipy provides two independent modules: Taipy GUI and Taipy Core.
In this talk, we will demonstrate how:
Taipy-GUI goes way beyond the capabilities of the standard graphical stack: Gradio, Streamlit, Dash, etc.
Taipy Core fills a void in the standard Python back-end stack.

Session Title: Data Observability for Data Science Teams
Abstract: When putting models into production it’s critical to know how they’re performing over time. As the last mile of the data pipeline, models can be impacted by a variety of issues, often outside the control of the data science team. “Observability” promises to help teams detect and prevent issues that could impact their models—but what is observability vs. data observability vs. ML observability? Get practical answers and recommendations from Kyle Kirwan, former product leader for Uber’s metadata tools, and founder of data observability company, Bigeye.

When putting models into production it’s critical to know how they’re performing over time. As the last mile of the data pipeline, models can be impacted by a variety of issues, often outside the control of the data science team. “Observability” promises to help teams detect and prevent issues that could impact their models—but what is observability vs. data observability vs. ML observability? Get practical answers and recommendations from Kyle Kirwan, former product leader for Uber’s metadata tools, and founder of data observability company, Bigeye.

In this 25-minute demo, we will explore the top 5 cool tricks of Delta for data scientists and discuss why your data lake should be a Delta Lake. Delta Lake is an open-source storage layer that brings reliability to data lakes by providing ACID transactions, scalable metadata handling, and data versioning. We will first introduce the concept of Delta Lake and explain how it helps data scientists to manage their data pipelines with ease. We will then dive into the top 5 cool tricks of Delta Lake, which include performance optimizations, time travel, schema enforcement, automatic data merging, and data validation. We will demonstrate these tricks using real-world examples and show how they can simplify your data pipeline and reduce your development time. By the end of this talk, you will have a better understanding of Delta Lake’s features and how it can help you to manage your data lake efficiently. You will also have learned about the benefits of using Delta Lake and why it’s a must-have for data scientists working with large data sets.

MLRun is an open-source MLOps orchestration framework. It exists to accelerate the integration of AI/ML applications into existing business workflows. MLRun introduces Data Scientists to a simple Python SDK that transforms their code into a production-quality application. It does so by abstracting the many layers involved in the MLOps pipeline. Developers can build, test, and tune their work anywhere and leverage MLRun to integrate with other components of their business workflow.
The capabilities of MLRun are extensive, and we will cover the basics to get you started. You will leave this session with enough information to:
- Get started with MLRun, on your own, in 10 minutes, so you can automate and accelerate your path to production and have your first AI app running in 20 minutes
- Run local move to Kubernetes
- Understand how your Python code can run as a Kubernetes job with no code changes
- Track your experiments
- Get an introduction to advanced MLOps topics using MLRun”
