​​ODSC INDIA 2019

What kind of reality is it?

The first week of August moved on. It’s marked by one of the biggest specialized data science events. It’s called ODSC India, which was mostly about AI and ML. It is what to expect, what is ordained from the future of 2020.

Jared Lander, Chief Data Scientist at Lander Analytics, talked about key concepts of ML and AI, avoiding buzzwords and technical terms. Instead, he emphasized more on how good code should look like. Speaking about the code, by the way, there were Python-dedicated workshops. With machine learning engineers participants practiced Time series analysis and forecasting using XGBoost.

During case study discussion, Yash Deo, Consultant (AI and ML) at PwC, shared how he sussed out AI as an important step to generate actionable insights from open source data.

Yash Deo also noted that it’s possible to predict the occurrence of certain events (eg. Riot's) based on information gathered from various Open Sources. What is more interesting is that now police and government are able to identify and predict potential suspicious accounts (Security use Case). Should it help to shorten a number of terrorist attacks? Time will show.

The conference is over. Anyway you can still make a few clicks on the agenda to get the links to some great presentations.
