How to build a data science project in a corporate setting, by Soraya Christi...WiMLDSMontreal
"Applied data science in the industry: How to build a data science project in a corporate setting - best practices and a real-world example"
By Soraya Christina, Senior Data Scientist at Morgan Stanley
Abstract:
- Which platforms/technology to use for your analytics project and why? (Spark, Hadoop, vendor products, open source, Python, Scala, etc?)
- How to build your data science flow and what to avoid? (Occam's razor, testable and structured flow)
- How to presents results in a way business stakeholders understand them? (Making complex concepts easy to understand by business lines)
- A real-world example of a real-time failure prediction using Spark streaming and ML components.
The purpose of this talk is to present the challenges and solutions when building data science projects in a corporate environment. Generating insights for better business decision making is what drives data science projects. But working with business side by side, being able to build a reliable flow and properly communicating results and key elements are more than crucial, it is what will guarantee the success of your data science projects.
Fashion-Gen: The Generative Fashion Dataset and Challenge by Negar Rostamzade...WiMLDSMontreal
"Fashion-Gen: The Generative Fashion Dataset and Challenge"
By Negar Rostamzadeh, Research Scientist at Element AI
Abstract: We introduce Fashion-Gen, a new dataset of 293,008 high definition (1360 x 1360 pixels) fashion images paired with item descriptions provided by professional stylists. Each item is photographed from a variety of angles. We provide baseline results on 1) high-resolution image generation, and 2) image generation conditioned on the given text descriptions for 256 x 256, 3) analyzing the dataset details. We organized a competition at ECCV conference and invited the community to improve upon our baselines.
Using Feature Grouping as a Stochastic Regularizer for High Dimensional Noisy...WiMLDSMontreal
"Using Feature Grouping as a Stochastic Regularizer for High Dimensional Noisy Data"
By Sergül Aydöre, Assistant Professor at Stevens Institute of Technology
Abstract:
The use of complex models –with many parameters– is challenging with high-dimensional small-sample
problems: indeed, they face rapid overfitting. Such situations are common when data collection is expensive,
as in neuroscience, biology, or geology. Dedicated regularization can be crafted to tame overfit, typically via
structured penalties. But rich penalties require mathematical expertise and entail large computational costs.
Stochastic regularizers such as dropout are easier to implement: they prevent overfitting by random perturbations.
Used inside a stochastic optimizer, they come with little additional cost. We propose a structured stochastic
regularization that relies on feature grouping. Using a fast clustering algorithm, we define a family of
groups of features that capture feature covariations. We then randomly select these groups inside a stochastic
gradient descent loop. This procedure acts as a structured regularizer for high-dimensional correlated data
without additional computational cost and it has a denoising effect. We demonstrate the performance of our
approach for logistic regression both on a sample-limited face image dataset with varying additive noise and on
a typical high-dimensional learning problem, brain image classification.
Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.

Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical FuturesBhaskar Mitra
The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.

GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work. He comes with around 20 years of solution engineering experience in application security, software continuous delivery, and SaaS platforms.

"Impact of front-end architecture on development cost", Viktor TurskyiFwdays
I have heard many times that architecture is not important for the front-end. Also, many times I have seen how developers implement features on the front-end just following the standard rules for a framework and think that this is enough to successfully launch the project, and then the project fails. How to prevent this and what approach to choose? I have launched dozens of complex projects and during the talk we will analyze which approaches have worked for me and which have not.
