Build Bots on Twitter Bot using Python
This is the era of automation, we see everything is automated in the Tech World, whether you don't know how it's done. Python is the language that is widely used for this purpose. Here in this talk, we will build a twitter bot in less than 30 lines of code, that will like, and retweet a particular keyword's tweet. - By Seema Saharan |

Build a GitHub-Bot Workshop
In this workshop we’ll be building a GitHub bot that will greet contributors to your project. The bot will be built as a GitHub App which can then be installed to your GitHub repositories. We will be building a GitHub bot that can say thanks to the maintainer who installed your bot using gidgethub and aiohttp libraries. If time permits, I'll also share how you can automate other parts of your workflow with Zapier. - By Mariatta Wijaya |

Fuzzy Search Algorithms: When and How to Use Them
Fuzzy Searching or approximate string matching is powerful because often text data is messy. For example, shorthand and abbreviated text are common in various data sets. In addition, outputs from OCR or voice to text conversions tend to be messy or imperfect. Thus, we want to be able to make the most of our data by extrapolating as much information as possible. In this talk, we will explore the various approaches used in fuzzy string matching and demonstrate how they can be used as a feature in a model or a component in your python code. We will dive deep into the approaches of different algorithms such as Soundex, Trigram/n-gram search, and Levenshtein distances and what the best use cases are. We will also discuss situations where it’s important to take into account the meaning or intent of a word and demonstrate approaches for measuring semantic similarity using nltk and word2vec. Furthermore, we will demonstrate via live coding how to implement some of these fuzzy search algorithms using python and/or built-in fuzzy search functions within PostgreSQL. - By Jiaqi Liu |

NLP Contextual Word Embeddings
Language representations and embeddings are an important step in developing machine learning models for Natural Language Processing. They are used for various language problems - Named entity recognition, POS tagging, sentiment analysis or language understanding and generation. While traditional encodings to convert words and sentences to vectors were more intuitive, static embeddings were developed to incorporate a large vocabulary and corpus and eliminating the problem of sparse vectors. Since then, we’ve seen methods like word2vec, GloVe and now contextual embeddings are the norm - Elmo and now the state-of-the-art BERT. In this talk, we’ll be covering how to create these embeddings with a focus on the most recent development - BERT, using the HuggingFace Transformers Library. We shall also cover how we can obtain BERT multilingual embeddings and how these embeddings are useful in a seq2seq network - which is a specific type of neural architecture to convert sequence of words or characters to another sequence

Beyond Unit Tests: End to End Web UI Testing (or Testing google forms, and how much I hate it) Unit tests are great, but they don’t catch all bugs because they don’t test features like a user -- but Web UI tests are complicated & notoriously unreliable. How can we write tests that do the job well? Never fear! Let’s learn how to write robust, scalable Web UI tests using Python, pytest, & Selenium WebDriver that cover the full stack for any Web app:
In this talk, we'll write one simple test together that covers DuckDuckGo searching. Afterwards, you’ll know how to write battle-hardened Web UI tests for any Web app, including Django & Flask apps. Example code will be supplied on GitHub, as well as plenty of hands-on tutorials & resources to continue learning!

Programming with Lambda, Map, Filter & Reduce
Most of the time, Python is seen as object-oriented -- a style where we model our data in the form of classes, objects, & methods. But Python supports alternatives to that OOP paradigm -- Functional Programming being a very popular choice. Functions like lambda , filter, map, & reduce fully support the Functional Programming style & in this live coding session we'll demonstrate how they can be effectively & efficiently used in our data analysis tasks. Here are some good reads on Functional Programming, to get your started : |

ETL Made Simple with PySpark Apache Spark is currently one of the most popular systems for large-scale data processing - making it a standard for any developer or data scientist interested in big data. Spark supports multiple widely used programming languages(Scala, Python, R, Java) and a wealth of built-in and third-party libraries. In Session I you will be introduced to Apache Spark main concepts & you'll learn how to leverage the DataFrame API to extract data. You will also learn how to connect to different sources, apply schemas when reading data, and handle corrupt records. In session II you will be introduced to some of the most useful transformations - adding new columns, casting column types, renaming columns, etc. You'll also learn how to define User Defined Functions to do your own custom transformations & a get a little introduction to executing your own ad hoc SQL! In session III you'll analyze the robberies data by doing some aggregations & sorting. You'll learn how to convert Spark DataFrames to Pandas DataFrames. Additionally, you'll explore joins & lookup tables & write final results to CSV files. At the end of this session we'll go over best practices. - By Aida Martinez |
