Introduction to Data Analysis Using Pandas

Working with data can be challenging: it often doesn’t come in the best format for analysis, and understanding it well enough to extract insights requires both time and the skills to filter, aggregate, reshape, and visualize it. This session will equip you with the knowledge you need to effectively use pandas a powerful library for data analysis in Python to make this process easier.This is a hands on workshop consists of lectures using Jupyter Notebooks for following along with the code and a set of exercises dispersed throughout to test each attendee’s understanding. There are more questions provided in each section than the attendees will have time to answer so that those at all levels of prior experience have a challenge. After some time, I will go over the solutions to those exercises before resuming the lecture. This tutorial is for anyone with basic knowledge of Python and an interest in learning how to analyze data in Python. We will be working with Jupyter Notebooks, so attendees should familiarize themselves with the interface(i.e., know how to run/edit a cell). beforehand.

Incorporating large language models into practical NLP workflows

In this talk, I’ll show how large language models such as GPT4 complement rather than replace existing machine learning workflows. Initial annotations are gathered by promting the model, and then corrected by a human decisionmaker using an annotation tool. The resulting annotations can then be used to train and evaluate models as normal. This process results in higher accuracy than can be achieved from the language model alone, with the added benefit that you’ll own and control the model for runtime.

spaCy LLM: Using large language models to prototype and develop language processing applications

Large language models such as GPT4 have introduced a step change in natural language understanding technology.One application for these is in an interactive chat interface, but many applications that need to work with language instead want to process and analyse textual data. Supervised components have a big advantage in efficiency and custom is ability for these tasks, but they require task specific training data. In this talk, I’ll show you how spaCy’s new support for large language models allows faster and more powerful prototyping than ever before. You can put together a custom pipeline with no training data and minimal effort to get something working almost right away. I’ll then discuss how you can build on that first effort to create applications that can deliver lasting value.
