Introducción a los Sistemas Recomendadores en Python

María Emilia Charnelli
CONICET, Laboratorio de Investigación en Nuevas Tecnologías Informáticas (LINTI)

Los Sistemas Recomendadores analizan patrones de interés del usuario como artículos o productos para poder proporcionar recomendaciones personalizadas que satisfagan sus preferencias. Las sugerencias intervienen en varios procesos de toma de decisiones, tales como qué artículos comprar o qué películas mirar. Para poder llevar esto adelante se deben realizar diferentes tareas.

High Performance Computing can be versatile: wrapping C and FORTRAN code into Python

Pablo Alcain
Univesidad Nacional de Quilmes - CONICET

Python language penetration in the scientific world is not only large now, but also keeps increasing at a very fast pace, due to its user friendliness and allowing the user to develop useful programs quickly. Python’s shortcomings (mainly being very slow on execution and non-threadable in its most popular implementation, cPython) are usually overcome. We present steps and exercises to do this.

Machine Learning For Search

Cristian Martinez and Manish Saraswat
OLX Group

At OLX we face the interesting challenge of connecting sellers and buyers around the world. Providing relevant search results is a key part of this, and we need smart algorithms to understand user queries and to provide personalized results. In this talk, we'll explain how we create better representations of categories, products and searches to improve recall, and how we use machine learning to generate accurate yet personalized search results.

Applied Machine Learning from Heterogeneous Data Sources

Santiago Hernandez
Jampp

In this talk we will exhibit how we leverage data from different sources, depending on its characteristics, using several approaches and algorithms in Python, to optimize automatic real time decision taking at the company. First, we will introduce the problem we have to solve. Then, the different data sources will be covered, in order to later explain four different machine learning systems to take advantage of them, an online estimator, user segmentation systems, an ensemble and a recommender system. Finally, we will showcase how we use the different systems for decision taking.

An Intuitive Introduction to Deep Reinforcement Learning

Cristian García
Toptal

How and why does reinforcement learning work, and what are its limitations? This workshop will give participants deep insights into reinforcement learning through intuitive examples. After exploring some of the theoretical background, you will apply the theory as you learn to code the famous Q-learning algorithm. At the end of the session, you will even get a glimpse of its Deep Learning counterpart, the legendary DQN algorithm.

Unsupervised Representation Learning with DCGANs and its Applications

Fabrizio J. Piva
Globant

In the last years, supervised learning with Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) has significantly increased its adoption in a wide variety of classification and regression tasks, while unsupervised learning with CNNs has received less attention. In this work, we present a special architecture of CNNs called Deep Convolutional Generative Adversarial Network (DCGAN) that was formulated to perform unsupervised learning tasks. After describing the model, it will be shown its performance by training it on two datasets, and finally we will introduce a special use case of a Generative Adversarial Network (GAN) to address the problem of Domain Shift Adaptation for Semantic Segmentation.

Life After Word Embeddings: Language modeling for transfer learning in NLP

Julian Eisenschlos
Botmaker

In the last few years, word embeddings have become ubiquitous in NLP problems across the board. But more than word level information can be transfered and we have seen great successes in models like ULMFit and OpenAI transformer pushing the state of the art in many classic datasets. How do these models work and how can you use them for your everyday NLP tasks?

Efficient streaming data aggregation

Claudio Freire
Jampp

Data aggregation is perhaps the most common "big data" application there is, yet it is hard to find quality tools to actually do it. The problem is simple, you've got a stream of stuff, each row with a set of features, and you want to build a summarized view of all that data that's easier for reporting. We'll discuss a custom solution that manages to blend the best of both big and small data.
