Low-Code, High Impact: Kickstart Your Data Analytics Journey with KNIME
Roberto Cadili | Data Scientist on the Evangelism team | KNIME
In this talk, we’ll introduce you to KNIME Analytics Platform, the free and open-source data analytics software that relies on a low-code/no-code visual interface to enable professionals from any field to make sense of data. It features extensive data access & blending, wrangling, modeling, and visualization capabilities, making it comprehensive and versatile for all stages of the data science life cycle.
Visualizing the Evolution of ML Models: Insights and Tools for Enhanced Understanding
Rajat Arya | Co-founder | XetHub
The increasing size and complexity of machine learning (ML) models make understanding their evolution crucial. This talk will demonstrate how to track ML model changes using visualizations, from classical tree models to complex deep learning architectures. We will showcase XetHub (and other tools) for building these visualizations and reasoning about model changes. The talk will conclude by extending this framework for adding visual context at any stage of an ML project.
The Unreasonable Effectiveness of an Asset Graph
Sean Lopp | Sales Engineer at Dagster Labs | Dagsterlabs
From hobbyist ML developers to platform architects at Fortune 100 firms, most data professionals spend the majority of their time answering simple questions: “If I update x, what else needs to be updated?” or “If y breaks, what else will be broken?”.
In this demo, Sean Lopp, sales engineer at Dagster Labs will show how a global data lineage graph can answer all of these questions and become the highest leverage piece of a data platform. Best of all, he’ll show how organizations adopting Dagster as an orchestrator get this global lineage graph for free.
From Pilot to Scale: How Companies are Deploying Generative AI in 2024
Carlo Appugliese | Director, Generative AI, Machine Learning and AI Engineering | IBM
There’s a lot of interest and buzz around generative AI, however, over 90% of companies are still in the experimental phase. So how do you take those pilots to production and drive ROI for your business? Join Carlo Appugliese, Program Director, Client Engineering at IBM Watsonx as he shares top insights from IBM’s generative AI client engagements, including how to develop a model strategy to keep costs down and improve performance while using AI responsibly.
HPCC Systems — The Definitive Big Data Open-Source Platform
Bob Foreman | Senior Software Engineer | LexisNexis Risk Solutions
Hugo Watanuki | Senior Technical Support Engineer | LexisNexis Risk Solutions
Learn why the completely free and open-source HPCC Systems platform is better at big data and offers an end-to-end solution for developers and data scientists. Learn how ECL can empower you to build powerful data queries with ease. HPCC Systems, a comprehensive and dedicated data lake platform makes combining different types of data easier and faster than competing platforms — even data stored in massive, mixed schema data lakes — and it scales very quickly as your data needs grow.
Unblock Data Science Teams with Prefect: Self-serve Python Scripting to Deployment
Mike Grabbe | Principal Data Engineer | EF Educational Tours
Taylor Curran | Senior Sales Engineer | Prefect
See how Prefect helps data engineers unblock data science teams with a Python-first approach to deploying workflows, a repeatable framework for managing infrastructure, and custom metrics and alerting to ensure everything is running. You’ll hear from Taylor (Prefect) about how to take any ol’ Python script and deploy it on a container service, and then a deep dive into how Mike developed a cost-efficient workflow to query historical Snowflake data without creating bulk copies.
How to Level-Up Your Creativity and Projects with On-Demand Analytics
Joe Madden | Senior Product Manager | SAS
Often, data scientists build their models on an entirely different stack from ML engineers creating inefficiencies, silos and leading to frustration. In this demo, we will show how a streamlined handoff between a data scientist and their ML engineer counterpart helps to get the model into production faster. The scenario covers a data scientist or developer, using Python or SAS, creating a model that can easily be shared, published, and registered to their production system of choice.
2024 Data Engineering Summit tickets available now!
In-Person Data Engineering Conference
April 23rd to 24th, 2024 — Boston, MA
At our second annual Data Engineering Summit, Ai+ and ODSC are partnering to bring together the leading experts in data engineering and thousands of practitioners to explore different strategies for making data actionable.
The Open Source ML Advantage
Kevin Musgrave | ML Developer Advocate | HPE/Hewlett Packard Enterprise
In this talk, you’ll hear about HPE’s approach to building an end-to-end ML stack, including Determined AI for model training and Pachyderm for data preparation among other open-source alternatives. You’ll also see a live demo of how to use Determined AI for a transfer learning use case in the biomedical image domain. We’ll also touch on some key collaborations, including our partnerships with the AI Infrastructure Alliance, NVIDIA, and Aleph Alpha.
Mastering Complexity: Optimize your Decision Making for 500% ROI
Jennifer Locke | Manager — Technical Account Management, Americas | Gurobi
Businesses focus a lot on forecasts and predictions — trying to get a clearer picture of the future. But even if you had perfect information, the most sprawling and impactful business decisions are much too complex to guarantee optimal outcomes, with millions, billions, or even trillions of trade-offs to consider. See why leading companies use mathematical optimization to solve their most complex real-world business problems.
Dive into the Lightning AI Open Source Stack and Lightning Studios to Unlock Reproducible AI Development on the Cloud

The Diagram-Based Deep Learning Framework that Brings Visibility to Model Architectures
David Winer | Co-founder | Сerbreс
No doubt that the transformer model architecture has revolutionized AI, but working with these models has an ever-expanding set of technical challenges and long learning curves. In this case study, we will navigate the Llama-2 model architecture and steer fine-tuning for customized document summarization. We will use Graphbook, the deep learning framework that brings visibility and intelligent guidance to researchers focusing on model architectures.
Say Goodbye to Time-Consuming Generative AI Proof of Concept
Rei Araki | CEO, GenerativeX | GenerativeX
The concept of time and money spent on proof of concept (POC) has dramatically changed with generative AI. Since POCs can now be conducted immediately and at a low cost due to generative AI, businessmen and companies wanting to utilize generative AI in their operations should get started right away.
