🎢 When the Q&A goes off-script 🤣

🇯🇵 Japanese math rock, 🅿️ porpoises and unfortunate aliases, and 🎤 Taylor Swift:

🥈All of these unexpectedly came up in this fun session, which is currently the 2nd most viewed of the conference

🙏 Thanks @pydatalondon.bsky.social for inviting me!

Finally tonight a lightning talk from Rhea Menonca on Dark Data: The Untapped Resource That Could Transform Industries

80% of data is unstructured and unused! It’s a potential goldmine of new insights, but we need to handle it responsibly.

Next a Lightning talk from Nawaf Alageel!

Wasted Compute: Why GPU Utilization Is Slipping Through the Cracks

Docker and Nvidia’s tools don’t work well together, but this solution lets you know which container needs which GPU, massively increasing observability for his team.

A lot of discussion about this! To be continued afterwards in the pub 🍻

Now up Code Reviewing ChatGPT by Peter Bleackley
Pete tries vibe coding the Viterbi algorithm with (at best) mixed results.

But LLMs are much better at producing routine code. Creative coding is still a challenge.

Tonight’s PyData Meetup starting in a very hot London!

🌀 𝐎𝐩𝐞𝐧-𝐒𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐜𝐞 𝐅𝐨𝐨𝐭𝐛𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐀𝐧𝐚𝐥𝐲𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐬 @ 𝐏𝐲𝐃𝐚𝐭𝐚 𝐋𝐨𝐧𝐝𝐨𝐧 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟓

On Saturday I presented a Graph Neural Network Expected Possession Value model at @pydatalondon.bsky.social 2025.

This 𝐆𝐫𝐚𝐩𝐡𝐄𝐏𝐕 model is an ML approach that predicts scoring probability for any moment in the game

This year’s @pydatalondon.bsky.social hosted a small Feminist AI Lounge on the unconference track, featuring a zine making station and great discussions.

I'm back from a busy four days in London! 💜 I had a great time at @pydatalondon.bsky.social‬ and you can read my recap and highlights here: www.linkedin.com/feed/update/...

I’ve had such a brilliant weekend at @pydatalondon.bsky.social. So many great presentations, so many great chats with pals old and new. Really feeling the value of the data science community which has grown and cohered here over the last decade. Massive, massive thanks to the organisers 💖

Final #PyData London keynote from Tony Mears on the ways that innovation dies, from his experience directing operations in the NHS, UK Space Agency and government agencies. Great insights into how innovation gets stifled by risk aversion and lack of a failure culture
@pydatalondon.bsky.social

Thanks everyone for making PyData London 2025 such a success! Some super informative talks and tutorials and so nice to catch up with so many of you—feedback has been really positive.

If you have photos, thoughts or write-ups we'd love to share with the wider community. See you again soon!

My highlights from @pydatalondon.bsky.social day two! 🧵

Some highlights: Using LLMs to figure out if PyData talks have become repetitive over the years, Tarot readings with a mobile printer and an LLM (to great success!) and @hevansdev.bsky.social explaining his love/hate relationship with meetup platforms

⚡️ Lightning talks this morning at #PyData London. Loads of fun submissions; the wheel decides
@pydatalondon.bsky.social

Fun at the PyData Saturday social!

Going deep into transformer layers with @baggiponte.bsky.social explaining how to count parameters in order to calculate compute and memory requirements. Note to self: get an understanding of key-value (KV) caching in transformers
#PyData London
@pydatalondon.bsky.social

Adding GenAI to an existing working ML system seems unnecessary but @astroadamh.bsky.social goes through reasons to do it whilst navigating pitfalls, e.g. changes in model prices. Great idea exploring this through personas we’ve all encountered in the workplace
