What a banger is skrub @skrub-data.bsky.social !
Big thumbs up for the sklearn team & the maintainer of this package
I don't know what to say. You dream about it for so long and then when it finally happens you're in shock. I'm so proud of you Larry. www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

It looks like a date frame, but Skrub stores the whole transformation pipeline in the magic skb attribute!

🔥CAN YOU BUILD AI MODELS that give you (verifiable) uncertainty estimates in their outputs? Cool talk on ML, classifiers, + calibration www.youtube.com/watch?v=SI6b... by scikit-learn architect @gaelvaroquaux.bsky.social
*with ninja-level modeling of variance you probably didn't know existed !
✨ Excited to present our workshop paper at DataWorld at #ICML2025 tomorrow 🇨🇦
We introduce the problem of detecting cross-modal errors in tabular data that originate from other modalities.

📅 Saturday, July 19, 10:05 AM - 11:20 AM
📍 West Meeting Room 208-209
Thanks to my supervisor
@mersault.bsky.social!
Paper: openreview.net/pdf?id=JJYHb...
Code: github.com/OlgaOvcharen...
On Saturday, @oovcharenko.bsky.social will present a poster on "Towards Cross-Modal Error Detection with Tables and Images" at the the Data World workshop, which focuses on finding errors in tables by inspecting corresponding image data:

📢 Our extended benchmark on self-supervised learning for single-cell data, scSSL-Bench 🧬, is now accepted at ICML (spotlight)!
Thanks to all collaborators from @bifold.berlin and @ethzurich.bsky.social!
I was invited to review for the "Journal of Pipeline Systems Engineering and Practice", seems our work on ML pipelines is finally recognised by other communities as well ;D

Our vision "Towards Regaining Control over Messy ML Pipelines" was accepted for the DAIS workshop at ICDE! 🥳
Initial experiments show LLMs are promising for extracting declarative query plans from messy ML code.
