NYC Python will be joining PyData NYC at 1177 Avenue of Americas (IBM) on Mar 13th 6:30 PM for a workshop night with Andrew Hoh (Chief Product Officer at LastMile AI) and Nick Lourie (PhD Student at NYU).

⚠️Please RSVP with PyData NYC here: https://www.meetup.com/pydatanyc/events/299507856/

🍕 Pizza and drinks sponsored by LastMile AI! Thank you! Agenda: Building LLM Applications in Production : 45 mins Speaker: Andrew Hoh Andrew Hoh is the President and Co-Founder of LastMile AI. Previously, he was a Group PM Manager at Meta AI, driving product for their AI Platform. Previously, he was the Product Manager for the Machine Learning Infrastructure team at Airbnb and a founding team member of Azure Cosmos DB, Microsoft Azure's distributed NoSQL database. He graduated with a BA in Computer Science from Dartmouth College. Empirical Methods for Deep Learning: 30 mins Speaker: Nick Lourie Imagine you're working on a neural net. You come up with a great idea! Maybe the model learns better if trained on the shortest examples first. So, you order the examples, feed them to the model, evaluate it, and find... the performance got worse! Is the idea bad? Or, did you just need to tune the learning rate? Optimal design analysis (OPDA) combines an empirical theory of deep learning with statistical analyses to answer these questions. Networking: 30 mins Connect with fellow data enthusiasts, professionals, and community leaders. Build meaningful connections and forge collaborations. ---------------------------------------------------------------- RSVP is required, please note that walk-ins will not be accepted.
