How data science and the next wave of open-source innovation are closing the €50B efficiency gap in Enterprise AI.

In the world of data, inconsistencies or inaccuracies often presents a major challenge to extract valuable insights. Yet the number of robust tools and practices to address those issues remain limited. Particularly, the practice of TDD remains quite difficult in data science, while it is a standard among classic software development, also because of poorly adapted tools and frameworks.

To address this issue we released Pelage, an open-source Python package to facilitate data exploration and testing, which relies on Polars intuitive syntax and speed. Pelage empowers data scientists and analysts to facilitate data transformation, enhance data quality and improve code clarity.

We will demonstrate, in a test-first approach, how you can use this library in a meaningful data science workflow to gain greater confidence for your data transformations.

The current AI hype, driven by generative AI and particularly large language models, is creating excitement, fear, and inflated expectations. In this keynote, we'll explore geographic & mobility data science tools (such as GeoPandas and MovingPandas) to transform this hype into sustainable and positive development that empowers users.

Optimal Transport (OT) is a powerful mathematical framework with applications in machine learning, statistics, and data science. This talk introduces the Python Optimal Transport toolbox (POT), an open-source library designed to efficiently solve OT problems. Attendees will learn the basics of OT, explore real-world use cases, and gain hands-on experience with POT (https://pythonot.github.io/) .
