Title & Speakers Event
Latent Calendar: Modeling Weekly Behavior with Latent Components 2023-10-25 · 16:00

🎙️ Speaker: Will Dean\, Thomas Wiecki \| ⏰ Time: 16:00 UTC / 9am PT / 12pm ET / 6pm Berlin

Discuss using a classical Natural Language Processing technique for modeling weekly calendar data through a shift in vocabulary (pun intended). By using Latent Dirichlet Allocation to model discretized calendar events, the model’s probabilistic origin and Bayesian connection can be leveraged for various applications and insights.

For a sneak peek, check out the "latent-calendar" on PyPI or see an example here: https://wd60622.github.io/latent-calendar/examples/datasets/bikes-in-chicago/
