We, Parietal team at INRIA, are recruiting software developers to work on open source machine learning and neuroimaging software in Python.
In general, we are looking for people who:
- have a mathematical mindset,
- are curious about data (ie like looking at data and understanding it)
- have an affinity for problem-solving …
EuroScipy 2015, the annual conference on Python in science will take place in Cambridge, UK on 26-30 August 2015. The conference features two days of tutorials followed by two days of scientific talks & posters and an extra day dedicated to developer sprints. It is the major event in Europe in …
The steering committee of PRNI (Pattern Recognition for NeuroImaging) is opening a call for bid to organize the conference in June 2016, in Europe
Some references on software development techniques and patterns to help write better code.
Work with us to leverage leading-edge machine learning for neuroimaging
At Parietal, my research team, we work on improving the way brain images are analyzed, for medical diagnostic purposes, or to understand the brain better. We develop new machine-learning tools and investigate new methodologies for for quantifying brain function from …
A week ago, the 2014 edition of the scikit-learn sprint was held in Paris. This was the third time that we held an internation sprint and it was hugely productive, and great fun, as always.
We had a mix of core contributors and newcomers, which …
We have just released the 0.15 version of scikit-learn. Hurray!! Thanks to all involved.
It’s been a while since the last release of scikit-learn. So a lot has happened. Exactly 2611 commits according my count. Quite clearly, we have more and more existing code …
I’d like to welcome the four students that were accepted for the GSoC this year:
Welcome to all of you. Your submissions were excellent, and you demonstrated a good will …
Work with us on putting machine learning in the hand of cognitive scientists
Parietal is a research team that creates advanced data analysis to mine functional brain images and solve medical and cognitive science problems. Our day to day work is to write machine-learning and statistics code to understand and …
I have tagged and released the scikit-learn 0.14 release yesterday evening, after more than 6 months of heavy development from the team. I would like to give a quick overview of the highlights of this release in terms of features but also in term of performance. Indeed, the scikit-learn …
John Hunter, the author of matplotlib passed away yesterday after a short battle against cancer. John gave the keynote at the scipy 2012 conference a few weeks ago, and was diagnosed with cancer just on his return from the conference. It is a shock to me that that a friend …
Open research computation (ORC) was an attempt to create a scientific publication promoting high-quality and open source scientific code. The project went public in falls 2010, but last month, facing the low volume of submission, the editorial board chose to reorient it as a special track of an existing journal …
Yesterday, we released version 0.11 of the scikit-learn toolkit for machine learning in Python, and there was much rejoincing.
In the last 6 months, there have been many things happening with the scikit-learn. While I do not whish to give an exhaustive …
The scikit-learn got 3 students accepted for the Google summer of code.
Somebody just sent an email on a user’s mailing list for an open-source scientific package entitled “Feature foo: why is package bar not up to the task?”. To quote him:
Is there ANY plan for having such a module in package bar?? I think (personally) that this is a …
Packt publishing sent me a copy of NumPy 1.5 Beginner’s guide by Ivan Idris.
The book actually covers more than only numpy: it is a full introduction to numerical computing with Python. The table of contents is the following:
Happy new year, every one. I have just released Joblib 0.6.0 beta. The highlights of the 0.6 release are a reworked enhanced pickler, and Python 3 support.
Many thanks go to the contributors to the 0.5 …
The NIPS conference: time for a sprint. The NIPS conference, one of the major conferences in machine learning, is hosted in Granada this year. I believe that it is the first time that it is hosted in Europe. As many of the scikit-learn developers are part of the wider NIPS …
Some advice on passing arrays from C to Python avoiding copies. I use Cython as I have found the code to be more maintainable than hand-written Python C-API code.
I found out that there was no self-contained example of creating numpy arrays from existing data in Cython. Thus I created …
Top notch scientific conferences are starting to add Python tracks to their program. This is good news. Indeed, it scientific Python conferences (namely Scipy, EuroSciPy and Scipy India) are doing great to get together people who have already heard about Python for science, but we need to reach out to …
