From a scientific perspective, 2018 [1] was once again extremely exciting thank to awesome collaborators (at Inria, with DirtyData, and our local scikit-learn team). Rather than going over everything that we did in 2018, I would like to give a few highlights: We published major work using machine learning to …
We have just announced that a foundation will be supporting scikit-learn at Inria [1]: scikit-learn.fondation-inria.fr
This is an exciting turn for us, because it enables us to receive private funding. As a result, we will be able to have secure employment for some existing core …
Two weeks ago, we held a scikit-learn sprint in Austin and Paris. Here is a brief report, on progresses and challenges.
Several sprints
We actually held two sprint in Austin: one open sprint, at the scipy conference sprints, which was open to new contributors, and one core sprint, for more …
In my opinion the scientific highlights of 2017 for my team were on multivariate predictive analysis for brain imaging: a brain decoder more efficient and faster than alternatives, improvement clinical predictions by predicting jointly multiple traits of subjects, decoding based on the raw time-series of brain activity, and a personnal …
Note
Scientific progress calls for reproducing results. Due to limited resources, this is difficult even in computational sciences. Yet, reproducibility is only a means to an end. It is not enough by itself to enable new scientific results. Rather, new discoveries must build on reuse and modification of the state …
Two week ago, we held in Paris a large international sprint on scikit-learn. It was incredibly productive and fun, as always. We are still busy merging in the work, but I think that know is a good time to try to summarize the sprint.
We had a …
Year 2016 has been productive for science in my team. Here are some personal highlights: bridging artificial intelligence tools to human cognition, markers of neuropsychiatric conditions from brain activity at rest, algorithmic speedups for matrix factorization on huge datasets…
To my friends developing data science for the social media, marketing, and advertising industries,
It is time to accept that we have our share of responsibility in the outcome of the US elections and the vote on Brexit. We are not creating the society that we would like. Facebook, Twitter …
I have built static binaries of Unision 2.48 for ARM
