The Mayavi Python software, and my personal history: A thread on Python and scipy ecosystems, building open source codebase, and meeting really cool and friendly people
I am writing today as a goodbye to the project: I used to be one of the core contributors and maintainers but have been …
Note
A simple survey asking authors of two leading machine-learning conferences a few quantitative questions on their experimental procedures.
How do machine-learning researchers run their empirical validation? In the context of a push for improved reproducibility and benchmarking, this question is important to develop new tools for model comparison. We …
Note
Given two set of observations, are they drawn from the same distribution? Our paper Comparing distributions: l1 geometry improves kernel two-sample testing at the NeurIPS 2019 conference revisits this classic statistical problem known as “two-sample testing”.
This post explains the context and the paper with a bit of hand …
Note
The 2015 edition of the machine learning open source software (MLOSS) workshop was full of very mature discussions that I strive to report here.
I give links to the videos. Some machine-learning researchers have great thoughts about growing communities of coders, about code as a process and a deliverable …
Note
This year again we will have an exciting workshop on the leading-edge machine-learning open-source software. This subject is central to many, because software is how we propagate, reuse, and apply progress in machine learning.
Want to present a project? The deadline for the call for papers is Apr 28th …
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
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 …
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 …
Last week, I was at the Scipy conference in Austin. It was really great to see old friends, and Austin is such a nice place.
The Scipy conference was held in UT Austin’s conference center, which is a fantastic venue. This is the …
The deadline for early-bird registration at the Euroscipy conference is this Sunday. Beyond this deadline prices will double. Register now to get a great deal.
To register, simply go to www.euroscipy.org, log in using the link on the top right …
The deadline for the call for presentation for the EuroScipy conference is on May 8th. There is only a week and a half left.
EuroScipy will be held in Paris, August 25-28. It is the European meeting for users of Python in scientific and numerical-intensive applications …
We have finally been able to settle on final dates and venue for EuroSciPy 2011, the 4th European meeting on Python in Science.
The conference will be held from Thursday August 25th, to Sunday August 28th. The ENS will be hosting the conference once again, right in the center of …
We are organizing a coding sprint in Paris on scikit learn, machine learning in Python. The goal of this sprint is to set the API and the general coding guidelines of the scikit to be able to tackle many different statistical learning problems in a consistent framework.
This is why …
Euroscipy 2010, the third European conference for the use of Python in science, is just over, and I think it was a great success.
The attendance this year was huge: there was a grand total of 160 who came to EuroScipy, with 140 that came only to …
Some advices and examples on making posters for scientific conference.
Given that we have been able to turn on registration only very late, the EuroScipy conference committee is extending the deadline for abstract submission for the 2010 EuroScipy conference.
On Thursday May 20th, at midnight Samoa time, we will turn off the abstract submission on the conference site. Up to …
It is still not possible to register for the Euroscipy conference: we are having difficulties with payment for the registration, and we are still not sure that we will be able to actually charge money!
This might not be a bad news, because it might mean that the conference will …
EuroScipy 2010, the 3rd European meeting on Python in Science, will be held July 8-11 in the center of Paris, at the Ecole Normale Supérieure.
We have made good progress in the organization, and we already have an exciting program although paper submission is not yet even open.
Paris, Ecole Normale Supérieure, July 8-11 2010
We are happy to announce the 3rd EuroScipy meeting, in Paris, July 2010.
