PyData Miami Conference—POSTPONED

#PyDataMiami2020 has been postponed. PyData is a 2-day conference on tools and techniques for machine learning, data analysis, visualization, and large-scale data infrastructure. We are an accessible, community-driven conference with talks and tutorials for all skill levels: students, practitioners, and researchers. PyData focuses on open-source computational tools for the Python programming language (such as NumPy, Pandas, and scikit-learn), as well as implementation-agnostic techniques, and other high level numerical languages, such as R and Julia.

Diversity Scholarships

One of PyData’s goals is to increase awareness and excitement around opportunities for underrepresented groups in software engineering and data analytics. To increase diversity in scientific computing, our outreach program ranges from hosting workshops that introduce programming to young women to encouraging diversity in speakers at PyData.

For PyData Miami 2020, we are offering scholarship opportunities to those from underrepresented groups who may otherwise be unable to attend the conference.

Please note scholarships do not cover travel and lodging costs. Click HERE to submit an application.

About PyData

PyData provides a forum for the international community of users and developers of data analysis tools to share ideas and learn from each other. The global PyData network promotes discussion of best practices, new approaches, and emerging technologies for data management, processing, analytics, and visualization. PyData communities approach data science using many languages, including (but not limited to) Python, Julia, and R. We aim to be an accessible, community-driven conference, with novice to advanced level presentations. PyData tutorials and talks bring attendees the latest project features along with cutting-edge use cases.

What Happens When Google Turns Artists Loose On Its…

Google News Lab is inviting artists and designers to dig into its massive trove of data about what the world Googles. Data journalists work at the crossroads of reportage and visual creativity. They tell stories by shaping information like journalists do, but they communicate through visceral and compelling visuals. The same can be said of data artists, who emphasize the illustrative qualities of visualization over facts and numbers—but who communicate stories in much the same way.

MICROSOFT profile of Visualization Director Alberto Cairo

Thomas Kohnstamm’s interview of Alberto Cairo for Microsoft is entitled “Show, don’t tell: Alberto Cairo, Power BI & the rise of data journalism“ (what is Power BI). This comes on the heels of the first Digital Humanities + Data Journalism Symposium, organized by Dr. Cairo, and held on September 29-October 1, 2016, here at UM. Kohnstamm’s article illuminates the history of Visualization as visualizations themselves help to illuminate the rise of this fascinating approach. “Visualization no longer just complements a written story. It is the story. In our increasingly data-driven world, visualization is becoming an essential tool for journalists from national papers to blogs with a staff of one.” Read more “MICROSOFT profile of Visualization Director Alberto Cairo” →
