⚡️ Lightning: Mapping the International PyData Community featuring Web Scraping and Data Wrangling - @hevansdev.bsky.social Hugh loves maps! But Meetup’s map of PyData events is not great. So he made a better one: circle size for group and green for newly scheduled meet-ups.
PyData London
@pydatalondon.bsky.social
https://london.pydata.org We run a monthly meetup and host the annual PyData London conference. PyData is an educational program of NumFOCUS, helping our community share ideas and learn from each other. https://www.meetup.com/PyData-London-Meetup/
⚡️Lightning talk: Agentic, Agentic AI for Personalized Care — Lessons and Challenges from Holisticare.io - Mojtaba Kargar
Our next talk is From Zero to HyperPod: Cutting Infrastructure Complexity for Distributed Model Training on AWS - Anton Nazaruk
Our first talk tonight is SVD-ROM: Reduced Order Modeling of huge arrays using the Singular Value Decomposition - David Salvador-Jasin
Excited to be back for another PyData London meetup! 🥳
Lighting talk: Local MCP servers for your Local coding Agents (Cursor, Claude, Codex etc) - Prashant Tiwari MCP systems are distributed and can get out of sync if multiple agents are working at once. Using a shared MCP server simplifies management and helps manage shared resources.
Lighting talk: Understanding Embedding Space: Surprises, Pitfalls, and Intuition - Alper Nebi Kanlı
Lightning talk: Amusingly Abliterated LLMs - Ian Ozsvald Even if you ask it to be rude, LLMs will tell derivative dad jokes. Can we make an LLM tell good jokes if we remove the guardrails? It’s definitely rude, but also more original.
Our first talk is Productionising research papers with Python and serverless infrastructure - Chess commentary generation use case @guillaumealla.in
Excited to kick off our 102nd PyData meetup! Jiarui is compering us tonight and as ever we’re hosted by the kind folks at Man AHL.
1. And finally we have a lightning talk on USearch: The Engine Behind Most New Search & RAG Pipelines - Ash Vardanian USearch might be the most widely used search engine you’ve never heard of, up there with FAISS and Lucene. It even supports semantic search and geospatial indexing!
Our first lightning talk is Mise and easy: managing environments the fun way - Connor Adams. Environment management is very messy across languages. Mise can make your life much easier!
Next tonight we’re hearing about No More Boilerplate: Data-Driven Testing Made Easy from @feregri.no
Starting tonight’s meet up with @geirfreysson.bsky.social Using Hugging Face's smolagents framework to create a Fantasy Premier League AI Agent. His main motivation was to beat his brother at FPL!
Our next meetup is on Tuesday (4 November) and as ever the waiting list is building.... If you can't make it, we'd be very grateful if you could unRSVP and let someone on the waitlist take your spot. But otherwise see you there for amazing talks and conversations! www.meetup.com/pydata-londo...

Yeah, back at the PyData meetups!
It's nearly that time again! Join us on Tue 4 Nov for the 101st PyData London meetup. Using Hugging Face's smolagents framework to create a Fantasy Premier League AI Agent - @geirfreysson.bsky.social No More Boilerplate: Data-Driven Testing Made Easy - @feregri.no www.meetup.com/pydata-londo...
I'm talking about building AI agents at PyData London. Very much looking forward to this!

Up next: @hevansdev.bsky.social Answering a dumb question with a smart bird feeder. Is this robin abnormally large?
Now hearing HangMAN vs AI - Kavit Tolia Learnings building a custom transformer to play hangman.
Now hearing from Victor Zommers on his experiments getting LLMs to play Go. They were not good, not only losing to KataGo but also Wally, developed in 1981 with just 7 rules.
Next up we have Sam Joseph LLMs can tell jokes, but they’re pretty bad. Sam found he can breed better jokes using ideas from evolutionary computing—with pretty decent results!
Our first talk tonight is from PyDatalondon founder @ianozsvald.bsky.social on his playgroup: a collaborative space to explore really difficult but interesting problems together like ARC AGI, diagnosing bugs agenically and making LLMs funny.
It’s nearly time for our 100th Meetup! 🥳 Looking forward to a full roster of lightning talks, reflections from organisers past and present (including many of the OG crew!) and of course well-deserved celebrations--maybe even with cake! 🎂
Our PyData London Meetup chapter is about to celebrate its 100th meetup tomorrow! 💯 We’re beyond proud to see how far our community has come, and can’t wait to hear all about this milestone event! Congrats to our fabulous PyData London Meetup chapter! 🥳

Skrub: machine-learning with dataframes Presentation at @pydatalondon.bsky.social, discussing how skrub facilitates data transformations & wrangling on dataframes for machine learning and introducing the exciting "DataOps" to tune and re-apply any wrangling code speakerdeck.com/gaelvaroquau...
Skrub: machine-learning with dataframes
While data-science talks a lot about machine learning, much of the work is preparing and assembling dataframes. Such work is very manual. Here I introdu…

Last but definitely not least we have Ruby Waller on Apprenticeships in Data: a practical pathway into the profession.
Our first lightning talk from Imamuddin Shaik on Reliable Agents: Context Engineering, Roles, and What 1M-Token Windows Don’t Fix.
