Unleash the Snek: The Role of Python in the Future of Insights
Chris Robson (Deck Chair Data)
If you have been following the rapid development of AI, Machine Learning and Automation then you will have noticed a common thread — that a large proportion of the advances being made have used the language Python and its associated libraries. For those coming from an Insights or Research background this may not be familiar territory, so in this presentation I will give a gentle introduction to the language and tools, explain how it has become the ‘lingua franca’ for data science and machine learning, and assess it’s strengths, limitations and the alternatives out there. New horizons require new tools, and it is time for the insights industry to ‘level up’ and get stuck into Python! This will be a largely non-technical presentation but with plenty of pointers for getting deeper.
