Embrace uncertainty! Why to go beyond point estimators for valuable ML applications
Stefan Maier
Algorithms, Data Science, Machine Learning, Statistics

Usually, uncertainties of Machine Learning predictions are just regarded as a sign of poor prediction accuracy or as a consequence of lacking input features. This talk illustrates how modeling uncertainties can improve ML based decisions.

Extended Ligthning Talks CANCELLED: Crunching Numbers Like a Journalist
Marie-Louise Timcke
Big Data, Data Science, Statistics

Marie will talk about how newsrooms work with data on a day to day basis, and how scientific accuracy fits in with the pace of news reporting.

Friend or Foe: Comparison of R & Python in Data Wrangling & Visualisation
Yuta Kanzawa
Data Science, Machine Learning, Visualisation, Statistics

R and Python are different in community and as language. Still, comparing them in their common fields such as data wrangling and visualisation, useRs and Pythonistas will deepen mutual understanding.
