While we have witnessed spectacular advancements in Machine Learning over the past months and years, robustness of results and establishment of causal relations remain lacking. During this talk we will walk you through an example of using causal Machine Learning techniques to estimate causal, heterogeneous treatment effects with Open Source Python tooling. Learning causal relationships – in contra...

In the rapidly evolving field of Artificial Intelligence (AI), the importance of understanding model decisions is becoming increasingly vital. This talk explores why explanations are crucial for both technical and ethical reasons. We begin by examining the necessity of explainability in AI systems, particularly in mitigating unexpected model behavior, biases and addressing ethical concerns. The di...

Die Hoffnung ist gross, dass Digitalisierung und künstliche Intelligenz unser Gesundheitswesen revolutionieren wird und Menschen schneller und besser heilen kann als bisher. Doch ist diese Hoffnung gerechtfertigt oder nur ein schöner Traum? André Baumgart arbeitet beim Verband Zürcher Krankenhäuser und ist für die Themen Qualität, Patientensicherheit und Digitalisierung verantwortlich. Er wird uns...

We are happy to announce Lightning Talks to this year's conference again! They are open to everyone 😊 about this event: https://c3voc.de

In a brief review of the history of Python at Hamilton, we learn the different uses of Python and the great libraries that are available to simplify the life of an engineer. From device drivers and abstraction of complex processes to data acquisition, analysis and visualization, Python provides a one-stop shop to help developers get to their goals quickly. With an outlook, we show how laboratory s...

The website of the Hypothesis project boldly asserts: "Normal 'automated' software testing is surprisingly manual. Every scenario the computer runs, someone had to write by hand. Hypothesis can fix this." While it's debatable whether property-based testing should fully replace the manual parametrization of tests with different inputs and outputs, there's no doubt that Hypothesis is a powerful tool...

Python has never been good at parallel computing. Multi-threading doesn't scale beyond a handful of threads because of the notorious GIL (Global Interpreter Lock). Multi-processing feels like a cumbersome workaround that increases complexity and overhead. And yet, we're firmly in an era of multicore machines, big data, and massive ML models that require all the compute they can get. Python, otherw...

It is common knowledge that floating point numbers (`float`) are tricky. When misused, floats may lead to construction disaster – I will mention some notable accidents. But mainly, I will dig the topic from Python interface and rounding methods (`int` vs `round`, `divmod`, `math` library), via special symbols (`NaN`, `Inf`, `-0.0`, …), invoking different processor modes (`FLT_ROUNDS`), down to the...

asyncio is the de-facto standard for asynchronous programming in Python and enables concurrent operations without using threads or processes. In this talk, we will delve into the technical details of asyncio and show how it can be used to improve the performance of Python applications. We will start by discussing the difference between threading, multiprocessing and async programming. Then, we wil...

"Code Makeover: Mastering the Art of Python Refactoring" is your guide to transforming cluttered Python scripts into models of efficiency and readability. Discover the art of refining your code without losing your mind in the process. From recognizing the need for a makeover to applying the finishing touches, this talk will equip you with the strategies, best practices, and cautionary tales to ens...

Network automation is important for efficient and reliable network management. In simple terms it means using software to automate tasks like configuring or testing network devices like routers or switches. This increases the speed of deploying new configurations while reducing human error – a win-win situation for everyone! This talk introduces Netmiko, a powerful yet simple Python library for ne...

Shopping independently presents significant challenges for the visually impaired. I address these obstacles with a Python-based shopping assistance system that combines product and hand detection with speech recognition. In this talk, we’ll explore how computer vision technology, leveraging a camera and pre-trained models, enables visually impaired users to navigate supermarkets and select product...
