World Models, GenSQL for Database Analysis, Synthetic Data for Training ML Models, and GenAI for Quantum Computing
Open Data Science Conference (ODSC)
The leading applied data science and AI conference, with 4 global events and nearly 180 meetups worldwide every year.
World models represent a significant advancement over traditional predictive models in AI, and these models allow AI agents to make more informed decisions and take actions that are aligned with the desired outcomes.
Researchers from MIT have unveiled GenSQL, a new AI tool designed to simplify complex statistical analyses of tabular data.
Getting enough of the right data is one of the most persistent challenges in machine learning. Growing privacy concerns make this even more of an obstacle. Amid these difficulties, synthetic data has emerged as a promising solution.
Gen AI and quantum computing have each experienced their fair share of publicity lately. Both technologies could usher in a new era of computing and unlock unprecedented possibilities.
Industry, Opinion, Career Advice
Let’s discuss privacy and AI governance, including how technology and law factor into this critical issue.

ODSC Highlights
We’re STOKED to announce two new tracks coming to ODSC West this October — AI Agents and What’s Next in AI — plus updates to a few attendee-favorite tracks.
Weds, July 17, 2024 5:30 PM — 8:30 PM PDT — San Francisco
Join us for an evening dedicated to the world of data and artificial intelligence! This event is an opportunity to connect with like-minded professionals in a relaxed atmosphere.
There will be a talk by their CEO, Curtis Northcutt, where he will delve into innovative approaches for handling label noise in machine learning datasets and showcase real-world applications of these techniques.
Thurs, July 18, 2024 12:00 PM ET
This workshop will show how to use XGBoost. It will demonstrate model creation, model tuning, model evaluation, and model interpretation. The XGBoost library is one of the most popular libraries with data scientists for creating predictive models with structured (or tabular) data. This workshop will cover the library, tuning it, evaluating models created by it, and understanding predictions from it. Attendees will have the chance to try it out with the labs.

New Podcast Episode: Small Language Models with Luca Antiga
In this episode, Luca Antiga, CTO of Lightning AI and ODSC East 2024 speaker, joins us to discuss Small Language Models (SLMs). We’ll explore the differences between SLMs and Large Language Models (LLMs), examine the importance of data quality in training SLMs, and talk about key SLM frameworks such as TinyLama.
Video of the Week: Solving MLOps from First Principles
Struggling to choose the right tools for your data team’s workflow? You’re not alone. In this talk, Dean Pleban dives deep into the heart of MLOps challenges, shedding light on the overwhelming “MLOps Fatigue” that many face today. Instead of pushing specific tools, Dean offers guidelines and mental models to help you analyze your team’s problems and select the best solutions.
Upcoming Webinars and Meetups:
Tue, Jul 23, 2024 7:30 AM — 8:30 AM EDT
Some machine learning models are essentially decision rules with if-then-else constructs. In this webinar, we will present a few hands-on use cases with ‘imodels’ (python package for rule-based models) and ‘tidyrules’ (R package for ruleset manipulation and post-hoc reordering and pruning) along with utilities to convert the rulesets into SQL to bring them into a production setting.
