How my life is changing as a direct result of attending the #RStudioConf 🧵

#rstats
Just 3 days ago, I had the pleasure of watching the #rstudioconf2022 kick off.

I've been attending since 2018 and watching even longer than that.

And, I was just a normal spectator in the audience until this happened.
@topepos and @juliasilge's keynote showed all of the open source work their team has been working on to build the best machine learning ecosystem in R called #tidymodels.

And then they brought this slide up.
Max and Julia then proceeded to talk about how the community members have been working on expanding the ecosystem.

- Text Recipes for Text
- Censored for Survival Modeling
- Stacks for Ensembles

And then they announced me and my work on Modeltime for Time Series!!!
I had no clue this was going to happen.

Just a spectator in the back.

My friends to both sides went nuts. Hugs, high-fives, and all.

My students in my slack channel went even more nuts.
Throughout the rest of the week, I was on cloud-9.

My students that were at the conf introduced themselves.

Much of our discussions centered around Max & Julia's keynote and the exposure that modeltime got.
And all of this wouldn't be possible without the support of this company. Rstudio / posit.

So, I'm honored to be part of something bigger than just a programming language.

And if you'd like to learn more about what I do, I'll share a few links.
The first is my modeltime package for #timeseries.

This has been a 2-year+ passion project for building the premier time series forecasting system.

It now has multiple extensions including ensembles, resampling, deep learning, and more.

The second is my company @bizScienc.

For the past 4-years I've dedicated myself to teaching students how to apply data science to business.

I have 3000+ students worldwide.

Here are some of my tribe that I met at #rstudioconf2022.
The third is my 40-minute webinar.

I put a free presentation together to help you on your journey to become a data scientist.

A few things I talk about:

Modeltime for Time Series.
Tidymodels & H2O for Machine Learning
Shiny for Web Apps
and 7 more!

Logistic Regression is the most important foundational algorithm in Classification Modeling.

In 2 minutes, I'll crush your confusion.

Let's dive in: Image
1. Logistic regression is a statistical method used for analyzing a dataset in which there are one or more independent variables that determine a binary outcome (in which there are only two possible outcomes). This is commonly called a binary classification problem.
2. The Logit (Log-Odds):

The formula estimates the log-odds or logit. The right-hand side is the same as the form for linear regression. But the left-hand side is the logit function, which is the natural log of the odds ratio. The logit function is what distinguishes logistic regression from other types of regression.Image

These 7 statistical analysis concepts have helped me as an AI Data Scientist.

Let's go: 🧵 Image
Step 1: Learn These Descriptive Statistics

Mean, median, mode, variance, standard deviation. Used to summarize data and spot variability. These are key for any data scientist to understand what’s in front of them in their data sets. Image
2. Learn Probability

Know your distributions (Normal, Binomial) & Bayes’ Theorem. The backbone of modeling and reasoning under uncertainty. Central Limit Theorem is a must too. Image

Stop Prompting LLMs.
Start Programming LLMs.

Introducing DSPy by Stanford NLP.

This is why you need to learn it: Image
1. Why DSPy?

DSPy is the open-source framework for programming—rather than prompting—language models.

It allows you to iterate fast on building modular AI systems.
2. Modules that express AI programmer-centric way

To build enterprise-grade AI, you need to be able to build modular codebases.

DSPy makes it easy to create these LLM tasks modularly. Image

Understanding P-Values is essential for improving regression models.

In 2 minutes, I'll crush your confusion.

Let's go: Image
1. The p-value:

A p-value in statistics is a measure used to assess the strength of the evidence against a null hypothesis. Image
2. Null Hypothesis (H₀):

The null hypothesis is the default position that there is no relationship between two measured phenomena or no association among groups. For example, under H₀, the regressor does not affect the outcome. Image

🚨 BREAKING: IBM launches a free Python library that converts ANY document to data

Introducing Docling. Here's what you need to know: 🧵 Image
1. What is Docling?

Docling is a Python library that simplifies document processing, parsing diverse formats — including advanced PDF understanding — and providing seamless integrations with the gen AI ecosystem. Image
2. Document Conversion Architecture

For each document format, the document converter knows which format-specific backend to employ for parsing the document and which pipeline to use for orchestrating the execution, along with any relevant options. Image
