Lightning Talk: Simple Automation using Argparse and Make
Speaker: Jeff Fischer
See you how can use Python's argparse module along with the ubiquitous Make utility to add simple automation to your projects.
Main Talk: An Introduction to Time Series Anomaly Detection
The goal of time series anomaly detection is to identify unexpected data points or patterns in time-based sequences of values or events. This talk is for Python developers with a basic understanding of machine learning. I will cover common use cases for time series anomaly detection (e.g. observability, IoT failure prediction, fraud detection, log analysis), key terminology (e.g. outlier, change point, seasonality, drift, univariate, multivariate), statistical and ML algorithms (e.g. ARIMA, LOF, Isolation Forest), and Python libraries providing implementations of these models (e.g. Scikit-learn, PyCaret, Merlion, PYOD). At the end of the talk, you should have enough background to know where to start when approaching these types of problems.
