WHAT IS IT?

#BlackInDataWeek is a free, online data conference taking place November 16-21, 2020. Straight from their website, #BlackInDataWeek is:

>
“A week-long celebration to (1) highlight the valuable work and experiences of Black people in the field of Data, (2) provide community, and (3) educational and professional resources.”

WHY IS IT AWESOME?

I can’t possibly list all of the reasons why this event is awesome. Just look at the description above, it’s full of goodness! The organizers have created a very exciting event structured to provide community, support and growth for Black people working in data.

Also, the sessions are on fire! I’ve added nearly all of them to my calendar. They offer a wide range of content from career to technical sessions and geared towards all levels of experience.

I’m particularly excited to attend these sessions:

  • Data Careers After Age 40 – November 17 1:30 – 2:30 PM EST

  • Survival Strategies in Data Careers – November 17 5:00 – 6:00 PM EST

  • Data Journeys Fireside Chat – November 17 6:00 – 8:00 PM EST

  • COVID-19 Health Disparities – November 19 12:00 – 12:30 PM EST

  • Avoid a Blank Stare: How to Tell a Great Story with Data – November 19 1:00 – 1:30 PM EST

  • Visualize Your Data Journey – November 19 5:00 – 7:00 PM EST

  • Bias in AI Algorithms – November 20 6:00 – 7:00 PM EST

  • AMA Algorithmic Fairness r/blackpeopletwitter – November 20 12:00 PM EST

For beginners data professionals, you will not want to miss these sessions:

  • Introduction to R – November 18 2:00 – 3:00pm EST

  • Machine Learning Tutorial – November 18 12:00 – 1:00 PM EST

  • Career Development and Mentorship Panel – November 21 2:00 – 5:00 PM EST

Solving Van der Pol equation with ivp_solve

Van der Pol’s differential equation is The equation describes a system with nonlinear damping, the degree of damping given by μ. If μ = 0 the system is linear and undamped, but for positive μ the system is nonlinear and damped. We will plot the phase portrait for the solution to Van der Pol’s equation in Python using SciPy’s new ODE solver ivp_solve . The function ivp_solve does not solve second-order systems of equations directly. It solves systems of first-order equations, but a second-order differential equation can be recast as a pair of first-order equations by introducing the first derivative as a new variable. Since y is the derivative of x , the phase portrait is just the plot of ( x , y ). If μ = 0, we have a simple harmonic oscillator and the phase portrait is simply a circle. For larger values of μ the solutions enter limiting cycles, but the cycles are more complicated than just circles. Here’s the Python code that made the plot. from scipy import linspace from ...

5 Massively Important AI Features In Time Tracking Applications

Artificial intelligence has transformed the future of many industries. One area that has been under- investigated is the use of AI in time tracking technology. AI is Fundamentally Changing the Future of Time Tracking Technology A time tracking software is a worthy investment irrespective of the size of your organization. It generates accurate reports based on the amount of time your team spends working on a task. These reports facilitate planning of budgets for upcoming projects. Many AI tools are changing the nature of time management. MindSync AI discussed the pivotal role of AI in time management in a Medium article . Why is time tracking software important? It helps with keeping track of the hours being invested on a given task. This sheds light on the timeline for the overall project. It also helps in determining the productivity levels of the employees. This is one of the many reasons that AI is driving workplace productivity . But how can employers utilize it effectively? ...
