DESCRIPTION:Enjoy a gentle introduction to Python for folks who are complet
 ely new to it and may not have much experience programming. Learn how to w
 rite Python while practicing loops\, if’s\, functions\, and usage of Pyt
 hon’s built-in features in a series of fun\, interactive exercises insid
 e Jupyter Notebooks. By the end you’ll be ready to write your own basic 
 Python -- but most importantly\, I want you to learn the form and vocabula
 ry of Python so that you can understand Python documentation\, interpret c
 ode written by others\, and get the most out of other SciPy tutorials.

DESCRIPTION:Communicating scientific data often relies on making comparison
 s between multiple datasets.\nJoin the Matplotlib team to learn about crea
 ting multi-axis figures to display such data side-by-side.\nThis intermedi
 ate level tutorial will cover a variety of tools for making multi-axis fig
 ures.\nOf particular focus will be the [subplot_mosaic](https://matplotlib
 .org/stable/gallery/subplots_axes_and_figures/mosaic.html) and the layout 
 engines: tight\, constrained\, and compressed.\nThis tutorial will emphasi
 ze the use of Matplotlib's Object Oriented (OO) API and why that is genera
 lly recommended over the pyplot (plt) API.

DESCRIPTION:Privacy guarantee is **the** most crucial requirement when it c
 omes to analyse sensitive data. However\, data anonymisation techniques al
 one do not always provide complete privacy protection\; moreover Machine L
 earning models could also be exploited to _leak_ sensitive data when _atta
 cked_\, and no counter-measure is applied. *Privacy-preserving machine lea
 rning* (PPML) methods hold the promise to overcome all these issues\, allo
 wing to train machine learning models with full privacy guarantees. In thi
 s tutorial we will explore several methods for privacy-preserving data ana
 lysis\, and how these techniques can be used to safely train ML models _wi
 thout_ actually seeing the data.

 e the trajectory of a self-landing rocket in a real-time simulated setting
  using CVXPY\, a Python-embedded modeling language for convex optimization
 . We integrate the optimization with the Kerbal Space Program\, to showcas
 e a complete landing mission without human intervention\, ideally in one p
 iece. CVXPY allows solving complex problems declaratively\, letting convex
  optimization find an optimal way of meeting target conditions with respec
 t to an objective function. After solving the initial problem\, attendees 
 will use a selection of advanced CVXPY features while making the example g
 radually more realistic.

DESCRIPTION:Bokeh is a library for interactive data visualization. You can 
 use it with Jupyter Notebooks or create standalone web applications\, all 
 using Python. This tutorial is a complete guide to Bokeh\, where we start 
 with a basic line plot and step-by-step make our way to creating a dashboa
 rd with several interacting components. This tutorial will be helpful for 
 scientists who are looking to level-up their analysis and presentations\, 
 and tool developers interested in adding custom plotting functionally or d
 ashboards.

DESCRIPTION:One of the biggest challenges for data scientists and machine l
 earning engineers alike is the friction caused by the iteration cycle betw
 een prototyping and production. It’s not enough to deploy a working mode
 l to a serving app. The iterative process itself needs to be a tight feedb
 ack loop between experimentation\, data and model refinement\, deploying t
 o production\, and dealing with data drift. In this tutorial\, attendees w
 ill learn how to unify the common tools in the Python Data/ML scientific s
 tack into a single orchestration plane using Flyte so that you can reduce 
 the friction between prototyping and production.

 umPy's usage of Single Instruction Multiple Data routines\, as well as mul
 ti-source compiling\, provide optimizations that are impossible to beat wi
 th simple C. This presentation offers principles to help determine if an a
 rray-processing routine\, implemented as a C-extension\, might outperform 
 NumPy called from Python. A C-extension implementing a narrow use case of 
 the ``np.nonzero()`` routine will be studied as an example.

DESCRIPTION:N-dimensional datasets are common in many scientific fields\, a
 nd quickly accessing subsets of these datasets is critical for an efficien
 t exploration experience. Blosc2 is a compression and format library that 
 recently added support for multidimensional datasets. Compression is cruci
 al in effectively dealing with sparse datasets as the zeroed parts can be 
 almost entirely suppressed\, while the non-zero parts can still be stored 
 in smaller sizes than their uncompressed counterparts. Moreover\, the new 
 double data partition in Blosc2 reduces the need for decompressing unneces
 sary data\, which allows for top-class slicing speed.

DESCRIPTION:An important problem in genomics is identifying the proteins th
 at bind to DNA. Although many methods attempt to learn DNA motifs underlyi
 ng protein binding as position-weight matrices (PWMs)\, these PWMs cannot 
 faithfully represent real biology. For instance\, a static PWM cannot desc
 ribe a zinc-finger protein whose fingers can optionally include one-nucleo
 tide spacing. TF-MoDISco is a framework for extracting motifs using attrib
 ution scores from a machine-learning model. The learned motifs and syntax 
 overcome many of the limitations presented by PWM. I will describe the TF-
 MoDISco algorithm and showcase its efficient re-implementation\, tfmodisco

 graphblas/graphblas-algorithms)\, a fast backend to NetworkX. [`python-gra
 phblas`](https://github.com/python-graphblas/python-graphblas/) is faster 
 and more capable than `scipy.sparse` for both graph algorithms and sparse 
 operations. If you have sparse data or graph workloads that you want to sc
 ale and make faster\, then this is for you. Come learn what makes GraphBLA
 S special--and fast!--and how to use it effectively.

DESCRIPTION:The NIST Interatomic Potentials Repository project has develope
 d Python APIs to support user interactions with the repository data hosted
  at https://potentials.nist.gov. The associated code is layered\, starting
  with generic methods for JSON/XML-based data and databases\, and building
  up to user-friendly interfaces specific to the repository. This design al
 lows for basic users to easily explore the data and expert users to perfor
 m more complicated operations or create custom APIs for other databases. T
 he repository APIs help users find and compare interatomic models\, set up
  simulations\, perform high throughput calculations\, and access the high 
 throughput results.

DESCRIPTION:TensorFlow Probability is a powerful library for statistical an
 alysis in Python.  Using TensorFlow Probability’s implementation of Baye
 sian methods\, modelers can incorporate prior information and obtain param
 eter estimates and a quantified degree of belief in the results. Resamplin
 g methods like Markov Chain Monte Carlo can also be used to perform Bayesi
 an analysis. As an alternative\, we show how to use numerical optimization
  to estimate model parameters\, and then show how numerical differentiatio
 n can be used to get a quantified degree of belief. How to perform simulat
 ion in Python to corroborate our results is also demonstrated.

 he is passionate about extracting meaningful information from biomedical d
 atasets and use that to improve disease understanding and drug development
 . She has studied Biomedical Engineering as BSc and MSc and have a PhD in 
 Systems Biology. Her PhD work became the foundation of a new direction of 
 thinking on why cancer develops resistance to chemotherapy\, which is the 
 major reason for treatment failure. In her postdoctoral work\, she investi
 gated the mechanisms of cellular differentiation in the skin. She develope
 d a 3D computational model that recapitulated the observed changes in the 
 mouse skin connective tissue and dermis during development. The combinatio
 n of the mathematical analysis with experimental data led to a new underst
 anding of how distinct fibroblast subpopulations become activated\, prolif
 erate\, and deposit matrix proteins during wound healing. Before moving to

DESCRIPTION:napari is an n-dimensional image viewer for Python. If you’ve
  ever tried `plt.imshow(arr)` and made Matplotlib unhappy because `arr` ha
 s more than two dimensions\, then napari might be for you! napari will gla
 dly *display higher-dimensional arrays* by providing sliders to explore ad
 ditional dimensions. But napari can also: *overlay* derived data\, such as
  points\, segmentations\, polygons\, surfaces\, and more\; and *annotate* 
 and *edit* these data\, using standard data structures like NumPy or Zarr 
 arrays\, allowing you to *seamlessly weave* exploration\, computation\, an
 d annotation in image analysis.

DESCRIPTION:MetPy is an open-source Python package for meteorological and a
 tmospheric science applications\, leveraging significantly many other piec
 es of the scientific Python stack (e.g. numpy\, matplotlib\, scipy\, etc.)
 . With a focus on sustainability\, Metpy extensively leverages GitHub Acti
 on to try to automate as much of the software development process as possi
 ble. Sustainability also extends to the growth of the community of develop
 ers\, and we have been working to try to make that sustainable as well. He

DESCRIPTION:This project introduces an extensible workflow used to evaluate
  climate model output using collections of Jupyter notebooks. The workflow
  supports parametrizing and batch-executing notebooks using Papermill\, in
  conjunction with developing notebooks interactively. Additional features 
 include integration with Dask and caching intermediate data products gener
 ated by notebooks. The final product of the workflow can automatically be 
 built into a Jupyter book for easy presentation and shareability. While it
  was initially developed for climate modeling\, the flexible and extensibl
 e nature of this framework makes it adaptable to any kind of data analysis
  work\, and the presentation will highlight this capability.

DESCRIPTION:Come join the BoF to do a practice run on contributing to a Git
 Hub project. We will walk through how to open a Pull Request for a bugfix\
 , using the workflow most libraries participating at the weekend sprints u
 se (hosted by the sprint chairs)

DESCRIPTION:Discuss the effects of recent and potential performance improve
 ments on the scientific Python packages. The goal is to discuss the cost/b
 enefit tradeoffs of adapting existing libraries to take advantage of poten
 tial improvements\, especially per-interpreter GIL and nogil\, but also ty
 pe specializations in the interpreter.

DESCRIPTION:"Notebooks can be a powerful tool for the purposes for which th
 ey were designed—learning\, experimenting\, and sharing results. However
 \, users face many challenges when trying to achieve true reproducbility w
 ith notebooks alone\, including lack of dependency management\, pitfalls o
 f non-linear interactive execution\, and requiring bespoke tooling to open
  and execute. Furthermore\, there is a growing need to go beyond reprodubi
 lity of individual results—siloed into an opaque format possessing limit
 ed interoperability with the rest of the Python ecosystem—toward reusuab
 ility of research methods\, that can be shared\, built upon\, and deployed
  by users across the world. \n\nTherefore\, we invite the community to sha
 re their tools and workflows to go beyond reproducibility and towards true
  reusable science\, built on the shoulders of giants. Furthermore\, we hop
 e to explore how we can encourage users and the community to move beyond t
 he notebooks monoculture and toward a holistic\, open\, modular and intero
 perable approaches to conducting research and developing scientific code."
