Power of Transfer Learning in NLP: Build a Text Classification Model Using BERT

Jayeeta Putatunda

Indellient US Inc.

Transfer learning is a technique used when there is a scarcity of labeled data, where a pre-trained model is repurposed for a new task. BERT is a bidirectional model trained on plain text that considers the context of tokens during training. Understanding the baseline NLP modeling and addressing challenges like context-based words and spelling errors are crucial. BERT has applications in multiple problem-solving scenarios, but may not perform well in strict classification labels or conversational AI. Training BERT involves next sentence prediction and mass language modeling to handle contextual understanding and coherent mapping.

Workshop

Jason Mayes

Come check out our workshop which will walk you through 3 common journeys when using TensorFlow.js. We will start with demonstrating how to use one of our pre-made models - super easy to use JS classes to get you working with ML fast. We will then look into how to retrain one of these models in minutes using in browser transfer learning via Teachable Machine and how that can be then used on your own custom website, and finally end with a hello world of writing your own model code from scratch to make a simple linear regression to predict fictional house prices based on their square footage.

Never Have an Unmaintainable Jupyter Notebook Again!

Marco Gorelli

Samsung R&D Institute UK

Jupyter Notebooks are important for data science, but maintaining them can be challenging. Visualizing data sets and using code quality tools like NBQA can help address these challenges. Tools like nbdime and Precommit can assist with version control and future code quality. Configuring NBQA and other code quality tools can be done in the PyProject.toml file. NBQA has been integrated into various projects' continuous integration workflows. Moving code from notebooks to Python packages should be considered based on the need for reproducibility and self-contained solutions.

Browser Session Analytics: The Key to Fraud Detection

Javier Alcaide Pérez

Bluetab Solutions

Blue Tab Solutions specializes in advanced analytics and big data, and recently improved financial fraud detection using Spark and the CRISPM methodology. They discovered insights like the correlation between fraudulent sessions and the mobile cast page accessed from the web application. The models created using decision trees, random forest classifiers, and gradient boosting classifiers were validated using the area under the ROC curve. The GVT classifier yielded the best result with a score of 0.94. Regular training is necessary for accurate models, and the next steps involve real-time action when fraud is detected.

Today's Talk explores image processing, computer vision, and their combination with machine learning. Image processing involves manipulating images, while computer vision extracts valuable information from images. Histograms are crucial in image processing as they represent the distribution of brightness values. Various image processing techniques can be used, such as thresholding and convolution. Computer vision techniques focus on extracting important features for object recognition and can be hand-tailored. Audio processing is not the focus of OpenCV, but TensorFlow libraries may be more suitable. Understanding the algorithms behind the code is important for robustness and effective debugging. Computer vision has applications in healthcare for cancer recognition and in agriculture for plant health monitoring.
