Wes McKinney, Director of Ursa Labs and creator of pandas project, presented the keynote, "Advancing Data Science Through Open Source" at Rev. McKinney's keynote covered open source's symbiotic relationship with data science and the importance of community-led open source. This blog post includes distilled highlights, the full video, and transcript of the keynote.

Over the past few years, we’ve seen a new community of data science leaders emerge.

At Rev, Nick Elprin, Domino's CEO, continued to provide insights on managing data science based upon years of candid discussions with customers. He also delved into how data science leaders can utilize model management and help their companies become successful model-driven organizations. This blog post provides a distilled summary of the whitepaper, "Introducing Model Management". The whitepaper is a companion to his talk and is also available for download.

In this post, Josh Poduska, Chief Data Scientist at Domino Data Lab, advocates for a common taxonomy of terms within the data science industry. The proposed definitions enable data science professionals to cut through the hype and increase the speed of data science innovation.

Kate Crawford discussed bias at a recent SF-based City Arts and Lectures talk and a recording of the discussion will be broadcast, May 6th, on KQED and local affiliates. Members of Domino were in the live audience for the City Arts talk. This Domino Data Science Field Note provides insights excerpted from Crawford’s City Arts talk and from her NIPS keynote for additional breadth, depth and context for our data science blog readers. This blog post covers Crawford’s research that includes bias as a socio-technical challenge, implications when systems are trained on and ingest biased data, model interpretability, and recommendations for addressing bias.
