737: scikit-learn's Past, Present and Future, with scikit-learn co-founder Dr. Gaël Varoquaux

scikit-learn co-founder Gaël Varoquaux and Jon Krohn are live at the historic Sorbonne in Paris, where they discuss the evolution of scikit-learn. From its origins as a memory-efficient Python implementation of support vector machines to its present-day status as a pivotal resource in machine learning, Gaël paints a vivid picture of its remarkable growth. Join us for a glimpse into scikit-learn's evolution, the realm of open-source collaboration, and the transformative power of data-driven insights in today's dynamic data landscape.
