    Time for some (extreme) distillation with Thomas van Dongen - founder of the Minish Lab

    Word embeddings might feel like they are a little bit out of fashion. After all, we have attention mechanisms and transformer models now, right? Well, it turns out that if you apply distillation the right way you can actually get highly performant word embeddings out. It's a technique featured by the model2vec project from the Minish lab and in this episode we talk to the founder to learn more about the technique.

    Imbalanced learn: regrets and onwards - with Guillaume Lemaitre, maintainer

    Imbalanced learn is one of the most popular scikit-learn projects out there. It has support for resampling techniques which historically have always been used for imbalanced classification use-cases. However, now that we are a few years down the line, it may be time to start rethinking the library. As it turns out, other techniques may be preferable. We talk to the maintainer, Guillaume Lemaitre, to discuss the lessons that have been learned over the last decade.

    You want to be in control of your own Copilot - with Ty Dunn, co-founder at Continue.dev

    There are many LLMs that you can use for programming these days. Some of them even go into your IDE like Cursor or Github Copilot. But what if you want to tweak these LLMs do to what you want? Instead of being stuck with the tools that a vendor gives you, the goal of Continue.dev is to allow you to customise this yourself. In this podcast we talk to Ty Dunn, co-founder of the project to learn more about this. If you are curious to learn more about this effort, please check out https://continue.dev.

  4. What it is like to maintain the scikit-learn docs - with David Arturo Amor Quiroz, scikit-learn docs maintainer

    What it is like to maintain the scikit-learn docs - with David Arturo Amor Quiroz, scikit-learn docs maintainer

    Scikit-learn's documentation pages are celebrated. But not everyone is aware that the project actually has somebody on payroll to take care of it. In this episode we talk to Arturo about stories from the scikit-learn documentation. In particular, the docs have a recommender that few folks are aware of. People just assume that it is manually curated, but there are a few base scikit-learn tools under the hood there.

    Sqlite can totally do embeddings now - with Alex Garcia, sqlite-vec maintainer

    Vector databases are kind of everywhere these days. There is a big pool of VC's that are pooring money into the ecosystem too. But while all of that is happening, sqlite has also gotten support for it. In this episode we talk the Alex Garcia, the maintainer of this project, and discuss how the project got created on what the future has in store.

    How to rethink the notebook - with Akshay Agrawal, co-creator of Marimo

    Jupyter has been a great environment to explore computational ideas, but that doesn't mean that it can be the only environment for interactive coding in Python. It also comes with some downsides, which led Akshay Agrawal to create an alternative called Marimo. We discussed it in a previous livestream and figured that it was time to sit down with the creator to learn what led to the development of this exciting new too. You can learn more about Marimo by going to their website over at https://marimo.io To learn more you can check out website or reach out to us on social media.

  7. You are always dealing with many tables - with Madelon Hulsebos

    You are always dealing with many tables - with Madelon Hulsebos

    When you are working on a data pipeline for ML ... you are never dealing with a single table. It always demands different tables for different reasons that all have to be mashed together in order to have something that you can learn from. But if that is the case, why do we spend so much time talking about ML pipelines that only work on a single table? Madelon Hulsebos has a Phd on the topic and so we figured that we might ask her. As mentioned in the podcast, here is the link to Madelon's homepage. https://www.madelonhulsebos.com/ Some links to interesting articles from Madelon, as well as her homepage, can be found below. https://www.madelonhulsebos.com/assets/dataset_search_survey.pdf https://dl.acm.org/doi/pdf/10.1145/3654975 https://dl.acm.org/doi/pdf/10.1145/3588710

  8. How Narwhals has many end users ... that never use it directly with Marco Gorelli

    How Narwhals has many end users ... that never use it directly with Marco Gorelli

    When you pip install a package you will for sure end up using it later. But often you will also install a bunch of dependencies and it is very likely that you won't directly interact with all of them. That does not mean that such a package is not useful, it merely means that the package might be directly used by a maintainer instead. This is interesting, because recently one such tool came into existence. It is called Narwhals and it seems to be on track to become critical infrastructure for data science projects. We have the maintainer of Narwhals on the show this week to talk about it. To learn more about Narwhals, you can check the repository here: https://github.com/narwhals-dev/narwhals This podcast is part of the open efforts over at probabl.
