As AI accelerates, so too does the hype. But are we truly edging closer to Artificial General Intelligence – or are we hurtling down a path that demands a serious course correction? In this lively and thought-provoking panel discussion, experts explore where AI is really heading. They unpack the bold claims around AGI, question the […]
From cutting-edge machine learning to the complex realities of fraud prevention and experimentation at scale, this is a behind-the-scenes look at how data science is solving today’s toughest challenges – and shaping tomorrow’s opportunities. Hosted by the brilliant team at Deliveroo, you’ll hear short, fast-paced talks, network with fellow data practitioners, and leave energised with […]
Discover the secrets behind creating a top-tier Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) system in this exciting session. We’ll take you on a journey through the innovative steps and critical components that transformed our RAG system from good to great. Learn how we implemented an ensemble approach for information retrieval, combining the strengths of various embedding techniques. We’ll […]
Generative AI has transformed the way that that we consume, reason about, and produce content. This session will cover how large language model architectures have evolved into agentic systems, and how the performance of these systems can be observed and measured in practice. By the end of the session, attendees will understand the definition of […]
This session is tailored to help organisations evaluate their current data systems and identify obstacles that may be holding back AI adoption. Attendees will learn how to assess their data maturity and recognise the gaps between legacy processes and modern AI requirements. Amardeep will explore practical strategies for modernising outdated data ecosystems, including innovative integration […]
As AI agents become more capable, their role in the data science workflow is evolving—from mere accelerators to genuine collaborators. In this talk, Dr. Jason Hillary explores the realities of human-agent collaboration in AI and data science teams: where it shines, where it stumbles, and where it’s heading. Drawing from real-world implementations and research lab […]
Discover how iterative A/B testing empowers you to refine new products and features. It can be underwhelming and expensive to invest weeks of engineering effort in what appears to be a solid hypothesis, only to discover no statistically significant performance improvement. In practice, A/B test results are not always as black and white as ship […]
To apply or not to apply, that is the question. Causal reasoning elevates predictive outcomes by shifting from “what happened” to “what would happen if”. Yet, implementing causality can be challenging or even infeasible in some contexts. This talk explores how the very act of assessing its applicability can add value to your projects. Through […]
