A day in the life of a functional data scientist
A day in the life of a functional data scientist
Time:
Friday, 5:30pm - 6:00pm
Abstract:
Data science is hard, not just because of the complex algorithms and mathematics, but because it's easy to make a small mistake that can ruin days or even weeks of work. In this talk you'll see how ideas and tools from functional programming can save you time, how they can prevent some of these mistakes, and how I incorporate them into my everyday workflow.
Richard Minerich works tirelessly at Bayard Rock to apply cutting
edge research to anti-money laundering and fraud while using typed
functional programming whenever possible. As an F# MVP he's been
running events, speaking, and writing for over five years. You can
often find him at one of his events, the monthly NYC F# User Group and
the yearly NYC F# Tutorials. He also helps run the NY Haskell Users
Group.
