What we’re about
ODSC brings together the open source and data science communities with the goal of helping its members learn, connect and grow.
The focus of this Meetup group is to allow ODSC to work with Meetup groups, non-profits, and other organizations to present informative lectures, workshops, code sprints and networking events to help grow the use of open source languages and tools within the data science and data-centric community. As such, our specific goals are:
1. Build a collaborative group to work with other Meetup groups, non-profits, and other organizations.
2. Promote the use of open source languages and tools amongst data scientists and others.
3. Host educational workshops.
4. Spread awareness of new open source languages and tools that can be used in data science.
5. Contribute back to the open source community.
Who is this meetup for?
• Data engineers, analysts, scientists, and other practitioners
• R, Python and other software engineers who work with data or want to learn
• Data visualization developers and designers
• Non-technical team leads, executives, and other decision makers from data centric startups and large companies looking to utilize open source tools

Pre-registration is REQUIRED.
Add to your calendar - https://hubs.li/Q031q6rj0Time-series data permeates our world, pulsing through financial markets, meteorological patterns, sensor networks, and countless other domains. Despite their ubiquity, generative AI techniques for time-series remain far less explored compared to the well-established approaches in language, image, and audio processing.
This presentation delves into the cutting-edge landscape of foundation models for time-series analysis. We will explore specialized neural architectures designed to unravel the complex temporal dynamics of sequential data and demonstrate how open-source models can unlock powerful predictive capabilities and insights.
Speaker: Stefan Webb PhD, Developer Advocate at Zilliz
