10:45 AM - 12:15 PM IST Exploring Network Clusters
Deep-DiveANAND S, FOUNDER AND CEO, GRAMENER
Clustering is an unsupervised learning algorithm that has a lot of value to add when it comes to the grouping of data in a dataset. Entities in each group are comparatively more similar to entities of that group than those of the other groups. This talk explores network clustering as an approach for insights. We’ll explore real-world movie datasets — and show which actors are close to each other, and which film industries are most isolated. We’ll then see how network clustering can be applied to product networks, patent networks, and sports networks, and give you a comprehensive, industry-level understanding of the same.

Deep-DiveDURGA GADIRAJU, FOUNDER AND DIRECTOR, ITVERSITY CO-FOUNDER AND CTO, ANALYTIQS, INC.
Data Pipelines have enabled us to unlock the potential of utilizing big data. Companies are now able to optimize data transfer while securing it at the same time. With data collection, transformation, and transfer reaching new highs it had become necessary for companies to optimize costs and thus, shift this process to the cloud.
In this deep dive, we will build an end-to-end data pipeline using Python and SQL on AWS. You will be learning about several key services such as AWS s3, DynamoDB (for bookmarking), Cloudwatch (for monitoring), Lambda, ECR, Glue Catalog, Athena, etc along with Docker

Power TalkERIC WEBER, SENIOR DIRECTOR, STITCHFIX
Not everything we build in data science should be long lasting, but there are some investments that turn into long term assets, necessitating careful management, development and improvement.
This session focuses on the value of product thinking for building data science assets. Given the “one-off” nature of many data science projects, Eric will focus on some ideas about how to identify when a data asset should become a product and how to manage it like one.

09:15 AM - 10:00 AM IST Ethics and Responsibility in the Age of AI
KeynoteDR. ROHINI SRIVATHSA
The pace at which artificial intelligence (AI) is advancing is remarkable. As we look out at the next few years, one thing is clear: AI will be celebrated for its benefits but also scrutinized and, to some degree, feared. It is crucial that for AI to benefit everyone, it is developed and used in ways that warrant people’s trust. Conversations around topics like fairness and privacy are important in the context of intelligent systems that are increasingly making decisions that thus far were only made by humans. These conversations are complex, contextualized and require the engagement of societies globally.
After offering the “Why”, this talk will outline a set of principles for defining ethics and responsibility in the age of AI: the “What”. While principles are necessary, having them alone is not enough. The hard and essential work begins when you endeavor to turn those principles into practices: the “How”. Building blocks for operationalizing responsible AI include tools and techniques, but also require practices, governance mechanisms, standards as well as policy and regulatory interventions. AI ethics and responsibility is an evolving field with people across industry, academia, governments, and policy makers actively engaged, and the talk will summarize some of the recent developments in this space.

10:00 AM - 10:30 AM IST Bringing Intelligence to BI
Power TalkRAJAT MONGA, CO-FOUNDER, CEO, INFERENCE.IO, EX-HEAD TENSORFLOW - DISTINGUISHED ENGINEER/SR. DIRECTOR, GOOGLE US
AI has seen a lot of advancements over the last decade. These are visible in consumer products such as the assistants – Alexa, Siri, OK Google – better experiences such as Photos, and in something billions of people use every day – Google Search. There’s also amazing research pushing science forward – AlphaGo beating the world champion at Go and AlphaFold mastering protein folding – the latter has a huge impact on future drug discoveries.
This talk will discuss how AI can help businesses as well, by leveraging their data to improve business performance and how AI is shaping the future of BI.

Deep-DiveDR. HARSHAD KHADILKAR, SENIOR DATA SCIENTIST, DATA AND DECISION SCIENCES, TCS RESEARCH
In this highly competitive taxi service industry, anticipating the location of future customer requests and accordingly selecting routes is critical to gaining a competitive advantage. Such strategically selected routes would lead to shorter wait times for customers and reduced fuel costs for taxi drivers.
In this talk, we will discuss algorithms to achieve this goal both for the traditional scenario where a customer hires the entire taxi as well as the more recent ride-sharing model. Through extensive empirical evaluation of real datasets, we will present evidence that the proposed strategies lead to up to 70% shorter waiting times for customers, 40% more customers, and a 20% lower rejection rate.
