The power of community: training a Transformer Language Model on a shoestringSujit Pal
I recently participated in a community event to train an ALBERT language model for the Bengali language. The event was organized by Neuropark, Hugging Face, and Yandex Research. The training was done collaboratively in a distributed manner using free GPU resources provided by Colab and Kaggle. Volunteers were recruited on Twitter and project coordination happened on Discord. At its peak, there were approximately 50 volunteers from all over the world simultaneously engaged in training the model. The distributed training was done on the Hivemind platform from Yandex Research, and the software to train the model in a data-parallel manner was developed by Hugging Face. In this talk I provide my perspective of the project as a somewhat curious participant. I will describe the Hivemind platform, the training regimen, and the evaluation of the language model on downstream tasks. I will also cover some challenges we encountered that were peculiar to the Bengali language (and Indic languages in general).

General vectorization techniques for different attribute types like nominal, ordinal, interval and ratio are also overviewed along with feature engineering methods and the Canova tool.
Building a Neural Machine Translation System From ScratchNatasha Latysheva
Human languages are complex, diverse and riddled with exceptions – translating between different languages is therefore a highly challenging technical problem. Deep learning approaches have proved powerful in modelling the intricacies of language, and have surpassed all statistics-based methods for automated translation. This session begins with an introduction to the problem of machine translation and discusses the two dominant neural architectures for solving it – recurrent neural networks and transformers. A practical overview of the workflow involved in training, optimising and adapting a competitive neural machine translation system is provided. Attendees will gain an understanding of the internal workings and capabilities of state-of-the-art systems for automatic translation, as well as an appreciation of the key challenges and open problems in the field.
Much of data is sequential – think speech, text, DNA, stock prices, financial transactions and customer action histories. Modern methods for modelling sequence data are often deep learning-based, composed of either recurrent neural networks (RNNs) or attention-based Transformers. A tremendous amount of research progress has recently been made in sequence modelling, particularly in the application to NLP problems. However, the inner workings of these sequence models can be difficult to dissect and intuitively understand.
This presentation/tutorial will start from the basics and gradually build upon concepts in order to impart an understanding of the inner mechanics of sequence models – why do we need specific architectures for sequences at all, when you could use standard feed-forward networks? How do RNNs actually handle sequential information, and why do LSTM units help longer-term remembering of information? How can Transformers do such a good job at modelling sequences without any recurrence or convolutions?
In the practical portion of this tutorial, attendees will learn how to build their own LSTM-based language model in Keras. A few other use cases of deep learning-based sequence modelling will be discussed – including sentiment analysis (prediction of the emotional valence of a piece of text) and machine translation (automatic translation between different languages).
The goals of this presentation are to provide an overview of popular sequence-based problems, impart an intuition for how the most commonly-used sequence models work under the hood, and show that quite similar architectures are used to solve sequence-based problems across many domains.
The document summarizes the 26th International Conference on Computational Linguistics (COLING) held in Osaka, Japan in December 2016.

- Ramu Pulipati presented on Botsplash's journey to implement continuous integration and delivery (CI/CD) processes. They initially used shell scripts and Ansible but found deployment took too long. They then tried Circle CI but had issues with dynamic IP ranges and SSH key distribution. They moved to using AWS Code Suite (CodeBuild, CodeDeploy, CodePipeline) but found it added complexity and was difficult to evolve. Their lessons were to start simple, set clear goals, and accomplish them incrementally rather than taking on too much at once.

Visual complexity can both increase and decrease consumer engagement on social media. The researchers analyzed over 630,000 Instagram posts from 633 brands to understand how different dimensions of visual complexity impact engagement, as measured by likes. They found an inverted U-shape relationship between luminance variation/edge density and engagement, suggesting moderate levels maximize it. The number and dissimilarity of concepts positively impacted engagement when interacting, while increased visual clutter decreased it. Overall, the study suggests visual complexity can engage consumers on social media if its different dimensions are properly balanced.
The document discusses live chat versus chat bots and proposes a solution using both. It notes that live chat is time consuming and expensive while bots are a one-time build that are good for repetitive tasks. However, bots have limitations around context switching and understanding. The proposed solution is a chat platform that allows both agents and bots to engage customers across channels, with bots handling automated interactions and intelligence features to help bots understand context and language within a business domain.

TrustArc Webinar: Consumer Expectations vs Corporate Realities on Data Broker...TrustArc
Most consumers believe they’re making informed decisions about their personal data—adjusting privacy settings, blocking trackers, and opting out where they can. However, our new research reveals that while awareness is high, taking meaningful action is still lacking. On the corporate side, many organizations report strong policies for managing third-party data and consumer consent yet fall short when it comes to consistency, accountability and transparency.
This session will explore the research findings from TrustArc’s Privacy Pulse Survey, examining consumer attitudes toward personal data collection and practical suggestions for corporate practices around purchasing third-party data.
Attendees will learn:
- Consumer awareness around data brokers and what consumers are doing to limit data collection
- How businesses assess third-party vendors and their consent management operations
- Where business preparedness needs improvement
- What these trends mean for the future of privacy governance and public trust
This discussion is essential for privacy, risk, and compliance professionals who want to ground their strategies in current data and prepare for what’s next in the privacy landscape.

DevOpsDays Atlanta 2025 - Building 10x Development Organizations.pptxJustin Reock
Building 10x Organizations with Modern Productivity Metrics
10x developers may be a myth, but 10x organizations are very real, as proven by the influential study performed in the 1980s, ‘The Coding War Games.’
Right now, here in early 2025, we seem to be experiencing YAPP (Yet Another Productivity Philosophy), and that philosophy is converging on developer experience. It seems that with every new method we invent for the delivery of products, whether physical or virtual, we reinvent productivity philosophies to go alongside them.
But which of these approaches actually work? DORA? SPACE? DevEx? What should we invest in and create urgency behind today, so that we don’t find ourselves having the same discussion again in a decade?
