(45 Minutes)
By: Felipe Hoffa, Developer Advocate
Experience Level: Intermediate
Slides Link

In this session we will perform a full exploration of the Snowpark ML Toolkit using dbt Python models on the dbt Cloud without any package installation. You will learn how Snowflake improves on familiar ML libraries like Scikit-Learn and XGBoost to make them scale within its scalable runtime.

 

During this session you will: 

  • Start with 50,000 rows and scale to 50 million rows on various data transformations with the toolkit
  • Train and predict a dbt Python model with XGBoost
  • Switch between SQL and Python transformations in a pipeline where dbt takes care of the boilerplate code when pushing to Snowflake

Secret Storytelling in Python
(30 Minutes)
By: Raymond Berg
Experience Level: Intermediate

Everyone in 2020 developed a new hobby, mine was tabletop storytelling. I started searching for tools that would help me keep track of the complex relationships inside the stories, but nothing fit my desires for a fast and easy-to-use wiki to keep track of our lore. In this talk, I'll introduce you to secret-wiki, a project I started to make editing and sharing more fun. React + FastAPI.
