-I've only recently revived my website, and this part isn't properly
|
|
|
-populated yet.
|
|
|
+I've given a number of talks at conferences and other meetups over the
|
|
|
+years. Here are some of the materials for a few of them. My
|
|
|
+presentations tend to be less slide-dependent than some, so these
|
|
|
+materials are not guaranteed to be useful. If you're certain I've
|
|
|
+given a talk which you don't see here, but want access to the
|
|
|
+materials, let me know -- I may have them, I may not.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - I've given several talks (some multiple times) on machine learning:
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - Earlier this century, bayesian classifiers were all the rage. I
|
|
|
+ gave a talk at a few BarCamps [explaining Bayes'
|
|
|
+ Theorem](talks/bayes_theorem/) (an old S5 presentation, so
|
|
|
+ functionality not guaranteed).
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - Another popular talk was "[Write your own Bayesian
|
|
|
+ Classifier!](talks/your-own-bayes/)", which I'm ashamed to say I
|
|
|
+ sometimes tried to do in a 30-minute slot.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - I've given [a brief survey](talks/ml-primer) on machine
|
|
|
+ learning concepts and techniques.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - I once gave a [lightning talk about SVMs](talks/svm-lightning/).
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - I've given several talks on PostgreSQL. Most talks I've collected
|
|
|
+ here have videos of the presentations, rather than slides. The
|
|
|
+ quality of the videos varies, sorry.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - A few years back I gave a talk on [using postgres_fdw to
|
|
|
+ federate queries](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UZ1eqzOeIg0).
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - I did a bit of a [deep dive into postgres
|
|
|
+ partitions](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hl3FXv8uBUo).
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - A while back, I gave a talk about the current state of [using
|
|
|
+ postgres in cloud
|
|
|
+ environments](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4fIhhn74mtA). Cloud
|
|
|
+ environments have changed significantly in the intervening time,
|
|
|
+ so I can no longer stand by my recommendations in this talk.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - For the local PUG, I gave a somewhat tongue-in-cheek talk about
|
|
|
+ [two locking problems I had
|
|
|
+ encountered](talks/locking_war_stories/).
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - I've given a number of other talks, some for local python user
|
|
|
+ groups, some about other dynamic language issues. For a while, the
|
|
|
+ Portland Python User Group had a "module of the month"
|
|
|
+ feature. Here are two that I presented:
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - A comparison of [profile and cProfile](talks/profile-cprofile/)
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - A brief overview of the [multiprocessing
|
|
|
+ library](talks/multiprocessing)
