π Talk: Foursquareβs Movements Engine: From Raw Data to Normalized User Behavior
Speaker: Stefan Hacko, Foursquare
In this talk, we'll uncover how Foursquare transformed raw GPS data into powerful insights, turning noisy, fragmented location pings into meaningful user behavior patterns. Learn how cutting-edge machine learning algorithms, combined with smart data context, help tackle the challenges of large-scale geospatial analysis, ensuring accuracy and privacy. Weβll also reveal the techniques used to eliminate biases and make sense of petabytes of data, empowering smarter decisions and deeper analytics.
π When: February 6, 18:00 β 21:00

π Talk: Assessing Spoken English Skills with Machine Learning
Speaker: Nemanja ΔukariΔ, ZenHire | Logikka
Evaluating spoken English skills is crucial for roles such as customer support representatives, teachers, and other communication-focused professions. In this talk, we present a solution for assessing pronunciation, vocabulary, and fluency using audio and text processing techniques. We will explore data labelling, selected machine learning models, and the supporting infrastructure behind the solution. Additionally, weβll take a closer look at an experimental approach designed specifically for evaluating vocabulary proficiency.

π Talk: Evaluating a RAG: From Retrieval to Generated Answers
Speaker: Vladimir Ageev, EPAM Systems
Since Retrieval-Augmented Generation is one of the most popular types of LLM applications today, it is important to control and evaluate its quality, how well the answers are grounded in a given context. In this talk, we will cover the common RAG components, such as retrieval and ranking, as well as answer generation with an LLM, and review approaches to their evaluation, both classical and LLM-based.
