SUMMARY:LLMs for Tabular Data
DESCRIPTION:Details\n\n\nReading Group: LLMs for Tabular Data \nWhile Large Language Models (LLMs) and video generation are currently getting a lot of exposure\, a significant share of the world’s data still sits in tables such as Excel spreadsheets. This session’s paper is a survey of how we may be able to use the breakthroughs from LLMs to make predictions on tabular data. \nPaper: “Large Language Models (LLMs) on Tabular Data: Prediction\, Generation\, and Understanding — A Survey”\nLink: https://arxiv.org/abs/2402.17944 \nPlease try to read at least some of the paper. These discussions are most interesting when many attendees have spent time with the topic beforehand. The goal of the event is for us all to meet and learn from each other. \nWho is this meeting for?\nAnyone interested in Data Science and Machine Learning. We aim to have the discussion at an intermediate to advanced level\, but we welcome people of all levels. \n\nDiscussion Format:\nWe give everyone a chance to share what they have learned and ask questions about where they got stuck. Those who did not look at materials beforehand or would just like to listen are welcome to pass their turn. \nMeeting Schedule:\n– 6:00 – 6:30: Arrive / informal chat\n– 6:30 – 6:35: Introductions\n– 6:35 – 7:25: Discussion\n– 7:25 – 7:30: Nominate and vote for the next meeting’s topic\n– 7:30: Meeting ends \nWe hope to see you there!

SUMMARY:Navigating NZ’s Tech Scene
DESCRIPTION:Our panellists have been hiring and recruiting technology professionals for a long time now and some of the best hires that they have ever worked with are originally from overseas. We often meet people coming into New Zealand with excellent technical skills but lack the ability to sell themselves in an interview. In fact\, many of them are great but they are not familiar with the art of interviewing (especially with English not being their first language). They also get told that they don’t have enough local experience’ which is a classic reply. What does local experience even mean? Does it mean ‘culture/team fit’ does it mean ‘ability to speak English properly’ ? \nJoin our panel discussion to explore strategies for fair and inclusive hiring practices.
