Data Makers Fest

MON, SEPT 23 | 9:30 AM WEST

Detail

Our partner, Nuno Brás, will be a speaker at Data Makers Fest on 25th September. He’ll present a talk titled “Performance of Generative Systems - a “Data Science” Approach,” where he’ll share insights from over 15 challenging national and international Generative AI projects. Nuno will highlight how traditional data science and engineering practices remain crucial, emphasizing that beyond avoiding hallucinations and ensuring observability, delivered value metrics are key indicators of success.‍Data Makers Fest is a must-attend event for data professionals of all levels. Over two dynamic days, participants from diverse fields will gather to learn, network, and innovate. Whether you’re a seasoned data scientist or a beginner, this event aims to inspire, empower, and drive your career forward.
