I am not a fan of the Angular-way in Angular1, as I think it looks rather strange. Nevertheless, Angular2 gives a much better impression in terms of code structure, code purity, and scalability. While they didn’t reinvent the wheel, its creators have built something interesting and spectacular that stacks up well against modern frameworks (React and Redux, Aurelia, etc.).

Our team have been building data science products together for almost one year now. We believe that data scientists and data engineers should work closely together, yet we understand the differences in the environments and tasks that each of us perform. In this vein, we have iterated the way we do data science, specially early stage exploratory data science with large datasets.

Software leaders who are building applications based on Large Language Models (LLMs) often find it a challenge to achieve reliability. It’s no surprise given the non-deterministic nature of LLMs. To effectively create reliable LLM-based (often with RAG) applications, extensive testing and evaluation processes are crucial. This often ends up involving meticulous adjustments to prompts.

This year was RecSys’ 10th anniversary, and we were lucky enough to be in attendance. The evolution of the conference is great to see – it has grown from a mid-size event beginning in 2009, to an ever-sold-out conference in the past few years, with one of the bests mixes of industry and academia you can find. It also has an open and welcoming community, where the standard of work being presented is incredibly high.
