Summary Most of the time when you think about a data pipeline or ETL job what comes to mind is a purely mechanistic progression of functions that move data from point A to point B. Sometimes, however, one of those transformations is actually a full-fledged machine learning project in its own right. In this episode Tal Galfsky explains how he and the team at Cherre tackled the problem of messy data for Addresses by building a natural language processing and entity resolution system that is served

Our latest Influential Women in Data session featured Brenda Le Sueur from Cambridge Assessments. Brenda has worked across many organisations and continents, but what has always been crucial to her is relationships – how we cultivate them, how we nurture them and how they, in turn, define us. I sat down with Brenda to ask her about her journey as a woman in tech and understand more about the impact of relationships on our career.

Building an open source tool to connect data to many different services means a lot of integrations. It can be pretty tricky, so we were lucky to meet Pedro S Lopez a few weeks back when he started adding several plugins to that integration list. He has now come aboard officially and will work more on the core product. Pedro makes the Grouparoo team an international one.

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.

Two fun facts about SQLite : The initial release was more than 20 years ago! It is the most widely used database (and likely one of the most widely deployed pieces of software). And here are a few of my opinions on SQLite: It's super cool. We don't talk about it enough. It's actually really easy to use (which is likely why it's so widely used).
