Scikit-learn (sklearn) is the essential Python library for efficient, production-ready machine learning, built on NumPy and SciPy.

Scikit-learn (sklearn) is the industry-standard Python library, providing a unified API for efficient predictive data analysis. It delivers robust, open-source implementations of core machine learning algorithms: classification (e.g., Support Vector Machines, Random Forests), regression (e.g., Linear Regression), and clustering (K-Means, DBSCAN). Built on the foundational scientific stack (NumPy, SciPy), its consistent Estimator API simplifies complex data science workflows. Developers use it to quickly move from data preprocessing (StandardScaler) to model evaluation (accuracy_score) and pipeline construction in production environments.

### [Rediscovering Perception for Data-Starved, Feature-Poor Data](https://raleigh.aitinkerers.org/talks/rsvp_Um-axzkRebQ)

As with many others who did early AI/ML research in the 2000s–10s, long before deep learning dominated vision tasks, I approached image classification using white-box pipelines grounded in feature engineering and psychophysics. The task at hand, monochrome cork defect classification, relied on perceptual cues humans use such as contrast, granularity, and directionality, and on engineered texture descriptors to capture them (Laws’ Textural Energy Measures, Gabor wavelets, second-order grayscale metrics, model-based textural analysis, and 3D texture analysis). Eye-tracking provided important saliency information that informed the textural analysis work. This produced an interpretable system where most of the “intelligence” lived in the feature extraction itself, and the classifier, here a simple back-propagation network with C-fuzzy activation rules, served only as the final decision layer. The system worked because the features were informed by how humans actually perceive texture, a fully transparent, explainable workflow. Fast-forward to today’s deep learning era. My first attempt to test how well deep learning sees textures used a standard ResNet classifier with transfer learning. It failed catastrophically: ResNet architectures are optimized for large, labeled, natural-image datasets with color and semantic structure, not small, grayscale, high-frequency texture datasets like cork. The network overfit quickly and struggled to learn meaningful texture embeddings from limited supervised labels. This led me to evaluate SimCLR, a self-supervised contrastive method developed at Google Research. SimCLR does not require labels to learn representations; instead, it learns invariances through augmentations, making it far better suited for texture-rich, monochrome data. Because cork images differ mostly in subtle local patterns, contrastive learning is able to discover structure that supervised ResNets fail to capture. This is still a work in progress with much to explore, but SimCLR seems to automate what I once had to engineer by hand: learning robust perceptual features directly from the data. In this demo, I will compare the two paradigms and show my progress with SimCLR, and why learned embeddings outperform standard deep CNNs for this type of feature-poor, data-starved perception task. The goal is not only to report results, but to reflect on what each method teaches us about perception, representation, and how machines “learn to see.”

### [Automating error analysis - what works and what doesn't](https://liverpool.aitinkerers.org/talks/rsvp_9LjshIDL1Do)

Error analysis is known to be the highest ROI step in building reliable agents that work. However, as agent & task complexity grow, manual approaches to it become prohibitive, and naive ways of automating it remain unsatisfying. How *should* developers scale up this key step in agent evaluation? Here, I'll present our recent findings on what works - and what doesn't - when automating error analysis. TL;DR: we can do a lot better than stuffing everything into an LLM, with a bit of intentional context engineering and task decomposition.

### [IA + ML + Quantum Classification with IBM Quantum Computing](https://pereira.aitinkerers.org/talks/rsvp_3BaPmpS9T3E)

En este proyecto exploramos el uso de algoritmos de clasificación implementados con IBM Quantum Computing utilizando circuitos cuánticos de qubits. Contrastamos su rendimiento con la versión clásica del algoritmo para medir tiempos y eficiencia. Durante la experimentación descubrimos que el mayor reto no estaba en la cuántica en sí, sino en cómo se construían los cálculos: crear un circuito y un statevector para cada punto y cada centroide volvía el proceso ineficiente en Python. La solución fue usar un feature map simple (rotaciones RY sin entrelazamiento), que permite calcular la fidelidad cuántica mediante una fórmula cerrada y vectorización con NumPy, evitando la construcción de circuitos en cada paso. Esto transformó el cuello de botella en operaciones matriciales rápidas (cos, mul, argmax) y permitió comparar de manera más justa contra KMeans de scikit-learn.

### [Finding My Voice in AI: A Journey of Learning and Growth](https://regensburg.aitinkerers.org/talks/rsvp_KYEWsoAU8Yg)

As a master’s student in Applied AI for Digital Production Management at Deggendorf Institute of Technology, I am still at the beginning of my journey in AI. I come from a background where women don’t always have the opportunity to speak up or share their ideas freely. This makes it especially meaningful for me to explore technical spaces like this. While I don’t have a finished demo yet, I’d love to briefly share my ideas for potential thesis topics, and how I’m working to build the skills I need to bring them to life. My focus is on learning every day, asking questions, and slowly becoming more confident in my technical abilities.

### [Finding Patent Prior Art with AI](https://chicago.aitinkerers.org/talks/rsvp_vHz4JF0Wu5U)

Patents form the cornerstone of innovation protection, with the USPTO processing over 600,000 applications annually representing billions in economic value. To get a patent, an invention must be genuinely novel—but proving novelty is a complex, time-consuming process that costs companies tens of thousands of dollars per application. Patent examiners and professionals spend countless hours searching for "prior art" that might show an invention already exists. In this talk, I will demonstrate an AI-powered system that not only identifies relevant prior art but provides detailed mapping between patent claims and existing disclosures, enabling patent examiners to quickly evaluate patentability and transform the examination process.
