About us
PyData Chicago is a monthly meetup to discuss all things python (or R, Julia, C++, Rust, Go, ...) and data! Our meetup is now hybrid! Enjoy the event in person or virtually, hosted on Zoom. We usually meet on the last Thursday of the month.
All meetups are recorded and posted on PyData's YouTube channel 1 week after the event -- unless the speaker does not want to be recorded. Presentation decks, code and other artifacts from the meeting are also shared with all attendees subscribed to the Meetup event 1 week after the event -- with the permission of the speaker.
The PyData Code of Conduct governs this Meetup. To discuss any issues or concerns relating to the code of conduct or the behavior of anyone at a PyData meetup, please contact co-organizer Olivia Martin via Meetup's message feature.

How AI Can Enhance Survey Research
·HybridMerchandise Mart, 222 W Merchandise Mart Plaza, Chicago, IL 60654, Chicago, IL, USAbstract: Survey organizations face persistent challenges: declining response rates, rising data collection costs, and increasing demands for timely, high-quality insights. As AI reshapes industries across the globe, its integration into survey research offers a powerful opportunity to enhance operational efficiency and data quality, but also introduces potential pitfalls. This talk will describe how researchers at NORC at the University of Chicago, a nationally recognized non-partisan research institution, leverage AI to enhance quantitative social science research while managing its risks. We will focus on two use cases in particular: open-ended response classification and conversational interviewing. Our talk underscores the breadth of AI’s potential across the survey lifecycle and the importance of a structured framework to guide AI integration.
This is a hybrid event. To attend online, join us on Zoom here at 6pm:
