What we’re about

Welcome to Data Science Dojo's Meetup group. Our goal is to help connect other like-minded business professionals who are interested in teaching, learning, and sharing their knowledge and understanding of data science to a larger community.

We encourage all members of this group to be pro-active in leading discussions on topics related to data science like machine learning, artificial intelligence, predictive analytics, big data, and IoT, as well as programming languages such as R, Hadoop, and Python.

Stay tuned to our Meetup calendar for future community events and be sure to follow us on Twitter at @DataScienceDojo. Also, be sure to visit our data science bootcamp for more information about our training.

Wed, Apr 30, 2025, 6:00 PM UTCMastering Skewed Datasets: Practical Techniques for Better Insights and Models
Link visible for attendees
Struggling with skewed datasets that lead to biased models and inaccurate insights? Join us for an insightful live tutorial where we break down essential techniques to handle skewed data effectively. We will dive into the theoretical foundations behind these methods, helping you understand how to transform skewed datasets into meaningful insights and build better-performing models.

We will explore key techniques to address data skewness, including normalization and transformation methods to adjust distributions, resampling approaches like SMOTE for oversampling and under sampling techniques, and stratified sampling to ensure balanced dataset representation, with hands-on Python demonstrations to reinforce each concept.

What You’ll Learn:

Gain a deep understanding of how skewed datasets impact machine learning models and analytical outcomes.

Step-by-step Python implementations of techniques to address data skewness, including normalization and transformation methods, resampling approaches like SMOTE, and stratified sampling.

Breakdown of the theoretical foundations behind these methods to understand how to apply them effectively in real-world scenarios and when to use each approach for optimal results.

Explore how language models deal with imbalanced text data, techniques for managing rare words and underrepresented topics, and bias mitigation strategies in NLP models.

Wed, May 7, 2025, 5:00 PM UTCPart 1: What is an AI Agent? | Evaluating AI Agents with Arize AI
Link visible for attendees
Agentic AI systems are rapidly transforming how we approach problem-solving in artificial intelligence. In Part 1 of our community series with Arize AI, we lay the groundwork for understanding what is an AI agent, its architectures, and design patterns — setting the stage for building smarter, more adaptive systems.

Explore the core building blocks of AI agents, from memory and planning to tool-use and role specialization. Learn the differences between single-agent and multi-agent setups, and take a guided tour of today’s most popular frameworks like LangGraph, AutoGen, and Crew AI. Through real-world examples and interactive tracing demos using Arize Phoenix, you will gain practical insight into how to build and debug agents effectively.

What we will cover:

Understand what is an AI agent and what makes an AI system an “agent” — and the essential components involved, including memory, planning, and tool use.

Learn the differences between single-agent and multi-agent systems and when to use each.

Explore what is an AI agent in various architectures like Router-Tool, ReAct, hierarchical, and swarm-based setups.

Dive into real-world design patterns and use cases, such as task routing, tool chaining, and role specialization.

Uncover common failure modes like infinite loops, brittle planning, and tool misuse — and how to spot them early.

Preview the need for better evaluation methods in agentic systems and why tracing and observability are crucial.

Watch a live walkthrough of a simple agent trace using Arize Phoenix to understand what is an AI agent and how evaluation and debugging works in practice.
