Talk #1
Boosting Time Series Accuracy: The Power of Ensemble Methods I Robert Haase @paretos
This talk explores the practical application of ensemble methods in time series analysis, based on Robert’s extensive experience at paretos. It covers various ensembling approaches, highlighting their effectiveness in different real-world scenarios. Attendees will gain insights into which methods perform best in practice, supported by behind-the-scenes examples of successful implementations. The session provides valuable strategies for improving predictive accuracy, making it ideal for anyone looking to leverage ensemble techniques in their time series projects.
Talk #2
Confidence in SQL Development through Unit Testing I Tobias Lampert @Lotum
As data-driven applications grow, robust SQL development practices are crucial. This talk explores the challenges of maintaining complex SQL models in Data Warehouses and highlights the importance of unit testing in ensuring data quality. Attendees will learn how SQL unit testing validates modeling logic, prevents breaking changes, and supports faster deployment cycles. The session features Lotum’s Python-based SQL unit testing framework for BigQuery, which processes millions of daily events from mobile games. Discover how using small, static mock data simplifies testing and helps identify code errors efficiently.
