In this talk, I will show how you can use ScalaPy to leverage an excellent NLP library like Spacy, minimizing your discomfort of using Python, and enhancing your comfort with Scala 3 for the remaining parts of your application.
In many domains of computer science, state-of-the-art frameworks are written in Python. Natural Language Processing (NLP) is such a domain, and if you want to use cutting-edge approaches, you have to resort to Python libraries. In this talk, I will show how you can use ScalaPy to leverage an excellent NLP library like Spacy, minimizing your discomfort of using Python, and enhancing your comfort with Scala 3 for the remaining parts of your application. I will show everything from configuring your (minimal) environment to interacting with Python, defining facades, and controlling memory usage.
Drawing on 25 years of experience as a professional musician and record producer, this will be a beginner focused talk introducing the use of Scala.js and the web audio api for building Scala powered Web Audio Applications.
Join me for a fun and possibly opinionated talk about the state of Scala and other JVM languages.
In this talk, we will demonstrate some elegant applications of functional programming in Scala, with even more elegant visual results - all with live code and real-time output.
This talk aims to equip the audience with the minimum required bagage to get comfortable working with contravariance.
