DESCRIPTION:HMMs are a very useful statistical framework\, but existing imp
 lementations often limit user creativity. With Julia\, we can have it all:
  custom probability distributions\, arbitrary types\, numerical stability\
 , automatic differentiation\, exogenous controls... without giving up on p
 erformance!\nThis talk will introduce the package `HiddenMarkovModels.jl` 
 and its main features\, but also share useful lessons about leveraging abs
 traction in scientific software.

DESCRIPTION:Automatic Differentiation (AD) is the art of letting your compu
 ter work out derivatives for you. The Julia ecosystem provides many differ
 ent AD tools\, which can be overwhelming. This talk will give everyone the
  necessary information to answer two simple questions:\n- As a developer\,
  how do I make my functions differentiable?\n- As a user\, how do I differ
 entiate through other people's functions?\n\nVideo: <https://www.youtube.c

DESCRIPTION:Interfaces.jl is an attempt to solve Julias lack of explicit in
 terface declarations. It provides macros to define and implement interface
 s concisely\, and functions to test and check that they are implemented co
 rrectly.\n\nIts subpackage BaseInterface.jl defines some common Base Julia
  interfaces using Interfaces.jl.\n\nThis talk will cover things learned wr
 iting and using the package\, and hopefully inspire some discussion on the
  future of interfaces in Julia more broadly.
