By: Joshua Herman This will be a tutorial based talk with a demo at the end on how to use conversational language models to make an interactive chatbot. The models that we will use are Blenderbot from Facebook Research and distilbert from google research / huggingface. We will also use Transformers from Huggingface which is an easy to use packaging and API for the above systems and also go over using speech recognition and text to speech to make interaction more fluid. At the end there will be an interactive demo. - PyScript - Python in the Web Browser By: Jeff Glass PyScript is a framework that allows users to create rich Python applications in the browser using HTML and the power of Pyodide, WASM, and modern web technologies. With Python running entirely within the browser-window, users can easily deploy Python scripts and applications with simple static hosting. In PyScript, Python can interoperate with existing JavaScript frameworks to leverage the vast world of existing web UI and visualization tech. And conversely, existing key Python libraries like numpy, pandas, open-cv, and more can be run - and their results beautifully displayed - in a zero-install environment for end users. Following this talk, attendees will be able to use PyScript in integrate Python directly in a webpage, integrate Python and JavaScript togther in the browser, and understand the fundamental challenges of running Python in a browser context.
