Steven Kolawole
Steven Kolawole has his technical skillset cuts across Data Science and Software Engineering, with a bias for ML Research these days. His research interests focus on resource-efficient machine learning in terms of computational resources and low-resource/limited labeled data.
He is and has been heavily involved in varieties of ML subfields including ML Engineering, Software Engineering, Data Engineering, Data Science/Analytics, and Cloud Computing.
Steven is also big on knowledge sharing via community mentorship and collective growth, open-source development, meetups facilitation, speakership, technical writing, research, and he gets kicks from helping tech muggles find their feet.
Session
The use of transfer learning has begun a golden era in applications of Machine Learning but the development of these models “democratically” is still in the dark ages compared to best practices in Software Engineering. I describe how methods of open-source software development can allow models to be built by a distributed community of researchers.
