On 7 June, 2023, at 6pm UK time (1pm EDT), we will be presenting in the webinar Dash in Action: Image Processing, Forecasting, NLP. This is a community showcase hosted by Plotly, a company in Canada which makes the graphing software Plotly.
Sign up for the webinar at https://go.plotly.com/dash-in-action!
The speakers come from a variety of backgrounds, organisations and industries, all over the world:

We will be presenting the following apps:
Thomas Wood has developed a dashboard funded by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation to analyse the risk of a clinical trial failing. The Foundation had a number of incoming clinical trials and they had a need to identify risk factors and triage the trials. When someone runs a clinical trial, they write a 200-page document which is called a protocol, which describes how the trial will be run, where it takes place, how many participants are needed, and how the data collected will be analyzed. Thomas built some natural language processing models which can identify risk factors in the text, and developed a front end in Dash allowing users to run the models and understand the decision making process.

Gabriele Albini has developed a dashboard which allows users to experiment with sARIMA models (seasonal autoregressive integrated moving average). sARIMA models are models which allow us to predict time series with seasonality. For example, you may use a sARIMA model to predict daily electricity loads for a building or city, or to predict customer spend for a large supermarket.

Matteo Trachsel works for the environmental consultancy Thermoplan and has developed a dashboard which calculates the carbon footprint of coffee machine usage.

Agah Karakuzu at Polytechnique Montréal has built the RRSG 2020 Dashboard to accompany a scientific article on MRI. Neuroscientists are interested in a value called T1, which is the time it takes water molecules in the brain to return to their original state following a magnetic pulse. The purpose of the study was to assess the reproducibility of T1 values across different sites and vendors where researchers used the same research protocol. The dashboard allows researchers to compare datasets from brains and phantoms (calibration devices containing water, used to test MRI machines) from the three main MRI machine vendors (Phillips, GE and Siemens). This will be demonstrated by his colleague Nadia Blostein.

Fast Data Science are pleased to announce the release Clinical Trial Data Lookup plugin for Google Sheets. It lets you look up data for multiple clinical trials by NCT ID and fills out information such as condition, sponsor, endpoints, or protocol URL in different columns.
Why are product returns a problem? Large businesses like Amazon can swallow the cost of product returns, and generally account for it, but if you’re running a small business a single return can be very expensive. However, product returns can be a major problem for small and large businesses and it is helpful to identify when this is likely to occur.
