Human inspection is always a valuable addition to machine learning pipelines. To facilitate the manual moderation process, we built PinQueue, a generic content review system.

There are a few upcoming speaking gigs this March 2016:

• flossUK Spring Conference – 15-17 March 2016, London
• FOSSASIA – 18-20 March 2016, Singapore

Two talks in London and one keynote in Singapore, while I will also moderate the database track on the last day of the conference as well. I’ve never been to flossUK before, but the schedule looks very interesting and I’m looking forward to it. FOSSASIA is an event I’ve been going to regularly since it was held in varying places (Vietnam, Cambodia, before finally settling down in Singapore) so this is an always exciting time.

Would happily meet you to talk shop, feel free to drop me an email: colin[at]mariadb.com.
