Interfacing with qkdb

Description: In this talk, Kim will explain the different approaches to interface qkdb with other programming languages like Python and R. Kim will explain the ability of PyKX to execute and manipulate Python objects within a q session and demonstrate the added value of doing so. With this feature, users can build applications which embed machine learning/data science libraries within production q infrastructures and allow users to use plotting libraries to visualise the outcomes of their analysis.

Presenter: Jo Shinonome, Vice President, kdb+ analytics platform Cash Equities, CitiBank

It can be used not only as an independent local IDE for q but also as a remote IDE and includes key features such as the discovery server panel which will be demonstrated and discussed for configuring thousands of kdb+ processes.

3rd Presentation to start at 8.00pm
