The Lightning Talk

Your Goal

Present a tool or technology briefly to other Data Scientists. Choose a tool that you are familiar with. It could be a mathematical concept, a programming language or library, a web tool or even one of your own projects.

The value of the lightning talk is its brevity. Your project is to summarize the essence of the tool: What is it good for, how does it look like, what pros and cons are there. If you want to show an example, choose one.
