The scope of Compute! Paris is a bit less centered around Python, but we still expect many Python related presentations given the popularity of the language.
Note that we will neither organize a JupyterCon nor PyData conferences in Paris in 2026, so join us at Compute! Paris.
The team of JupyterCon 2023, PyData Paris 2024 & 2025 organizes a new conference named Compute! Paris 2026 on open source computation and data. The event will take place on November 25–26, 2026 at Sorbonne Université in Paris.
CfP deadline: May 24, 2026: compute.events/paris2026/cf...
Here is the recording of the webinar I gave last week on GPU support in @scikit-learn.org and comparison of a scikit-learn pipeline vs the TabICLv2 foundational model on a non-linear heteroscedastic quantile regression task.

We will contrast pros and cons of both approaches.
Spoiler alert:
Manual pipelines are more scalable (faster to train and predict) on larger datasets but require more work (e.g. hparam tuning) while TabICL works better on smaller datasets and yields good predictive performance of the box.
Tomorrow I will give an online demo of the use of the Python array API to develop a non-linear regression pipeline with GPU acceleration and uncertainty quantification.
We will also introduce TabICLv2 and demo it on the same predictive tasks.

Thanks to Dea María Léon for the PR and to the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative for the support.

The next scikit-learn release will allow inspecting the type and values of attributes of fitted estimators in Jupyter notebooks & example code rendered as HTML in sphinx-gallery powered project websites.

Super hyped that it's finally out!
It's perfect now. Thanksn
Thanks for sharing the blog post. However it's a bit hard to read the text on a mobile device and one has to zoom and pan around to read it. It would be nice to adopt a reflowing layout that adapts to small screen sizes instead.
A new version of scikit-learn has been released 🥳 check out the highlights: scikit-learn.org/stable/auto_...
Thanks everyone who contributed to this release!
Let me know what you think of the experimental GPU support
JupyterLab 4.5 and Jupyter Notebook 7.5 are here! 🎉
Highlights 🎁
- Enhanced notebook scrolling behavior
- Native audio and video support
- New Terminal search
- Debugger, Notebook and File Browser improvements
Check out the blog post to learn more!

Thanks for sharing. I would be very curious to see if LeJEPA can successfully pretrain good encoders for other input modalities with different kinds of spatial structures and signal smoothness assumptions (audio, time series, signal from robotic sensors, natural language...).
LeJEPA: a novel pretraining paradigm free of the (many) heuristics we relied on (stop-grad, teacher, ...)
- 60+ arch., up to 2B params
- 10+ datasets
- in-domain training (>DINOv3)
- corr(train loss, test perf)=95%
The Python Software Foundation was recommended for a $1.5M grant from the National Science Foundation. The terms of the award said PSF could not work on DEI, whether or not the grant funding was used for it.
PSF therefore declined the funding.
Science suffers, but commitment to core values remains
I will speak about probabilistic regressions, @skrub-data.bsky.social and skore contributors will also present their libraries. Come join us!
We set up some dedicated automated tests and discovered a bunch of thread-safety bugs, but they are now tracked by dedicated issues, and we have plans to fix them all, hopefully in time for 1.8.
scikit-learn 1.8 will be the first scikit-learn release with native extensions that are officially marked as free-threading compatible.

We’re happy to announce our Social Event, taking place on Tuesday 30th September at 6pm at the Cité des sciences. A perfect opportunity to unwind and connect with fellow attendees after a day of interesting talks!

Looking forward to attending PyData Paris 2025! I will give a talk about probabilistic predictions for regression problems (I need to start working on my slides ;)
👋 JupyterLab and Jupyter Notebook users:
What's one thing you'd love to see improved in JupyterLab, Jupyter Notebook, or JupyterLite?
The team is prepping the upcoming 4.5/7.5 releases and wants to tackle some usability issues.
Drop your feedback below, this will help prioritize what gets fixed!👇
However, the Elkan 2001 post-hoc prevalence correction can be used for any (well-specified) probabilistic classifier, including gradient boosting classifiers, assuming the training set is a uniform sample of the population conditionally on the class.
Interestingly, for logistic regression, this is equivalent to shifting the intercept by the difference of the logits of the prevalence of the positive class in the population and in the training set distributions, respectively.
Equivalently, we can append a monotonic post-hoc transformation to a naively trained classifier to get a prevalence-corrected classifier as a result as show in Theorem 2 of cseweb.ucsd.edu/~elkan/resca...
In this case, we can use weight-based training to correct the model's probabilistic predictions to stay well calibrated with respect to the target deployment setting.
This problem typically happens when the class of interest (positive class) is so rare (medical screening, predictive maintenance, fraud detection...) that collecting training features for the negative cases in the correct proportion would be too costly (or even illegal/unethical).
