DataNights

About Us

The DataNights program is an educational program designed for members of the Data Science community In Israel. This program runs as part of a collaboration between the DataHack NGO - an amuta promoting data science and machine learning in Israel - and the Baot community. Each cohort of the program focuses on a specific topic in data science and is made up of about 4 to 8 teaching sessions. Each one of these sessions includes a theoretical lecture and practical work in groups.

The program began as a part of a collaboration between the "Baot" community, aimed at increasing the presence of women in the high-tech industry and to create a work environment in which they can share knowledge and practice in groups, and DataHack. Today there are also programs for men and women and the goal has expanded to share knowledge in the Israeli data science community in general, in addition to the original goal of promoting women in the industry. In this manner the programs are divided into 30% of mixed programs and roughly 70% programs for women only.

Our Programs

Over the years we have ran quite a few programs focusing on various topics. Here are a few of them.

XAI

Dive into SHAP and LIME, unsupervised feature importance approaches and with methods suitable for DL in this exquisite program.

Time Series

From classic time series modelling to the newest neural approaches, this program couldn't come at a better time!

NLP

Delve into natural language processing, from language structure and word2vec to sequence models and the BERT family!

Speech Recognition

Get familiar with automatic speech recognition, digital signal processing and state-of-the-art deep learning models to take these challenges on!

Graphs

Get a crash course in graph theory, classical graph-based algorithms and state-of-the-art graph neural networks!

DS Management

A program for serving or aspiring DS team leads, with a slew of experienced managers sharing their experience.

DS in the Real World

A crash course in practical DS skills, from data cleaning and feature engineering to productization and hard-learned life lessons from veterans.

Reinforcement Learning

Learn both core concepts in reinforcement learning and state-of-the-art solutions in a program to reinforce your knowledge.

Computer Vision

NNs for transfer learning, advances in GANs, self-supervision and attention in vision are just some of the topics in this visionary program.

I thought bringing the spirit of communal learning to the Israeli Data Science community, and joining it with a strong agenda of women empowerment, in tech and generally, could have a great impact.

Gal Hever Founder & Head of project, DataNights

It is always a pleasure running a DataNights cohort. I get to see people really learning together, and of course learn a lot myself.

Achinoam Soroker Core Team Member, DataNights

This is definitely one of the best teams I have had the pleasure to work with, and getting to impact the professional development of so many data scientists is exciting!

Noga Gshur Core Team Member, DataNights

DataNights is perhaps the DataHack project I am most proud of. It is a privilege to have such a team work under our NGO.
