##Theme and format
The Fifth Elephant 2017 is a four-track conference on:
The Fifth Elephant is a conference for practitioners, by practitioners.
Talk submissions are now closed.
You must submit the following details along with your proposal, or within 10 days of submission:
##About the conference
This year is the sixth edition of The Fifth Elephant. The conference is a renowned gathering of data scientists, programmers, analysts, researchers, and technologists working in the areas of data mining, analytics, machine learning and deep learning from different domains.
We invite proposals for the following sessions, with a clear focus on the big picture and insights that participants can apply in their work:
##Selection Process
We will notify you if we move your proposal to the next round or reject it. A speaker is NOT confirmed for a slot unless we explicitly mention so in an email or over any other medium of communication.
Selected speakers must participate in one or two rounds of rehearsals before the conference. This is mandatory and helps you to prepare well for the conference.
There is only one speaker per session. Entry is free for selected speakers.
##Travel grants
Partial or full grants, covering travel and accomodation are made available to speakers delivering full sessions (40 minutes) and workshops. Grants are limited, and are given in the order of preference to students, women, persons of non-binary genders, and speakers from Asia and Africa.
##Commitment to Open Source
We believe in open source as the binding force of our community. If you are describing a codebase for developers to work with, we’d like for it to be available under a permissive open source licence. If your software is commercially licensed or available under a combination of commercial and restrictive open source licences (such as the various forms of the GPL), you should consider picking up a sponsorship. We recognise that there are valid reasons for commercial licensing, but ask that you support the conference in return for giving you an audience. Your session will be marked on the schedule as a “sponsored session”.

This talk describes the various machine learning algorithms used in the public SEG (Society of Exploration Geophysicist) challenge held in December 2016 to identify lithofacies based on well log measurements. Lithofacies are the different rock layers encountered during drilling, which are used to characterize the sub-surface. Correct classification of lithological facies helps in identifying target areas for hydrocarbon (oil and gas) extraction. The challenge concentrated on open-source tools, such as python and jupyter notebook, with collaborative code sharing via GitHub. The test data was provided by the SEG and the final submitted entry was one vs one multi class algorithm using Gradient boosting. The talk will explore the dataset, explain dataset conditioning, results on various algorithms used to train classifier, lessons learnt and future work.
The agenda will be as follows:-
Priyanka Raghavan is Team Lead on Prestack seismic Interpretation product at Schlumberger. She has worked with Schlumberger for the past 11 years in different products related to software used in seismic exploration. She started her career in Houston, followed by a stint in Germany before coming to Bangalore. She holds a Master degree in Software Engineering from Carnegie Mellon University. Her areas of interest are software architecture, design patterns and code optimization. In her free time you’ll see her honing her carnatic music skills.
