SymfonyCon Cluj 2017

First of all, great talk! I had seen a presentation about a neo4j bundle before, but never of neo4j itself. She has shown a pretty good overview of the possibilities, how the queries work and how this is visualised.

Sadly there were hardware issues, but she can't be blamed. Those issues seen to have been plaguing the majority of talks I went to.

The reason of a -1 is because it was sometimes hard to properly hear what she was saying. This was not because she wasn't pronouncing properly, but it sounded like she was nervous. This could be related to the sound issues though, so I'm not sure.

I enjoyed the small random jokes and despite the issues, she gave a great presentation. 4/5 would watch again.

Presentation was quite interesting, but i were in the last row and haven't see slides and examples well, and presentation heavily rely on those examples. Please use bigger fonts.

Great practical examples. He knew his audience and his copy on the deck was perfect. Good job.

It's the keynote. Hard to screw this one up. Overall great. On point.

In my opinion this seemed like a code review. I would recommend showing less code and have some text to describe what you want to get to your audience.

We could of expanded the collection part as that is the tough part.

Overall good but needs work

Thanks for your feedback.

@Jan, I agree regarding the advanced track comment, but the organizers are planing the talks. This talks is more on intermediate level. Regarding the length, I disagree, we were just on time with the questions. I don't like to take time of the next talk, but do like a good QA, so for a 40min slot the 30min talk with 10min question time fits well.

Know your audience when giving a talk.

This was an excellent talk and might just be the best talk of the conference. (Hey sensiolabs, maybe introduce a prize for that ?). It not only explains the basic math behind machine learning, but also showed live code examples. Additionally, all questions (during the session and after) were answered in a precise and knowledgable manner. Kudos !

This talk contained to little information to be actually placed in the advanced track. Most of the problems mentioned were foreseeable and the more interesting part (how they were actually solved) was barely mentioned.

Also, answering every question with "it depends" shows either a lack of confidence or knowledge. I'm not saying there is a definitive answer for everything, but when trying to be an export you should at least be able to point people in a certain direction.

Another thing that bothers me is that this talk was finished ~10mins too early. Either plan your talk better or have some more things to say when there are no more questions. I always feel it's kind of cheap, when people effectively deliver 25-30min of talk in a 40min slot. Especially when attendees pay for the conference.

Really like the presentation. Carlos obviously know the topic well. He showed really nice examples of code. One notice: Carlos you do not have to speak so fast, please take breath between sentences ;)
