Data Science Libraries to look out for in 2018

Hey Readers, As Python has gained a lot of traction in the recent years in Data Science industry. I wanted to outline some of its most useful libraries for data scientists and engineers, based on recent experience.

NumPy




When beginning to manage the scientific undertaking in Python, one unavoidably desires help to Python's SciPy Stack, which is an accumulation of programming particularly intended for scientific processing in Python (don't mistake for SciPy library, which is a piece of this stack, and the network around this stack). Along these lines we need to begin with a glance at it. Be that as it may, the stack is quite huge, there is in excess of twelve of libraries in it, and we need to put a point of convergence on the center bundles (especially the most fundamental ones). 

The most major bundle, around which the scientific computation stack is constructed, is NumPy (remains for Numerical Python). It gives a plenitude of valuable highlights for tasks on n-clusters and lattices in Python. The library gives vectorization of scientific activities on the NumPy exhibit compose, which enhances execution and in like manner accelerates the execution.

SciPy

SciPy is a library of programming for building and science. Again you have to comprehend the contrast between SciPy Stack and SciPy Library. SciPy contains modules for direct polynomial math, enhancement, coordination, and measurements. The fundamental usefulness of SciPy library is based upon NumPy, and its clusters in this way make generous utilization of NumPy. It gives effective numerical schedules as numerical reconciliation, improvement, and numerous others by means of its particular submodules. The capacities in all submodules of SciPy are all around recorded — another coin in its pot.

Pandas


Pandas is a Python package designed to do work with “labeled” and “relational” data simple and intuitive. It is a perfect tool for data wrangling. It designed for quick and easy data manipulation, aggregation, and visualization.

Matplotlib

Another SciPy Stack core package and another Python Library that is tailored for the generation of simple and powerful visualizations with ease is Matplotlib. It is a top-notch piece of software which is making Python (with some help of NumPy, SciPy, and Pandas) a cognizant competitor to such scientific tools as MatLab or Mathematica.
However, the library is pretty low-level, meaning that you will need to write more code to reach the advanced levels of visualizations and you will generally put more effort, than if using more high-level tools, but the overall effort is worth a shot.
With a bit of effort you can make just about any visualizations:
  • Line plots
  • Scatter plots
  • Bar charts and Histograms
  • Pie charts
  • Stem plots
  • Contour plots
  • Quiver plots
  • Spectrograms

There are also facilities for creating labels, grids, legends, and many other formatting entities with Matplotlib. Basically, everything is customizable.
The library is supported by different platforms and makes use of different GUI kits for the depiction of resulting visualizations. Varying IDEs (like IPython) support functionality of Matplotlib.

Seaborn


Seaborn is mostly focused on the visualization of statistical models; such visualizations include heat maps, those that summarize the data but still depict the overall distributions. Seaborn is based on Matplotlib and highly dependent on that.

Kaggle Dataset Analysis : Is your Avocado organic or not?

Hey readers! Today, allow me to present you yet another dataset analysis of a rather gluttony topic, namely Avocado price analysis. This Data set  represents the historical data on avocado prices and sales volume in multiple US markets. Our prime objectives will be to visualize the dataset, pre-process it and ultimately test multiple sklearn classifiers to checkout which one gives us the best confidence and accuracy for our Avocado's Organic assurance! Note : I'd like to extend the kernel contribution to Shivam Negi . All this code belongs to him. Data Visualization This script must procure the following jointplot  While a similar joint plot can be drawn for conluding the linearly exponent relations between extra large bags and the small ones. Pre Processing The following script has been used for pre processing the input data. Model Definition and Comparisons We will be looking mostly at three different models, namely ran

Your help in Fashion : 7 layer CNN at your service (~92% accurate)

Hey Readers! Welcome to yet another post where I play with a self designed neural network. This CNN would be tackling a variant of classical MNIST known as Fashion MNIST dataset  . Before we start exploring what is the approach for this dataset, let's first checkout what this dataset really is. Fashion-MNIST is a dataset of Zalando's article images—consisting of a training set of 60,000 examples and a test set of 10,000 examples. Each example is a 28x28 grayscale image, associated with a label from 10 classes. Zalando intends Fashion-MNIST to serve as a direct drop-in replacement for the original MNIST dataset for benchmarking machine learning algorithms. It shares the same image size and structure of training and testing splits. The original MNIST dataset contains a lot of handwritten digits. Members of the AI/ML/Data Science community love this dataset and use it as a benchmark to validate their algorithms. In fact, MNIST is often the first dataset researchers try. &q

IOT Breakthrough : TensorFlow 1.9 Officially Supports the Raspberry Pi

Hey Readers! Good news for all the "cheap fair power" computer fans, as a result of a major collaboration effort between TensorFlow and Raspberry Pi foundation, one can now install tensorflow precompiled binaries using Python's pip package system !  When TensorFlow was first launched in 2015, they wanted it to be an “ open source machine learning framework for everyone ”. To do that, they needed to run on as many of the platforms that people are using as possible. They have long supported Linux, MacOS, Windows, iOS, and Android, but despite the heroic efforts of many contributors, running TensorFlow on a Raspberry Pi has involved a lot of work. If one is using Rasbian9 they can simply use these 2 commands to install tensorflow on their machine! According to an excerpt from TensorFlow's medium article page :  " We’re excited about this because the Raspberry Pi is used by many innovative developers, and is also widely used in education to
