Weekly Open Source News -1

Hello everyone!

Welcome to the first edition of Open Source Weekly where I bring you to the new and updated Github  repositories which we use now and then.

Pandas (Python)

The @pandas-dev/pandas have recently started a new contribution milestone for non organisation members named "Contributions Welcome", which happens to be described as Changes that would be nice to have in the next release. These issues are not blocking. They will be pushed to the next release if no one has time to fix them. 
And as for now, it is about 20% completed. So do look out for new issues here and there if you are interested in making some sexy Data Frame stuff.

Atom (JavaScript)

The @atom/atom are facing a really interesting issue right now, Namely : 

Atom does not quit on OS X #17672


Interesting, no? Apparently both shortcut and menu bar exit ain't working for this guy, so incase anyone is interested in helping out: they surely can.

The Link for the same is : Atom does not quit on OS X #17672

#MyFeaturedRepository

Spring-Boot is a Java Based Open Source Repository.

From there README.md : 
Spring Boot makes it easy to create Spring-powered, production-grade applications and services with absolute minimum fuss. It takes an opinionated view of the Spring platform so that new and existing users can quickly get to the bits they need.
You can use Spring Boot to create stand-alone Java applications that can be started using java -jar or more traditional WAR deployments. We also provide a command line tool that runs spring scripts.
Our primary goals are:
  • Provide a radically faster and widely accessible getting started experience for all Spring development
  • Be opinionated out of the box, but get out of the way quickly as requirements start to diverge from the defaults
  • Provide a range of non-functional features that are common to large classes of projects (e.g. embedded servers, security, metrics, health checks, externalized configuration)
  • Absolutely no code generation and no requirement for XML configuration
My Verdict : This sounds like a good repository to contribute to. In case any java enthusiast with fair HTML concepts wants to try their hands at open source development, this can be a good place.

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 ra...

Tackling MNIST Dataset : Deep Convolutional Neural Network 99.571% accurate

Hey there! My dear readers.  Today this kernel review is going to be about the famous MNIST data-set, one of the most famous introductory datasets which we encounter along side Iris dataset and the titanic survival challenge data sets.  Since it is a competition kernel, I have decided not to make it public. (yet) Also,  if you want to try your hands at the challenge itself, then you can find the challenge page here :  Note: This kernel has been largely focused on network modelling rather than Exploratory Data Analysis because it's simple, classic stuff. Still, I will try my best to explain that stuff here. Exploratory Data Analysis First indication of a great dataset is the face that it gives all the mentioned labels equal rows in it and this one doesn't disappoint. This data set maintains a fair 4000+ entries per label which actually is a great statistic for a good dataset. And the next thing one needs to know is how...

Datasets by Microsoft Research now available in the cloud : Microsoft announces open Datasets!

Hey Readers, today I bring forth an exciting news for you all aspiring data scientists and machine learners! Something new happened in Microsoft Research Blog :  The Microsoft Research Outreach team has worked extensively with the external research community to enable adoption of cloud-based research infrastructure over the past few years. Through this process, we experienced the ubiquity of Jim Gray’s fourth paradigm of discovery based on data-intensive science – that is, almost all research projects have a data component to them. This data deluge also demonstrated a clear need for curated and meaningful datasets in the research community, not only in computer science but also in interdisciplinary and domain sciences. Today we are excited to launch  Microsoft Research Open Data  – a new data repository in the cloud dedicated to facilitating collaboration across the global research community. Microsoft Research Open Data, in a single, convenient, cloud-hosted ...
