Demands of data science Why do most data scientists love Python? Learn more about how so many well-developed Python packages can help you accomplish your crucial data science tasks. According to job sites such as Indeed, Glassdoor, Naukri, LinkedIn, and Dice demands data scientists and continues to grow, year over year, as businesses across the industries increasingly depend on data-driven insights. There are, in fact, many different learning paths to this hottest profession, and choosing the right one depends on where you are in your career. Besides mathematical and statistical skills, programming expertise is also one of the must-have skills an aspiring data scientist needs to acquire. Let’s dig deeper to unearth the most popular programming languages in the data science community! Top 3 programming languages most used by data scientists As revealed by the findings of a survey conducted by Kaggle, Python is the most used programming language followed by SQL and R. O...

Five Cool Python Libraries for Data Science

Image
Check out these 5 cool Python libraries that the author has come across during an NLP project, and which have made their life easier. Python is a best friend for the majority of the Data Scientists. Libraries make their life simpler. I have come across five cool Python libraries while working on my NLP project. This helped me a lot and I would like to share the same in this article. 1. Numerizer Amazing library to convert text numerics into int and float. Useful library for NLP projects. For more details, please check PyPI and this Github repo . Installation !pip install numerizer Example #importing numerize library from numerizer import numerize#examplesprint(numerize(‘Eight fifty million’)) print(numerize(‘one two three’)) print(numerize(‘Fifteen hundred’)) print(numerize(‘Three hundred and Forty five’)) print(numerize(‘Six and one quarter’)) print(numerize(‘Jack is having fifty million’)) print(numerize(‘Three hundred billion’)) Output 2.

Explanation on How not to use Machine Learning for time series forecasting: The sequel

Image
Developing machine learning predictive models from time-series data is an important skill in Data Science. While the time element in the data provides valuable information for your model, it can also lead you down a path that could fool you into something that isn’t real. Follow this example to learn how to spot trouble in time series data before it’s too late. Time series forecasting is an important area of machine learning. It is important because there are so many prediction problems that involve a time component. However, while the time component adds additional information, it also makes time series problems more difficult to handle compared to many other prediction tasks. Time series data, as the name indicates, differ from other types of data in the sense that the temporal aspect is important. On a positive note, this gives us additional information that can be used when building our machine learning model — that not only the input features contain useful information, but ...

What Is Data Science, and What Does a Data Scientist Do?

Introduction What profession did Harvard call the Sexiest Job of the 21st Century ? That’s right… the data scientist . Ah yes, the ever-mysterious data scientist. So what exactly is the data scientist’s secret sauce, and what does this “sexy” person do at work every day? This article is intended to help define the data scientist role, including typical skills, qualifications, education, experience, and responsibilities. This definition is somewhat loose since there isn’t a standardized definition of the data scientist role, and given that the ideal experience and skill set are relatively rare to find in one individual. This definition can be further confused by the fact that there are other roles sometimes thought of as the same, but are often quite different. Some of these include data analyst , data engineer , and so on. More on that later. A data scientist’s level of experience and knowledge in each often varies along a scale ranging from beginner, to proficient , and to...
