Feed: Cognitive Class Author: James Reeve Every data scientist I know spends a lot of time handling data that originates in CSV files. You can quickly end up with a mess of CSV files located in your Documents, Downloads, Desktop, and other random folders on your hard drive. I greatly simplified my workflow the moment I started organizing all my CSV files in my Cloud account. Now I always know where my files are and I can read them directly from the Cloud using JupyterLab (the new Jupyter UI) or my Python scripts. This article will teach you how to ... Read More

Feed: R-bloggers. Author: Chuck Powell. Presenting data results in the most informative and compelling manner is part of the role of the data scientist. It's all well and good to master the arcana of some algorithm, to manipulate and master the numbers and bend them to your will to produce a “solution” that is both accurate and useful. But, those activities are typically in pursuit of informing some decision or at least providing information that serves a purpose. So taking those results and making them compelling and understandable by your audience is part of your job! This article will focus ... Read More

Feed: Featured Blog Posts - Data Science Central. Author: Vincent Granville. Interested question posted on Quora recently. Here is my take on this. Just put the next buzz word on your resume when you graduate, maybe AI engineer? I completed my PhD in computational statistics 25 years ago. It was in fact data science (image remote sensing), but under a different name. I changed my job title from statistician to data scientist many years ago, and I may dot it again if needed. There is more and more data to process, so the need will grow, but it will grow ... Read More

Even though the libraries for R from Python, or Python from R code execution existed since years and despite of a recent announcement of Ursa Labs foundation by Wes McKinney who is aiming to join forces with RStudio foundation, Hadley Wickham in particularly, (find more here) to improve data scientists workflow and unify libraries to be used not only in Python, but in any programming language used by data scientists, some data professionals are still very strict on the language to be used for ANN models limiting their dev. environment exclusively to Python. As a ... Read More
