With the technology at our disposal today, we are trusting computers to do more and more everyday things for us. While some may be skeptical, there isn’t anything as such wrong with this as the more data we generate, the more precise the algorithms powering these computers will become. However,
For those of us working with data, we are all too familiar with how difficult it can be to fully understand what we are presented with. No matter how complex, data can be difficult for us to digest and make sense of. Data visualization is an effective technique that can
In data science, the theory in practice is not always the same as reality. When working with data, it’s not uncommon to be presented with several complex problems. Fortunately, you are not alone and there are blogs, slack channels, and useful information to come to the rescue. Plenty of problems
As machine learning developers, we always need to deal with ETL processing (Extract, Transform, Load) to get data ready for our model. Airflow can help us build ETL pipelines, and visualize the results for each of the tasks in a centralized way. In this blog post, we look at some
The data never comes perfect. There is always missing information, different formats, or it is full of useless information for your analysis. The process of data cleaning consists of the correction and transformation of the values, standardizing all the formats, fixing encoding, removing unnecessary information, splitting columns and extracting relevant
We are currently experiencing the negative impacts of the novel Coronavirus. This virus has quickly changed our lives and has left many of us feeling confused and fearful of what’s to come. As engineers and data scientists – we want to help make sense of the overwhelming amount of data
Why should we care about Data Science? Nowadays more and more data is being generated by smartphones, social media, health, banks, stores, online services, governments, sensors, etc. Every piece of information is saved ‘just in case’. Thus, the available data cannot be processed by human’s brains, we need algorithms and
Despite being a global catastrophe, the outbreak should be an eye-opening experience to reshuffle our priorities.
Why we should choose representative samples with error in mind when we build data visualizations. A brief overview of uncertain bar charts and uncertain ranked lists.
The type of data samples that populate our visualizations can add uncertainty to our results. Some common data displays like bar and pie charts work better than others for making that uncertainty understandable. This article explores how to understand our data samples and create the most suitable graphs for visualizing what they represent.
In general, the goals of data science are to understand data and generate predictive models that help us make better decisions. For a more thorough overview of data visualization, see “Data visualization and The Truthful Art.”
How to be prepared for the change that will transform the business landscape forever.
Worldwide access to vast amounts of data has changed the business landscape. Competitive marketing depends on knowing how to manage, process, and analyze that data. This article describes the path organizations need to take from collecting data to maximizing its use.
Today’s organizations are undergoing a challenging transformation process around their technical systems. The static software platforms that might have stored and processed a business’ data are no longer sustainable in the current web environment. Enterprises need cutting-edge technology to collect big data in real-time, analyze that data, and then get the information they need to stay competitive in today’s marketplace.
