12 Challenges Machine Learning Big Data Visualization BI / ETL Scientific Computing CS / Programming DS • Get diverse data teams (languages, tools, data models, deliverables…) to collaborate effectively • Move Data Scientist (Stats / Analyst) to use Big Data infrastructure • Deploy predictive models into production applications • Share insights with decision makers
14 The Data Science team workflow • Implements a predictive modeling algorithm Algorithm (e.g. SVM) • Fits different models with different parameters to find the best one Algorithm (e.g. Logistic Regression) Algorithm (e.g. Neural Network) scripts to transform and select data + Show results to domain expert / decision maker • Build and deploy an application that uses the predictive model e.g depending on the prediction, show the user a different ad Integrate with existing deployment system
19 Anaconda Glossary PYTHON NumPy, SciPy, Pandas, Scikit-learn, Jupyter / IPython, Numba, Matplotlib, Spyder, Numexpr, Cython, Theano, Scikit-image, NLTK, NetworkX and 150+ packages conda PYTHON cond conda • Anaconda distribution: Python distribution that includes 150+ packages for data science (in the installer) • conda: Cross-platform and language agnostic package and environment manager • Miniconda: Minified version of Anaconda, with just Python and conda. • Anaconda Cloud: Cloud service to host and share public and private packages, environments and notebooks • conda environments: custom isolated sandboxes to easily reproduce and share data science projects Anaconda distribution Miniconda
23 The Jupyter Notebook is a web application that allows you to create and share documents that contain live code, equations, visualizations and explanatory text. Open source, interactive data science and scientific computing across over 40 programming languages. Jupyter
25 Continuum Analytics contributions to the Python ecosystem Bokeh Dask Datashader Blaze • Web interactive data visualizations (no JS) • Graphics pipeline system for creating meaningful representations of large amounts of data • Unified expression system to query heterogeneous data • Parallel computing framework
26 Bokeh Interactive visualization framework that targets modern web browsers for presentation • No JavaScript • Python, R, Scala and Lua bindings • Easy to embed in web applications • Server apps: data can be updated, and UI and selection events can be processed to trigger more visual updates. http://bokeh.pydata.org/en/latest/
29 Datashader graphics pipeline system for creating meaningful representations of large amounts of data • Provides automatic, nearly parameter-free visualization of datasets • Allows extensive customization of each step in the data-processing pipeline • Supports automatic downsampling and re- rendering with Bokeh and the Jupyter notebook • Works well with dask and numba to handle very large datasets in and out of core (with examples using billions of datapoints) https://github.com/bokeh/datashader NYC census data by race
