ABSTRACT

Data Analytics Workshop

The internet has revolutionized the world leading to an age of connectivity. It has pushed the boundaries of machine intelligence by enabling sophisticated computing algorithms to be developed and imparting them the ability to efficiently harness large data aggregations. The ability to understand the data and analyzing it effectively through computer algorithms is increasingly becoming an essential skill irrespective of one’s profession. Data analytics has significantly altered social dynamics and world order. It is imperative that students and young professionals understand its importance and impact on the positive influences as well as the drawbacks. Further, with advances in data science, artificial intelligence, and machine learning, algorithmic programming has become a necessity for all engineers to tackle different social issues.  This workshop aims at introducing the participants into the field of advanced data analytics with python and building their expertise in the development of a variety of data management strategies and applications.

Workshop Session – II: Data Preprocessing and Visualization

Session 2 of the workshop series begins with a detailed introduction to Pandas, Matplotlib and Scipy. Matplotlib is a powerful visualization tool for initial data exploration and understanding. An important library for a  diverse range of data analysis techniques is Pandas that includes well-organized data structures, file handling capabilities and efficient data preprocessing/management functions. Some practice programs will be discussed covering visualization and basics of file handling.
