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-3: Data Processing and Exploration
In the third session, the essential steps of data analysis will be discussed in further details including a detailed introduction to data wrangling. Further, some explorative data analysis techniques (basic statistical approaches, descriptive statistics etc…) will be discussed. Further, some basic machine learning concepts for advanced data analysis and associated libraries such as sci-kit learn will be discussed. This session will conclude with some hands-on analysis for some simple and practical applications in real-life.
