Python Programming For Data Science and Machine Learning

Python is a general-purpose, high-level, object-oriented, and easy to learn programming language. It was created by Guido van Rossum, who is known as the godfather of “Python”.
                         Python Programming

Python is a popular programming language because of its simplicity, ease of use, open-source licensing and accessibility — the foundation of its renowned community which provides great support and help in creating tons of packages, tutorials, and sample programs.
Python can be used to develop a wide variety of applications — ranging from Web, Desktop GUI based programs/applications to science and mathematics programs, and Machine learning and other big data computing systems.
Let’s explore the use of Python in Machine Learning, Data Science and Data Engineering.

Machine Learning

Machine learning is a relatively new and evolving system development paradigm that has quickly become a mandatory requirement for companies and programmers to understand and use. See our previous article on Machine Learning for the background. Due to the complex, scientific computing nature of machine learning applications, Python is considered the most suitable programming language. This is because of its extensive and mature collection of mathematics and statistics libraries, extensibility, ease of use and wide adoption within the scientific community. As a result, Python has become the recommended programming language for machine learning systems development.

Data Science

Data science combines cutting edge computer and storage technologies with data representation and transformation algorithms and scientific methodology to develop solutions for a variety of complex data analysis problems encompassing raw and structured data in any format. A Data Scientist possesses knowledge of solutions to various classes of data-oriented problems. And expertise in applying the necessary algorithms, statistics, and mathematic models, to create the required solutions. Python is recognized among the most effective and popular tools for solving data science-related problems.

Data Engineering

Data Engineers build the foundations for Data Science and Machine Learning systems and solutions. Data Engineers are technology experts who start with the requirements identified by the data scientist. These requirements drive the development of data platforms that leverage complex data extraction, loading, and transformation to deliver structured datasets that allow the Data Scientist to focus on solving the business problem. Again, Python is an essential tool in the Data Engineer’s Toolbox — one that is used every day to architect and operate the big data infrastructure that is leveraged by the data scientist.

Use cases for Python, Data Science and Machine Learning

Here are some example Data Science and Machine Learning applications that leverage Python.
  • Netflix uses data science too, to understand user viewing patterns and behavioral drivers. This, in turn, helps Netflix too, understand user likes/dislikes and predict and suggest relevant items to view.
  • Amazon, Walmart, and Target are heavily using data science, data mining and machine learning to understand the user's preferences and shopping behavior. This assists in predicting demands to drive inventory management and to suggest relevant products to online users or via email marketing.
  • Spotify uses data science and machine learning to make music recommendations to its users.
  • Spam programs are making use of data science and machine learning algorithm(s) to detect and prevent spam emails.  
This article provides an overview of Python and its application to Data Science and Machine Learning and why it is important.

Predictive Maintenance in Manufacturing: The BI Advantage

  In today's fast-paced manufacturing environment, even one minute of unplanned downtime can substantially affect the business's financials. Due to this, manufacturers have begun looking beyond reactive or scheduled maintenance. Now, the industry focuses more on a data-driven approach known as predictive maintenance. This isn’t just a technical upgrade ; it’s a strategic leap by Business Intelligence (BI).   BI systems can now help unlock the powerful insights of data for manufacturing companies with the help of real-time data. This blog will explore how BI turns predictive maintenance into a competitive superpower.   What Is Predictive Maintenance?   Predictive maintenance uses real-time data, historical trends, and analytics/software to predict expected equipment failures before they occur. It also uses real-time readings and performance measurements, which help manufacturers make decisions rather than engage in routine check-ups.   Predictive maintenanc...
