The Python ecosystem for data science - Landscape Overview
Submitted Apr 27, 2017
Section:
Full talk for data engineering track
Technical level:
Beginner
In their day-to-day jobs, data science teams and data scientists face challenges in many overlapping yet distinct areas such as Reporting, Data Processing & Storage, Scientific Computing, ML Modelling, Application Development. To succeed, Data science teams, especially small ones, need a deep appreciation of these dependencies on their success.
Python ecosystem for data science has a number of tools and libraries for various aspects of data science, including Machine Learning, Cluster Computing, Scientific Computing, etc.
The idea of this talk is to understand what the Python data science ecosystem offers (so that you don’t reinvent it), what are some common gaps (so that you don’t go blue looking for answers).
In this talk, we describe how different tools/libraries fit in the machine learning model development and deployment workflow . This talk is about how these different tools work (and don’t work) together with each other. It is intended as a landscape survey of the python data science ecosystem, along with a mention of some common gaps that practitioners may notice as they put together a stack and/or an application for their company.
