Python Basics: Directories, Arrays, Tuples and Structures

A Brief Introduction to Python

Learning about Data Variables

Learning about Tuples, Pythons Language Strucutre

About Python Dictionary

Operators in Python

Introduction to Arrays and Lists on Python

Requirements

  • No expereince required. The course is here to teach you the basics.

Description

The course is a beginner’s course that seeks to introduce the coding language of Python to users and teaches them how to use the program. This introduction is broken up into six parts with the hope that the learner furthers their knowledge on their own or through additional courses once complete.

The course begins by teaching the learner how to download and use Python for the first time and how the program works. The second part of the courses describes and illustrates what variables are in Python and how to create them on your own. The third part of the course seeks to educate learners on tuples, the data structures of Python and how they serve to organise your data efficiently and effectively. This organisation of your data is later built upon through the fourth part of the course, as it attempts to train learners in dictionaries and the differences between tuples and dictionaries. This understanding allows learners to understand the differences and apply them in the real world. The fifth part of the course educates learners in operators and conditional statements. Operators are the tools utilised to operate mathematical tasks and operations in Python making it a useful tool to know. Finally, the course ends of with the differences between an array and a list through a step-by-step learning exercise. This exercise, much like the previous lessons, serves to teach students in a construct manner that builds from one lesson to the next.

Who this course is for:

  • Beginner Python Developers
  • Students Learning Python at School
  • People wanting to Learn How to Uterlise Python

R and Python coding with Prython

Learn how to use Prython for coding both R and Python projects

Design complex data science projects in Prython

Requirements

  • Know some Python and/or R
  • Basic knowledge about data science and analytics

Description

In this course we will learn how to use Prython, which offers a different way of coding than existing R/Python IDEs. It allows us to drop our code into panels that we place and connect in a canvas. In a normal IDE your code will run linearly from start to end, making it really hard to create sub-experiments/tests, and also to organise your project clearly. In Prython each panel accepts multiple IN and OUT connections, effectively transforming it into a 2D Jupiter notebook. It also has a wide array of tools that complement this canvas functionality: such as displaying dataframes next to the panels that modified them, allowing you to freeze your outputs, attaching consoles, navigation markers, etc.

We assume that the student is already familiar with R or Python, and some familiarity with matplotlib, scikit-learn,or keras would be beneficial as well.

Who this course is for:

  • Python and R practitioners with a focus on data science
  • ML engineers
  • Statisticians, engineers, and economists designing statistical models

Course content

Data Science: Intro To Deep Learning With Python In 2021

Understand the intuition behind Artificial Neural Networks

Build artificial neural networks with Tensorflow

Classify images, data using deep learning

Apply Convolutional Neural Networks in practice

Requirements

  • Some prior coding experience with python is required.

Description

Neural networks are a family of machine learning algorithms that are generating a lot of excitement. They are a technique that is inspired by how the neurons in our brains function. They are based on a simple idea: given certain parameters, it is possible to combine them in order to predict a certain result. For example, if you know the number of pixels in an image, there are ways of knowing which number is written in the image. The data that enters passes through various “ layers” in which a series of adjusted learning rules are applied by a weighted function. After passing through the last layer, the results are compared with the “correct” results, and the parameters are adjusted.

Although the algorithms and the learning process in general are complex, one the network has learned, it can freeze the various weights and function in a memory or execution mode. Google uses these types of algorithms, for example, for image searches.

There is no single definition for the meaning of Deep Learning. In general, when we talk of Deep Learning, we are referring to a group of Machine Learning algorithms based on neural networks that, as we have seen, are characterized by cascade data processing. The entrance signal passes through the various stages, and in each one, they are subjected to a non-linear transformation. This helps to extract and transform the variable according to the determined parameters (weights or boundaries). There isn’t an established limit for the number of stages that a neural network must contain to be considered Deep Learning. However, it is thought that Deep Learning arose in the 80’s, using a model which had 5 or 6 layers. It was (and is) called the neocognitron and was created by the Japanese researcher Kunihiki Fukushima. Neural networks are very effective in identifying patterns.

An example worth highlighting of the application of Deep Learning is the project carried out by Google and the Universities of Stanford and Massachusetts. It aimed to improve the natural language processing techniques of a type of AI called Recurrent Neural Network Language Model (RNNLM). It’s used for automatic translations and creating subtitles, among other thing. Basically, it builds up phrases word by words, basing each word on the previous one and in this way, it can even write poems.
