A gentle refresher on essential concepts and operations for data sciencePhoto by Vashishtha Jogi on UnsplashIntroductionRegardless of whether you’re fitting a simple regression model or a convolutional neural net, linear algebra plays a significant role in making those computations efficient. While most are likely familiar with its use in geometry — where it’s used to define objects such as lines, and planes, along with their transformations (like rotations and translations) — linear algebra is foundational across the…

Cleaning text is an important part of NLP pre-processingFree for Use Photo from PexelsIn the field of Natural Language Processing (NLP), pre-processing is an important stage where things like text cleaning, stemming, lemmatization, and Part of Speech (POS) Tagging take place. Among these various facets of NLP pre-processing, I will be covering a comprehensive list of text cleaning methods we can apply. Text cleaning here refers to the process of removing or transforming certain parts of the text so that the text becomes…

Black holes have been a big problem in physics. For decades, scientists have been mystified about what happens to stuff that falls into a black hole.  The quandary is called the black hole information paradox, and it has stopped physics in its tracks. But in recent years, scientists have made a breakthrough that may finally solve the puzzle and begin to show how black holes really work. To understand the paradox, we have to go back to Stephen Hawking’s big idea—all the way back to 1974. Hawking…

Many capabilities waiting to be discoveredPhoto by Pete Wright on UnsplashIn an earlier article I provided a quick introduction to PySpark window functions. The aim of this earlier article was to illustrate the benefits of using window functions compared to convoluted workarounds that would be typically used by data analysts who are less familiar with window functions. The aim of this article is to get a bit deeper and illustrate the various possibilities offered by PySpark window functions. Once more, we use a synthetic…
