The End To End Data Science With R is a new book by Rene Essomba. The book, as the name implies, focuses on the core data science applications using R ❤️. This book covers the following topics:
✅ Exploratory data analysis
✅ Data visualization
✅ Supervised learning
✅ Unsupervised learning
✅ Time series
✅ Natural language processing
✅ Image classification
They should be related to a #language#technology task, able to be automatically evaluated, with training and test #data able to be distributed to participants at low- or no-cost, and should be fun!
An #NGO in #Japan has been dealing with weeks of criticism & turmoil for having a foreign logo in a presentation they submitted to the government.
The reason? Essentially, copying & pasting of copyrighted images & not realizing they were watermarked. It could have been avoided w/ some basic #data and #security practices.
The group diligently observes the collective dissent voiced by numerous Meta employees, encompassing #Facebook, #Instagram, WhatsApp, #Messenger, and #Threads, regarding the Meta #company's complicity in the #genocidal war against the #Gaza Strip, its endorsement of the Israeli occupation, and its fueling of the "Lavender" #artificialintelligence system used by the Israeli military to kill #Palestinian individuals within the Gaza enclave.
As an #engineer, if I had any other #data series that was pretty smooth for several years and then started getting very spiky month to month, I'd look for some underlying malfunction.
Data Wrangler is a new Microsoft VScode extension for data exploratory analysis. It supports Python 🐍 and Pandas 🐼 DataFrame objects and is integrated into VScode Jupyter Notebooks. Here are some of the functionalities of Data Wrangler:
✅ Data review
✅ Column filtering
✅ Summary statistics
✅ Data cleaning and transformation
✅ Hadeling missing values
✅ Creating new fields
So I'm probably going to be nerd sniped into developing a Jupyter notebook to examine the question of how well are mid income families 2 adults and 2 kids doing relative to how well their parents were doing 30 years earlier. I'm going to use a dirichlet prior over the weights on a 5 item CPI based expense index. The missing part is paired nominal earnings of people and their parents... Anyone know a dataset #statistics#data#economics@economics@a.gup.pe
After setting up app tracking protection on my phone a couple of days ago, I can see thousands of blocked tracking attempts across so many apps, including ones that aren't in use.
I don't use Facebook or Google, but they seem to insert themselves into everything to get their sticky mitts on #data.
New from me: Menstruation-tracking apps leak users' #data to advertisers & law enforcement, especially post-Roe v. Wade in the US. To address these apps, I recommend data decommodification, which requires data be collected only to provide the service (ie., period tracking) but not be repurposed toward other activities (like advertising). #surveillance
Info on historical collectors & other collection agents affiliated with the Museum für Naturkunde Berlin was transferred from local wikis to @wikidata to help #accessibility & #reusability of #data, for example, as a resource for transdisciplinary #provenance#research.
