ScaDS.AI-Tutorial: Jupyter, NumPy and Pandas

ScaDS.AI-Tutorial: Jupyter, NumPy and Pandas

–
30. Mai 2023

A large part of the challenges that scientists from different domains work on require some kind of data processing. The computer programs used for this are often complex and rigid in their use. The Python programming language with its packages Jupyter, NumPy and Pandas offer an alternative for flexible and thus application-specific processing of data, with relatively little effort compared to the results. For people who only program occasionally, Python is a good choice because the code is easy to read, and the internet is full of examples. Once respective Notebooks (Python applications) have been created, they can easily be adapted to new data.

The focus of the Excel vs Pandas training will be on teaching basic skills in using Python and the Pandas package on a continuous business data example, in comparison to the equivalent usage of Excel.

Course Details

Title: Excel vs Pandas
Speakers: Dr. Thomas Burghardt
Next Session: 30.05.2023, 1 p.m. - 4 p.m.
Target Group: Anyone regularly working with Excel for data and an interest in learning about alternative analysis tools from the Python ecosystem.
Number of participants: 15
Language: German
Format: Tutorial, hybrid
Registration: Will be opened soon.

Registration is required. Participation is free of charge.

Agenda

  • Introduction to Data Analysis (10%)
  • Basic language elements of the Pandas package (Dictionary, Series, Dataframe, etc.) with Jupyter Notebook (Python tool for data processing), (30%).
  • Data example Excel: selected research methods with Excel (descriptive statistics, matrix formula, pivot table) on the sales data of an example web store (10%)
  • Data example Pandas: Equivalent data investigation shown with Excel now under usage with Python, Pandas and Jupyter Notebook (30%)
  • Outlook on Pandas and selected methods for advanced users (10%)
  • Summary and discussion (10%)

Handouts

The following documents (slides, sample applications) will be provided to the participants:

  • PDF of the slides
  • CSV file with business data used for the analysis
  • Jupyter Notebooks with tasks and solutions

Prerequisites

  • Basic knowledge of Python in version 3.x recommended but not mandatory

Learning Outcomes

After the training, participants will not only know the theoretical and practical language concepts of Python and Pandas, but they will also be able to compare them with equivalent functions in Excel.

Target groups for our events

With our interdisciplinar events, we reach out to a broad national and international audience. Therefore, we engage with scientists, politicians or companies and with society itself. We want to share our knowledge regarding AI, Big Data and Data Science to eliminate prejudices, worries or fears regarding this important, but often just not yet graspable technology. Our main focus areas are Education, Transfer and Research. Furthermore, our Living Lab organizes a variety of interesting events for the public. ScaDS.AI Dresden/Leipzig also regularly participates in external events as well as international conferences and fairs.

Events at ScaDS.AI
an overview

  • Summer Schools: Each year a broad audience of internationally renowned speakers and interested participants takes part in our Summer School to discuss current AI and Big Data topics.
  • Living Lab Lecture Series: Each month our researchers discuss interesting topis surrounding AI, Big Data, Data Science or Computer Science with you. Previous lectures are published on YouTube!
  • Pillars & Umbrellas: This event series is a cooperation with the Gender Equality Commissioner and Women’s Representative at TU Dresden and reflects on the core themes of gender equality, participatory justice, sustainability, and cultural diversity, such as the tension between AI and society in a variety of formats.

  • Hands-On Demonstrator Series: Each month, we showcase the accomplishments, discoveries, improvements and educational tools of our team to the public. The events consist of an introductory talk, a Q&A and a hands-on session.
  • Girls‘ Day: Once a year, we invite participants to gain insights into the everyday working life as a female scientist in our center. This national initiative inspires girls and women to make stereotype free career choices.
  • tryING: Each year, TU Dresden invites high school graduates for trial studies in engineering and STEM. We participate to awaken their interest for work in the field of Artificial Intelligence and Big Data.
  • Hackathons: At our interdisciplinary Hackathons, students, researchers and all interested people are welcome work together in teams to find solutions for unique problems in the fields of AI and Big Data.

  • Data Week: This one-week event, which we help to organize, is dedicated to digitization and its‘ application in various aspects of life. Therefore we talk about AI and Data from a scientific, politic and also social perspective. Various target groups are invited to discuss and engage with us in Leipzig.
  • Big Data in Business (BDIB): This one day workshop gives users of AI and Big Data in business a platform to discuss their practical insights, ideas and challenges. With BDIB we aim to improve the exchange between research, stakeholders and application partners in the AI and Big Data industry.
  • ai.Lounge: Each month we welcome representatives of science and business to discuss application areas of AI in a relaxed atmosphere. Our ai.Lounge offers interesting talks and networking opportunities as well as a drink to end the evening with.
