How Python Is Making an Impact on Big Data and Machine Learning

19/08/2019: Python is a programming language created by Guido van Rossum as a hobby project back in the late 1980s. Python has come a long way since it’s origins as a small hobby project and is now the fastest-growing programming language in the world. There are several reasons why Python is growing so rapidly. The language is considered very concise and flexible, which makes it one of the easier programming languages to learn. Python has also been widely adopted in Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML), two areas of computing have boomed in recent years. Why Python? Python uses...

Python or R ?

20/12/2018: Python or R in tomorrow’s world? Python and R are popular programming languages extensively used by data scientists today. But what about tomorrow – which one is going to be more useful for you in the future? The aim of this article is to help you answer that question. We’ll discuss the two languages, look at some of the differences between them, and analyse the trends in usage and popularity. The case for Python According to the 2018 IEEE Spectrum rankings, Python is the top programming language in 2018. It’s based on C, and is closely followed in the rankings by C++ (2nd), Java (3rd)...

NLP and Data Science – are they related?

10/12/2018: Natural Language Processing is right at the cutting-edge of Artificial Intelligence, and the handling of data is critical to its success. Computers, as you know, thrive on standardised instructions and structured data – and natural language, with all its nuances and subtleties, is anything but that. It has been developed by humans over thousands of years and involves a complex range of words, sayings and idioms. Data science plays a key role in transforming that unstructured data so that computers can process it. So yes, NLP and data science are absolutely related. Let’s explore NLP in...

Python skills help Data Scientists manipulate "Big Data"

19/10/2017: Nowadays, there is a significant business advantage in being able analyse, process and visualize "big data". While there is no agreed definition of "big data" it is generally accepted that big data refers to terabytes or larger data sets. The tools, techniques and systems for working with "big data" is known as data science. Big problem is the lack of professionals who can work effectively with data on this scale. Fortunately, the Python programming language is packed with libraries designed specifically for data science applications. To this end, JBI was enagaged to provide Python training...
