Hi all!
I’m Sergiusz based in London working with data-science in the financial services area. I’m one of the organisers behind the London Data Science workshop – a meetup that focuses on self-organised hands on learning and exploration. In the beginning of the summer we organised a workshop series following the previous version’s part 1 lectures for 7 weeks, with an really good turnout all the way to the end. @AndrewK , posted about the meetup here.
During taking part in the first part of the 2018 series I implemented a python package that helps you download, sanitise and organise data for the classification task in what was then the dog cat. I decided to classify ducks and geese and therefore the name of the package: duckgoose. I think it can be used in this version of the course, I intend to update it if not. I’ve posted about it previously, but wanted to bump it again as it can help people save a lot of time with the mundane set up tasks.
We were a bunch getting up early following the first lecture - great start and I look forward to the rest!
