6:30pm-8:20 pm Talks

1st Speaker: Paul Laughlin, Founder of Laughlin Consultancy Ltd
Talk: The People Skills that Analysts need to succeed”:

This talk will cover four main points:
-The need for more action on analysis
-Why technical skills are not sufficient
-The 9 step model for effective Analysis
-Walking through the People Skills you need to master

2nd Speaker: Jacqui Taylor, CEO and Founder of FlyingBinary Ltd
Talk: Data Visualisation, is it an art of a science?

Dr Jacqui Taylor the co-founder of the datajournalism industry and CEO of FlyingBinary will share the data journalism work they do in FlyingBinary to communicate with an audience of 34 million people across the globe. She will explain some of the top tips from FlyingBinary's hugely popular ORS training courses attended by hundreds of ORS professionals.

3rd Speaker: Gerard Crispie , UK & Ireland Lead, Data Science Guild at Cognizant
Talk: Automatic Design of Gas & Oil Rig Under-carriage – a Case Study of Innovation to Production

The project started with figuring out the right analytical approach and then progressed to implementation in an high performance cloud computing environment alongside enabling the key uses to control the optimisation as part of their daily job. The key approach of applying Genetic algorithms to a design of a Jacket is described in the paper http://bit.ly/ANJacketDesign. You might enjoy watching https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0QkJGRLsD3g as a preparation. The focus of the talk will be on the learnings on how to run an innovation Data Science project and what complexity to expect.

Making MongoDB remotely available.

Imagen
Summary Here I show how to make your MongoDB accessible from a different server / computer/ instance, without using ssh. Motivation I have been using MongoDB to store and query some databases. This databases has been shared with other people and in most of the cases I have managed to use it as localhost or using ssh. However when using Docker it is easy to run into problems when using ssh. It is common to access other databases such as MySQL. For example in to use MySQL in Python you could have something like this: import pymysql.cursors # Connect to the database connection = pymysql.connect( host = ' localhost ' , user = ' user ' , password = ' passwd ' , db = ' db ' , charset = ' utf8mb4 ' , cursorclass = pymysql.cursors.DictCursor) In the same line you could query your MongoDB using

Reflecting about SIR models and some examples

Reflecting about SIR models  and some examples Feel free to send me you thoughts either in comments or here . This only reflect my personal opinion, none of my employees at any time. Summary SIR model trendy, but they also have some caveats Looks like in Europe and the States the peak could be reach between May and July, with different amount of population affected by country given different policies implemented (so the model need time to incorporate that effect). Potential limitations: Summer could reduce prevalence. Data limitations, brief discussion below. But we are learning about Covid19, we did not have enough tests and so on. Intro After massive disruption for Covid19 everyone is concerned about what is going on and how this could evolve in the future. Massive disruption has occurred and all of us are noticing the consequences (such as compulsory stay at home measures, terrible amounts of deaths and so on). All of us want to help a bit and trying to

Cloudera with Openstack a Wordcount Example  Introduction 2 Set up the container 2 Run Mapreduce wordcount 3 Create Wordcount_mapper.py 3 Understanding the algorithm: 3 Create code: 3 Create Wordcount_reducer.py 4 Understanding the algorithm: 4 Create code: 5 Make those files executables 7 Create some data 7 Count the words. Run MapReduce 7 To check the results: 8 Changing Streaming options: 9 To see the results: 9 Try to notice the differences between the output when the reducers are run in Step 9, versus the output when there are no reducers and only the mapper is run in this step. The point of the task is to be aware of what the intermediate results look like. A successful submission will have words and counts that are not accumulated (which the reducer performs). Hopefully, this will help you get a sense of how data and tasks are split up in the map/reduce framework, and we will build upon that in the next lesson. 10 11. Change t
