Python Pune Group, a community of passionate Python Programmers predominantly from Pune, is an active group that hosts meetups, workshops regularly in the city. The objective of this group is to create a collaboration platform for learning and sharing of knowledge on Python.

Recently, they organized a technical workshop on 28th May at Amazatic Solutions, Pimple Saudagar, Pune, on Data Analysis using Python pandas as part of Data Science series in their May Monthly Meetup.

In a typical Data Science project, 60%-70% of total time is consumed in extracting, cleaning, preparing and analyzing the data before the actual model building and validation phase begins. pandas is an open source library providing high-performance, easy-to-use data structures and data analysis tools for the Python programming language.

Chandan Kumar, Software Engineer at Red Hat along with equally passionate Pythonistas from Amazatic Solutions had organized the event.

Sudarshan Gadhave, Data Engineer and Data Science Enthusiast working with NEC Corporation of America (NEC Japan), was the Subject Matter Expert for this workshop.

He covered following topics using Case Studies

• Numpy basics
• pandas Data Structures and basics
• Data Loading
• Data Wrangling (Clean, Transform, Merge)
• Data Aggregation and grouping operations
• Exploratory Data Analysis and Descriptive Statistics
• Plotting and Visualization

The participants of the workshop were highly appreciative of the information shared by Sudarshan.

Demystifying thoughts to predict behavior

Much of what we don't understand about being human is simply in our heads. From those clusters of cells in our head arises the elusive, but powerful, mind. Despite our best attempts to "know ourselves," the truth is that we often know surprisingly little about our own minds, and even less about the way others think. Meet Psychologist Dr. Nitesh Kumar Jha, Clinical Research Officer at INCLEN (The International Clinical Epidemiology Network) Trust International, New Delhi, who has long sought insights into the complex mental processes that dictate human actions, and has made significant strides in lifting that veil of mystery.
