In fact, the number of publications in this space has been rising dramatically in recent years. Stanford’s annual Artificial Intelligence Index Report shows that the number of AI publications has increased from 162,444 in 2010…

An illustration of common applications with Python — Introduction Time and again, data scientists find themselves in a situation where they have to determine whether particular fields in their data conform to the required text format or whether a particular string is present or absent. In other situations, they may have to replace a particular string in their data…

A review of two popular strategies for agile development — Implementing an agile development system for organizing workflows typically means adopting one of two distinct frameworks: Scrum or Kanban. While each of these methods has its share of staunch supporters, it does not necessarily mean that one is superior to the other. Each method has valuable qualities that help teams…

Why diverse teams will boost the joint intellectual potential of your organization — Introduction Information Technology is a collaborative sector that caters to billions of diverse customers scattered across the globe. Yet, the products and services created by this sector are conceived by relatively homogeneous teams. This is true in particular for the domains of software development, software engineering, and data science.

How to Visualize Multidimensional Data in 2D — Introduction Data visualization is an important aspect of data science that enables its practitioner to obtain a graphical representation of the data at hand, detect anomalies, or recognize patterns and trends. …

Why its use is almost never justified — The Problem The visualization of quantitative data through charts and graphs has the purpose of making the data easier to understand and to derive valuable insights from it. Pie charts, however, tend to do the opposite and obscure the underlying quantities of the data presented. This is mainly because humans are much…
