Introducing Python for Data Science (scikit-learn, Pandas, Kaggle, Cython and mo

Ian Ozsvald & Bart Baddeley will demo four areas of data science using Python. The goal is to introduce a number of these areas that may not be familiar to more traditional Python developers, this could open into an extended future session if there's interest.

The talk will cover:

• Using the IPython Notebook and Scikit-learn to begin solving the Kaggle Titanic machine learning problem

• Natural Language Processing and Machine Learning for social media analysis using scikit-learn

• Using Pandas and QGIS to solve the Future Cities London hackweekend challenge

• High Performance Python using profiling techniques, Cython and new tools like Numba to calculate at C-like speeds
