Date: 30 May 2026 (Sat) Time: 15:30 - 18:00 \*HKT Coordinator: Ming Tou, Alex Au Light Refreshments will be available! This is a **workshop** for Python Data Cleaning. Please bring along your laptop with **Python3 installed with enough battery**! *Winners will get a small prize as an accomplishment **in the next meetup**.* **Due to the university entrance policy, we are currently closed for new university QR code entrance registration. Please feel free to join us by registering yourself under the university entrance counter!** ***Mind the Data Gap*** **This model will be delayed due to: missing values, outliers, and delimiter congestion.** In this hands-on HKPUG workshop, we are turning a Python data cleaning exercise into a gamified team sprint. You will work with a **synthetic Hong Kong-inspired transport dataset**. The data is messy on purpose: missing values, weird outliers, inconsistent categories, URL-encoded station names, confusing delimiters, and fields that look useless until you extract the hidden signal. Your mission is simple: **Clean the data. Extract better features. Run the scorer. Beat the model.** You do not need to tune the model. You need to **rescue the data**. ***How the Challenge Works*** Teams will write a Python data transformation script to clean and enrich the dataset. Our scoring pipeline will then: 1. Run your transformation on the training and test data 2. Remove any label / target leakage columns 3. Train a fixed Gradient Boosting model 4. Evaluate the model using proxy metrics such as F1 and ROC-AUC 5. Convert the result into a data cleaning score This is not meant to be a perfect data quality metric. It is an accessible proxy: if your **cleaning** and **feature extraction** help the **model perform better**, your team gets a better score. **Capacity:** 60 (Team of 4) **Venue Info:** City University of Hong Kong, Kowloon Tong (Exact Location TBC) **Rundown:** **30th May** **15:30 – 15:40** Opening Remarks, Team Formation & GitHub Setup **15:40 – 15:55** Briefing: Data Traffic Report, Challenge Rules & Scoring Pipeline **15:55 – 16:20** Demo: Messy Dataset, Data Cleaning Strategy & `transform.py` **16:20 – 17:10** Team Sprint Part 1: Missing Values, Outliers & Category Cleanup **17:10 – 18:00** Team Sprint Part 2: Feature Extraction, Hidden Signals & Scoring Iterations **18:00 -** Networking outside City University **13th June** **\- 23:59** Winner Team Announcement **Audience pre-requisite:** * **Hardware:** **MUST** bring a laptop with Python 3 installed and a code editor (VS Code, PyCharm, etc.). * **Skills:** Recommended having basic to intermediate-level knowledge of Python (handling JSON, using the `requests` library, and writing basic `if/else/while` loops). **How to join?** 1.

We'll meet at The Capital One Café, 167 Easton Town Center, Space A-103. This is in the main mall where the Microsoft store used to be, on your left if you're standing at the bottom of the AMC Theater escalator. Join us on Saturday for an hour of uninterrupted wordmaking! • What we'll do Join us for an hour of writing! We’ve discovered that it’s strikingly helpful to write with other writers. See if it’s true for you at 10AM on Saturday mornings. Be it a book, blog, script, essay, dissertation, resume, melody, poem or just plain work stuff, you are invited to write it with us. No one will see what you've written or give you unsolicited advice. Instead of just thinking about writing, come and get some real writing done. SCHEDULE: 10:00 - SESSION 1: quick intros. 10:10 - timer starts: write for 1 hour. 11:10 - chat / take off / keep writing. OPTIONAL SOCIALIZING happens at 11A-11:30ish. Writing is very solitary. Connecting (and sometimes even commiserating) with other writers is a cool thing. BEING LATE IS OKAY: just show up and get settled, then check-in with me after the session. (I’ll be the person with the Shut Up & Write! sign.) If you were on time, please be willing to make room for the friendly latecomer. Happy writing and I look forward to seeing you! • What to bring Whatever you need to be able to write! Bring earbuds/earplugs if you want to block noise or the occasional conversation by other patrons. Electrical outlets are limited, so charge your devices before whenever possible. See you at The Café on Saturday!

Greetings writers! Come down and join your fellow wordsmiths for one hour of uninterrupted writing time in the upper level of the Market District Supermarket in Upper Arlington. The main entrance of the shopping center opens onto stairs/elevator leading up to the 2nd floor cafe section where we will have a table displaying a sign with the Shut Up & Write logo. Writing is largely a solitary craft. Practicing with others in a community setting may be the thing you need to fire your own routine. We’ll meet on Wednesday evenings, starting the clock at 6:30, following a brief period of introductions. This is solid writing time and all inclusive. Any project is acceptable, be it fiction, non -fiction, work or homework assignment. All is welcome and will remain private to you. The market boasts a Starbucks, a full service bar and various affordable food options. Parking is plentiful, free Wifi is provided as well as outlets for charging your devices, though they are somewhat limited, so plan accordingly. Show up as early as you like, or stay late. This group tends to socialize some, both before and after the alloted time, but this is not mandatory to you. Feel free to come and go as you please and late arrivals are welcome. The cafe may be noisy on occasion so headphones/ earbuds are reccommended as you see fit. Please try to RSVP if possible so that we may grab enough seats for all—the venue can be busy at times. Feel free to message me privately wth any questions and/ or concerns you may have. Happy writing!
