<h3>Description</h3><p>Machine&nbsp;learning can feel pretty mysterious at times, but as python developers you have so many of the tools you need to be a part of it! With basic python experience you can use libraries like pandas and tools like Jupyter Notebooks to analyze and manipulate data sets. By apply Test-Driven Development practices to you analysis you can feel confident about what your building.</p> <p>You can build well developed and well tested cleaning scripts and functions using pytest and use these functions in your notebooks and scripts.</p> <p>You can even build simple recommendation engines using libraries such as Scikit Learn!</p> <p>As a part of this talk we will walk through the process of data analysis, data cleaning, feature preparation, and building a simple movie recommendation engine.&nbsp; As we move through those steps, my main focus is to teach engineers how they can incorporate Test-Driven Development into the data cleaning process and the building of our engine.&nbsp; I will also walk through strategies for data analysis and explain at a high level a couple ML concepts that we can use.</p> <p>As participants get the chance to see live examples of how to use Test Driven Development in data analysis and machine learning they can get a handle on some core concepts and learn how to ensure quality in the code that they produce.</p>
