In this video, we will review several data

science libraries. Libraries are a collection of functions and


methods that enable you to perform a wide variety of actions without writing the code
yourself. We will focus on Python libraries:
Scientific Computing Libraries in Python Visualization Libraries in Python
High-Level Machine Learning and Deep Learning Libraries – “High-level” simply means
you don’t have to worry about details, although this makes it difficult to study or improve
Deep Learning Libraries in Python Libraries used in other languages Libraries usually contain
built-in modules
providing different functionalities that you can use directly; these are sometimes called
“frameworks.” There are also extensive libraries, offering
a broad range of facilities. Pandas offers data structures and tools for
effective data cleaning, manipulation, and analysis. It provides tools to work with different
types
of data. The primary instrument of Pandas is a two-dimensional
table consisting of columns and rows. This table is called a “DataFrame” and
is designed to provide easy indexing so you can work with your data. NumPy libraries are based
on arrays, enabling
you to apply mathematical functions to these arrays. Pandas is actually built on top of NumPy
Data visualization methods are a great way
to communicate with others and show the meaningful results of analysis. These libraries enable
you to create graphs,
charts and maps. The Matplotlib package is the most well-known
library for data visualization, and it’s excellent for making graphs and plots. The graphs are also
highly customizable. Another high-level visualization library,
Seaborn, is based on matplotlib. Seaborn makes it easy to generate plots like
heat maps, time series, and violin plots. For machine learning, the Scikit-learn library
contains tools for statistical modeling, including regression, classification, clustering and
others. It is built on NumPy, SciPy, and matplotlib,
and it’s relatively simple to get started. For this high-level approach, you define the
model and specify the parameter types you would like to use. For deep learning, Keras enables
you to build
the standard deep learning model. Like Scikit-learn, the high-level interface
enables you to build models quickly and simply. It can function using graphics processing
units (GPU), but for many deep learning cases a lower-level environment is required.
TensorFlow is a low-level framework used in
large scale production of deep learning models. It’s designed for production but can be
unwieldy for experimentation. Pytorch is used for experimentation, making
it simple for researchers to test their ideas Apache Spark is a general-purpose cluster-
computing
framework that enables you to process data using compute clusters. This means that you
process data in parallel,
using multiple computers simultaneously. The Spark library has similar functionality
as Pandas
Numpy Scikit-learn Apache Spark data processing jobs can use
Python R
Scala, or SQL There are many libraries for Scala, which
is predominately used in data engineering but is also sometimes used in data science. Let’s
discuss some of the libraries that
are complementary to Spark Vegas is a Scala library for statistical data
visualizations. With Vegas, you can work with data files as
well as Spark DataFrames. For deep learning, you can use BigDL. R has built-in functionality for
machine learning
and data visualization, but there are also several complementary libraries:
ggplot2 is a popular library for data visualization in R.
You can also use libraries that enable you to interface with Keras and TensorFlow. R has been
the de-facto standard for open
source data science but it is now being superseded by Python.
