Slide 2: Introduction
Title: What is Data Processing?
Content: o Data processing is the transformation of raw data into meaningful information. o It involves a series of steps, forming a "chain," to clean, organize, analyze, and interpret data. o Crucial for extracting insights, making informed decisions, and building data- driven applications.

Slide 3: The Data Processing Chain – Overview
Title: The Chain: Key Stages
Content: A visual representation of the data processing chain, showing the typical stages as interconnected steps. Use a flowchart or a series of boxes. Stages (with brief descriptions): o Data Collection: Gathering raw data from various sources. o Data Cleaning: Handling missing values, inconsistencies, and errors. o Data Transformation: Converting data into a suitable format for analysis. o Data Integration: Combining data from multiple sources. o Data Analysis: Applying statistical and machine learning techniques. o Data Interpretation: Drawing conclusions and insights from the analyzed data. o Data Visualization: Presenting findings in a clear and understandable way.
Slide 4: Data Collection
Title: Gathering the Raw Material
Content: o Identifying and collecting data from relevant sources. o Examples: Databases, APIs, web scraping, surveys, sensors, social media. o Considerations: Data quality, accessibility, volume, and velocity. Example: A company collecting customer purchase data from its online store and in- store POS systems. Image: Icons representing different data sources.
Slide 5: Data Cleaning
Title: Polishing the Data
Content: o Handling missing values (imputation or removal). o Correcting inconsistencies (e.g., typos, duplicate entries). o Removing outliers and noise. o Data validation and verification. Example: Correcting inconsistent date formats in a dataset or filling in missing customer ages using average age. Image: A graphic depicting data cleaning (e.g., a scrub brush cleaning data points). Slide 6: Data Transformation
Title: Shaping the Data
Content: o Converting data into a suitable format for analysis. o Examples: Normalization, standardization, aggregation, feature engineering. o Data type conversion (e.g., converting strings to numerical values). Example: Converting currency values to a single currency or creating new features from existing ones (e.g., calculating total purchase amount from individual item prices). Image: A graphic representing data transformation (e.g., data points being reshaped).
Slide 7: Data Integration
Title: Unifying Data Sources
Content: o Combining data from multiple sources into a unified view. o Addressing data inconsistencies and redundancies. o Creating a single, consistent dataset for analysis. Example: Combining customer data from a CRM system with marketing campaign data from a separate platform. Image: A graphic showing data sources merging into one.
Slide 8: Data Analysis
Title: Uncovering Insights
Content: o Applying statistical and machine learning techniques. o Examples: Descriptive statistics, regression, classification, clustering. o Identifying patterns, trends, and relationships in the data. Example: Using machine learning to predict customer churn or analyzing sales data to identify top-selling products. Image: A chart or graph representing data analysis.
Slide 9: Data Interpretation
Title: Making Sense of the Data
Content: o Drawing conclusions and insights from the analyzed data. o Communicating findings in a clear and concise way. o Connecting insights to business objectives and decision-making. Example: Interpreting the results of a marketing campaign analysis to understand its effectiveness and identify areas for improvement. Image: A graphic representing insights or conclusions.
Slide 10: Data Visualization
Title: Communicating the Story
Content: o Presenting findings in a visually appealing and understandable way. o Examples: Charts, graphs, dashboards. o Facilitating communication and understanding of complex data. Example: Creating a dashboard to visualize key performance indicators (KPIs) for a business. Image: Examples of different types of data visualizations.
