Presentation: Data Science Meets Star Wars: The F#orce Awakens
Location:
- Dumbo / Navy Yard
Duration
Day of week:
- Monday
Level:
- Intermediate
Persona:
- Data Scientist
- Developer
- Developer, .NET
Key Takeaways
- Learn universal functional language techniques for data science problem sets.
- See how F# concepts such as type providers and integrations can improve developer productivity.
- Understand the application of concepts like clustering coefficient and integration of R and F# in asking and solving interesting problems around Star Wars.
Abstract
Let's dive together into the the world of Star Wars! We'll use the force of F# and R to process publicly available datasets relating to the Star Wars movies to find out who's the most important character in the stories and why were the prequels so unsuccessful. On the way, you'll see why F# is a great language for data science - from preprocessing the data to visualizing them - and you'll also learn how you can use similar data processing pipelines to get interesting insights from your own data.
