Sooner or later, every data science project faces an inevitable challenge: speed. Working with larger data sets leads to slower processing thereof, so you’ll eventually have to think about optimizing your algorithm’s run time. As most of you already know, parallelization is a necessary step of this optimization. Python offers two built-in libraries for parallelization:...
Reduce the incidental issues in your programming environment so you can focus on the important data science problems. Consider the following situation: you’re trying to practice your soccer skills, but each time you take to the field, you encounter some problems: your shoes are on the wrong feet, the laces aren’t tied correctly, your socks are...

The best way to learn data science is by doing it, and there’s no other alternative . From this post, I am going to reflect my learning on how I developed a machine learning model, which can classify movies reviews as positive or negative , and how I embed this model to a Python Flask web application. The...
