Comprehensive learning path – Data Science in Python

深度学习路径-用python进行数据学习

Journey from a Pythonnoob(新手) to a Kaggler on Python

So, you want to become a data scientist or may be you are already one and want toexpand(扩张) your toolrepository(贮藏室).
You have landed at the right place. The aim of this page is to provide a comprehensive learning path to people new to python for data analysis. This path provides a comprehensiveoverview(综述)
of steps you need to learn to use Python for data analysis. If you already have some background, or don’t need all thecomponents(成分), feel free toadapt(适应)
your own paths and let us know how you made changes in the path.

Step 0: Warming up

Before starting your journey, the first question to answer is:

Why use Python?

or

How would Python be useful?

Watch the first 30 minutes of this 

v=CoxjADZHUQA">talk from Jeremy

, Founder of DataRobot at PyCon 2014, Ukraine to get an idea of how useful Python could be.

Step 1: Setting up your machine

Now that you have made up your mind, it is time to set up your machine. The easiest way toproceed(開始) is to justdownload
Anaconda from Continuum.io . It comes packaged with most of the things you will need ever. The majordownside(下降趋势) of taking thisroute(路线)
is that you will need to wait for Continuum to update their packages, even when there might be an update available to theunderlying(潜在的) libraries.
If you are a starter, that should hardly matter.

If you face any challenges in installing(安装), you can find moredetailed
instructions for various OS here

Step 2: Learn the basics of Python language

You should start by understanding the basics of the language, libraries and datastructure(结构). The python track fromCodecademy
is one of the best places to start your journey. By end of this course, you should be comfortable writing small scripts on Python, but also understand classes and objects.

Specifically learn: Lists, Tuples, Dictionaries, List
comprehensions(理解), Dictionary comprehensions 

Assignment: Solve the python
tutorial(辅导的) questions on HackerRank. These should get your brain thinking on Python scripting

Alternate resources: If
interactive(交互式的) coding is not your style of learning, you can also look at TheGoogle Class for Python.
It is a 2 day class series and also covers some of the parts discussed later.

Step 3: Learn Regular Expressions in Python

You will need to use them a lot for data
cleansing(净化), especially if you are working on text data. The best way tolearn Regular
expressions is to go through the Google class and keep this cheat sheet handy.

Assignment: Do the baby names exercise

If you still need more practice, follow this tutorial(个别指导) for text cleaning. It will challenge you on various stepsinvolved(包括)
in datawrangling(争论).

Step 4: Learn Scientific libraries in Python – NumPy, SciPy, Matplotlib and Pandas

This is where fun begins! Here is a brief introduction to various libraries. Let’s start practicing some common operations.

• Practice the NumPy tutorial thoroughly, especially NumPy
  arrays(数组). This will form a goodfoundation(基础) for things to come.
• Next, look at the SciPy tutorials. Go through the introduction and the basics and do the remaining onesbasis(基础) your needs.
• If you guessed Matplotlib tutorials next, you are wrong! They are too
  comprehensive(综合的) for our need here. Instead look at thisipython
  notebook till Line 68 (i.e. till
  animations(活泼))
• Finally, let us look at Pandas. Pandas provide DataFrame
  functionality(功能) (like R) for Python. This is also where you should spend good time practicing. Pandas would become the mosteffective(有效的)
  tool for all mid-size data analysis. Start with a short introduction,10 minutes to pandas. Then move on to a more detailedtutorial
  on pandas.

You can also look at Exploratory(勘探的) Data Analysis with Pandas andData
munging with Pandas

Additional Resources:

• If you need a book on Pandas and NumPy, “Python(巨蟒)
  for Data Analysis by Wes McKinney”
• There are a lot of tutorials(个别指导) as part of Pandasdocumentation(文件材料).
  You can have a look at themhere

Assignment: Solve this assignment(分配) from CS109 course from Harvard.

Step 5: Effective Data Visualization

Go through this lecture form CS109. You can ignore(驳回诉讼) the initial 2 minutes, but what follows after that isawesome(可怕的)!
Follow this lecture up withthis assignment

Step 6: Learn Scikit-learn and Machine Learning

Now, we come to the meat of this entire process. Scikit-learn is the most useful library onpython(巨蟒) for machine learning.
Here is abriefoverview(综述)
of the library. Go through lecture 10 to lecture 18 fromCS109 course from Harvard. You will go through an overview of machine learning, Supervised learningalgorithms(算法)
likeregressions(回归), decision trees,ensemble(全体)
modeling and non-supervised learning algorithms likeclustering(聚集). Followindividual(个人的)
lectures with theassignments from those lectures.

Additional Resources:

• If there is one book, you must read, it is Programming Collective Intelligence – a
  classic(经典的), but still one of the best books on the subject.
• Additionally(附加的), you can also follow one of the best courses onMachine
  Learning course from Yaser Abu-Mostafa. If you need more
  lucid(明晰的) explanation for the techniques, you can opt for theMachine learning course from Andrew Ng and follow
  the exercises on Python.
• Tutorials(个别指导) on Scikit learn

Assignment: Try out this challenge on Kaggle

Step 7: Practice, practice and Practice

Congratulations, you made it!

You now have all what you need in technical skills. It is a matter of practice and what better place to practice than compete with fellow Data Scientists on Kaggle. Go, dive into one of the live competitions currently running onKaggle
and give all what you have learnt a try!

Step 8: Deep Learning

Now that you have learnt most of machine learning techniques, it is time to give Deep Learning a shot. There is a good chance that you already know what is Deep Learning, but if you still need a briefintro(介绍),here
it is.

I am myself new to deep learning, so please take these suggestions with apinch(匮乏) of salt. The mostcomprehensive(综合的)
resource isdeeplearning.net. You will find everything here – lectures, datasets, challenges, tutorials. You can also try thecourse
from Geoff Hinton a try in a bid to understand the basics of Neural Networks.

P.S. In case you need to use Big Data libraries, give
Pydoop and PyMongo a try. They are not included here as Big Data learning path is an entire topic in itself.
