Advanced Data Science and Analytics with Python – Final Corrections
Advanced Data Science and Analytics with Python – Proofreading
Super excited to have received the proofread version of Advanced Data Science and Analytics with Python. They all seem to be very straightforward corrections: a few missing commas, some italics here and there and capitalisation bits and bobs.
I hope to be able to finish the corrections before my deadline for March 25th, and then enter the last phase before publication in May 2020.
Cover Draft for “Advanced Data Science and Analytics with Python”
I have received the latest information about the status of my book “Advanced Data Science and Analytics with Python”. This time reviewing the latest cover drafts for the book.
This is currently my favourite one.
Awaiting the proofreading comments, and I hope to update you about that soon.
Pandas 1.0 is out
If you are interested in #DataScience you surely have heard of #pandas and you would be pleased to hear that version 1.0 finally out. With better integration with bumpy and improvements with numba among others. Take a look!

Data Science Talk at University of Hertfordshire
It was great to invited to give the joint Physics Astronomy and Maths + Computer Science research seminar today at the University of Hertfordshire. I had a good opportunity to meet old colleagues and meet new faculty. There were also many students and they with many questions.
I was glad to hear they are thinking about offering more data science courses and even a dedicated programme. I would definitely be interested to hear more about that.
Advanced Data Science and Analytics with Python – Submitted!
There you go, the first checkpoint is completed: I have officially submitted the completed version of “Advanced Data Science and Analytics with Python”.
The book has been some time in the making (and in the thinking…). It is a follow up from my previous book, imaginatively called “Data Science and Analytics with Python” . The book covers aspects that were necessarily left out in the previous volume; however, the readers in mind are still technical people interested in moving into the data science and analytics world. I have tried to keep the same tone as in the first book, peppering the pages with some bits and bobs of popular culture, science fiction and indeed Monty Python puns.
Advanced Data Science and Analytics with Python enables data scientists to continue developing their skills and apply them in business as well as academic settings. The subjects discussed in this book are complementary and a follow up from the topics discuss in Data Science and Analytics with Python. The aim is to cover important advanced areas in data science using tools developed in Python such as SciKit-learn, Pandas, Numpy, Beautiful Soup, NLTK, NetworkX and others. The development is also supported by the use of frameworks such as Keras, TensorFlow and Core ML, as well as Swift for the development of iOS and MacOS applications.
The book can be read independently form the previous volume and each of the chapters in this volume is sufficiently independent from the others proving flexibiity for the reader. Each of the topics adressed in the book tackles the data science workflow from a practical perspective, concentrating on the process and results obtained. The implementation and deployment of trained models are central to the book
Time series analysis, natural language processing, topic modelling, social network analysis, neural networds and deep learning are comprehensively covrered in the book. The book discusses the need to develop data products and tackles the subject of bringing models to their intended audiences. In this case literally to the users fingertips in the form of an iPhone app.
While the book is still in the oven, you may want to take a look at the first volume. You can get your copy here:

ODSC Europe 2019
It was a pleasure to come to the opening day of ODSC Europe 2019. This time round I was the first speaker of the first session, and it was very apt as the talk was effectively an introduction to Data Science.
The next 4 days will be very hectic for the attendees and it the quality is similar to the previous editions we are going to have a great time.
Natural Language Processing – Talk
Last October I had the great opportunity to come and give a talk at the Facultad de Ciencias Políticas, UAEM, México. The main audience were students of the qualitative analysis methods course, but there were people also from informatics and systems engineering.
It was an opportunity to showcase some of the advances that natural language processing offers to social scientists interested in analysing discourse, from politics through to social interactions.
The talk covered a introduction and brief history of the field. We went through the different stages of the analysis, from reading the data, obtaining tokens and labelling their part of speech (POS) and then looking at syntactic and semantic analysis.
We finished the session with a couple of demos. One looking at speeches of Clinton and Trump during their presidential campaigns; the other one was a simple analysis of a novel in Spanish.
Thanks for the invite.
“Advanced Data Science And Analytics” is finished!
It has been a few months of writing, testing, re-writing and starting again, and I am pleased to say that the first complete draft of “Advanced Data Science and Analytics with Python” is ready. Last chapter is done and starting revisions now. Yay!
Data Science and Analytics with Python – Social Network Analysis
Using the time wisely during the Bank Holiday weekend. As my dad would say, “resting while making bricks”… Currently reviewing/editing/correcting Chapter 3 of “Advanced Data Science and Analytics with Python”. Yes, that is volume 2 of “Data Science and Analytics with Python“.
