Automating Data Cleaning Processes with Pandas

Automating Data Cleaning Processes with Pandas Few data science projects are exempt from the necessity of cleaning data. Data cleaning encompasses the initial steps of preparing data. Its specific purpose is that only the relevant and useful information underlying the data is retained, be it for its posterior analysis, to use as inputs to an AI or machine learning model, and so on. Unifying or converting data types, dealing with missing values, eliminating noisy values stemming from erroneous measurements, and […]

Interior Design with Stable Diffusion (8-day mini-course)

At its core, Stable Diffusion is a deep learning model that can generate pictures. Together with some other models and UI, you can consider that as a tool to help you create pictures in a new dimension that not only you can provide instructions on how the picture looks like, but also the generative model to brainstorm what you didn’t specify. In this 7-part crash course, you will learn from examples how to make use of Stable Diffusion to finish […]
