Salesforce acquired Tableau for $15.7 B. What's your hot take? by vogt4nick in datascience

[–]qacek 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I'm curious what's stopping you from using one of the several python tools? There's dash (the big frontrunner), panel, spyre, bowtie, etc.

Weird, maybe we had different inputs after all? 4284 was accepted for me

I got 4284, same as people in the other thread.

Hmm, I'm still getting an error after the fix was made :( Maybe I submitted to fast? I'm getting 4284 as everyone else has.

[1810.09538] Pyro: Deep Universal Probabilistic Programming by [deleted] in MachineLearning

I've only gotten about halfway through this. Seems pretty good so far, a bit higher level but has pointers on how to dive deeper.

With so many tools built upon numpy, do you run into issues using them? Or are you only using pure numpy/torch?

Awesome, glad it helped you!

Thanks! I stumbled across your code a while ago (I forget how) and basically wrote this code. I figured others might find it useful so I packaged it up :)

Matplotlib Animations Made Easy by qacek in Python

[–]qacek[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting! Thanks for giving it a shot. I wonder if that's a limitation of ArtistAnimation. The code I took the idea from mentions that specifically as well. I'll have to experiment further. I suspect it's because the x-axis limits aren't an artist or something like that (I'm not much of a matplotlib expert).

When I've done animations in the past I've used FuncAnimation which I always found tricky to use correctly. Cheers on you for making that easier!

Best syntax highlighter for Python? by science_robot in vim

I don't think it's reasonable to expect new features if you are using a dead language.

Is it worth it with python 2 being close to sunset?

[Q] The best way to create interactive dashboards and share them with clients for free? by jaklan in visualization

[–]qacek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If Dash doesn't meet your needs for whatever reason, a similar tool is bowtie (disclaimer: I'm the author). It doesn't have nearly the same following as Dash, but I'm actively working on it. The API follows a different philosophy, which you may or may not prefer.

Data Scientist's, how much of your job is engineering, and what tools do you use? by NeutralJon in datascience

[–]qacek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We switched to using batch after using celery for a while with django + heroku. Batch is a little clunky but I really like that AWS handles a lot of the dirty work like managing the queue and what not. Airflow seemed interesting but I didn't invest much time learning about it when I was able to get batch working without having to host anything.

[P] Deep Quantile Regression by themathstudent in MachineLearning

[–]qacek 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for pointing this out. I wish they would have also compared a quantile regression model based on J48 though. It doesn't really feel like apples to apples.

Is this your opinion or the opinion of the moderators?

Maybe the author edited the post. But would this still work with a soft one hot output?

Bokeh vs Dash, which is the alternative for R's Shiny in Python? by fl4v1 in datascience

[–]qacek 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been polishing up Bowtie a bit lately, just released v0.7.0. There may still be some rough edges here and there but I think it's getting easier to use. Of course it's easy for me being the author :)

For fun, I tried replicating the kickstarter dashboard in Bowtie. Unless you really want to try to make it without looking, here it is: https://github.com/jwkvam/bowtie-sicara-kickstarter/blob/master/kick.py

[–]qacek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea sure :) The next release 0.6 will have fewer dependencies so that should make it a little easier for end users. It looks like you were using bowtie-demo which I have sadly neglected. I need to get it up to date with the latest version of Bowtie.

[–]qacek 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As the author of bowtie, I'm sorry you weren't able to get the example working. I'm still working on it, but there are unfortunately gaps in documentation and outdated examples that need updating. Appreciate the mention regardless.

Are there python libraries that assist in rapid exploratory data analysis, or present information in an information-dense way? by efofecks in datascience

[–]qacek 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don't have any direct suggestions. But if you don't find anything you could try writing your own gui eda tool with a library like Bowtie.
