A quick demo illustrating a few data science techniques, and all in 30 minutes! We're going to illustrate what you can do in 30 minutes with a little bit of programming and science. This is an open-source contribution to the community so please add as much as you want!
NOTE: All code written below are done in python2, using python3 will not work.
You'll need to install the requirements
pip install -r requirements.txt
Next, you will also need to sign up for Twitter, obtain API credentials, and add those credentials to twitter_secrets.json.nogit
(this file is intentionally ignored by git). You can obtain your API credentials on the Twitter API page. This file must be in JSON format so that the SimpleJSON package can read it, which will look something like:
{
"api_key": "XXXX",
"api_secret": "XXXX",
"access_token": "XXXX",
"access_token_secret": "XXXX"
}
where the XXXX values are yours.
To run this demo, you will need to startup an ipython notebook instance:
ipython notebook
Then go to http://localhost:8888
and click on DS30.ipynb
to view the example
This is meant to just give you a brief guided tour of a few topics in machine-learning.
