Exploring The File Import- Continue

Another post starts with you beautiful people!
I hope you have enjoyed my previous post about Exploring The File Import where we learned about flat file import.
But there are a number of datatypes that cannot be saved easily to flat files, such as lists and dictionaries.
In this exercise we will deal with Pickle,Excel,SAS and HDF5 files.

First we will see how to import the pickle file-
In this exercise, we'll import the pickle package, open a previously pickled data structure from a file and load it.You can find more details about pickle here-what is pickle?

Run the above code snippet in your notebook and discover what Python datatype it yields.

Second we see how to load a excel file-
Whether you like it or not, any working data scientist will need to deal with Excel spreadsheets at some point in time. You won't always want to do so in Excel, however!
Here, we'll learn how to use pandas to import Excel spreadsheets and how to list the names of the sheets in any loaded .xls file.
Specifically, we'll be loading and checking out the spreadsheet 'PRIO Battle Deaths Dataset 3.1.xls', modified from the Peace Research Institute Oslo's (PRIO) dataset.
This data contains age-adjusted mortality rates due to war in various countries over several years.

There may be more than 1 sheet in a xls file so in the below code snippet we learn how to read each sheet-

Third we will see how to load a SAS file and plot the data-
In this exercise, we'll figure out how to import a SAS file as a DataFrame using SAS7BDAT and pandasTell me more about sas7bdat

Result-


Next we will learn how to load a HDF5 file-
In this exercise, we'll import it using the h5py library [tell me more]. We'll also print out its datatype to confirm we have imported it correctly.You can find the LIGO data used in on Signal Processing plus loads of documentation and tutorials here-LIGO Dataset


Result-


Extracting data from your HDF5 file-
In this exercise, we'll extract some of the LIGO experiment's actual data from the HDF5 file and we'll visualize it. You can find more about this type of file here- What is HDF5?

Result-


How to load a MATLAB file- 
In this exercise, we'll figure out how to load a MATLAB file using scipy.io.loadmat().



This file contains gene expression data from the Albeck Lab at UC Davis. You can find the data and some great documentation here-download dataset

Run the above code in your notebook and discover what Python datatype it yields.

YOLObile- a new state of the art Real-Time Object Detection model for Mobile Devices

  Another post starts with you beautiful people! Thanks for giving so many views on my previous post 👍. I am glad to see my previous posts are helping people to use state of the art object detection and recognition deep learning model in their projects. If you are new to my blog, I recommend seeing once my previous posts, and you will not be disappointed if your goal is to learn applied computer vision free of cost. Continuing my journey of sharing knowledge in this post I am going to share with you a new state of the art framework for object detection on mobile devices-  YOLObile  📱 There has been a trade-off between speed and the accuracy of object detections. For example, the state of the art,  YOLOv4 model gives us a very accurate detection but its speed is slow if we want to use it on a mobile device. On the other hand, its lighter version YOLOv4-tiny works very fast on a mobile device but its accuracy reduces. For a detailed comparison of FPS vs mAP you can ...

Learn the fastest way to build data apps

Another post starts with you beautiful people! I hope you have enjoyed and learned something new from my previous three posts about machine learning model deployment. In one post we have learned  How to deploy a model as FastAPI?  I n the second post, we have learned  How to deploy a deep learning model as RestAPI ? and in the third post, we have also learned  How to scale your deep learning model API?   If you are following my blog posts, you have seen how easily you have transit yourselves from aspiring to a mature data scientist. In this new post, I am going to share a new framework-  Streamlit which will help you to easily create a beautiful app with Python only. I will show here how had I used the Streamlit framework to create an app for my YOLOv3 custom model. What is Streamlit? Streamlit’s open-source app framework is the easiest way for data scientists and machine learning engineers to create beautiful, performant apps in only a few hours!...

How to deploy your ML model as Fast API?

Another post starts with you beautiful people! Thank you all for showing so much interests in my last posts about object detection and recognition using YOLOv4. I was very happy to see many aspiring data scientists have learnt from my past three posts about using YOLOv4. Today I am going to share you all a new skill to learn. Most of you have seen my post about  deploying and consuming ML models as Flask API   where we have learnt to deploy and consume a keras model with Flask API  . In this post you are going to learn a new framework-  FastAPI to deploy your model as Rest API. After completing this post you will have a new industry standard skill. What is FastAPI? FastAPI is a modern, fast (high-performance), web framework for building APIs with Python 3.6+ based on standard Python type hints. It is easy to learn, fast to code and ready for production . Yes, you heard it right! Flask is not meant to be used in production but with FastAPI you can use you...
