Python Advanced- Inroduction to NumPy

NumPy or Numerical Python is the most fundamental package designed for scientific computing and data analysis.
Most of the other packages such as pandas is built on top of it, and is an important package to know and learn about.
At the heart of NumPy is a data structure called ndarray. Using ndarray, you can store large multidimensional datasets in Python.

 In order to be able to use NumPy, first import it using import statement-

If you are doing performance intensive work, then saving space is of importance. In such cases, you can import specific modules of NumPy by using -

Let's understand why we need numpy with below code snippet?

 If you run the above code you will get following error-
To get the expected result we need to convert the list into numpy array first as below -

I hope with the above example you can easily understand that numpy is an important feature of Python and widely used in mathematical operations required in Data Science.

We can easily find out the shape, size, dimension and type of the array with below code snippet-


Suppose you want to edit the size of the given array then you can do it as below-

For more details about NumPy operations please see NumPy

So keep practicing by your own with above examples in your notebook and comment if you face any issue.

How to use opencv-python with Darknet's YOLOv4?

Another post starts with you beautiful people 😊 Thank you all for messaging me your doubts about Darknet's YOLOv4. I am very happy to see in a very short amount of time my lovely aspiring data scientists have learned a state of the art object detection and recognition technique. If you are new to my blog and to computer vision then please check my following blog posts one by one- Setup Darknet's YOLOv4 Train custom dataset with YOLOv4 Create production-ready API of YOLOv4 model Create a web app for your YOLOv4 model Since now we have learned to use YOLOv4 built on Darknet's framework. In this post, I am going to share with you how can you use your trained YOLOv4 model with another awesome computer vision and machine learning software library-  OpenCV  and of course with Python 🐍. Yes, the Python wrapper of OpenCV library has just released it's latest version with support of YOLOv4 which you can install in your system using below command- pip install opencv-pyt...

How can I make a simple ChatBot?

Another post starts with you beautiful people! It has been a long time of posting a new post. But my friends in this period I was not sitting  where I got a chance to work with chatbot and classification related machine learning problem. So in this post I am going to share all about chatbot- from where I have learned? What I have learned? And how can you build your first bot? Quite interesting right! Chatbot is a program that can conduct an intelligent conversation based on user's input. Since chatbot is a new thing to me also, I first searched- is there any Python library available to start with this? And like always Python has helped me this time also. There is a Python library available with name as  ChatterBot   which is nothing but a machine learning conversational dialog engine. And yes that is all I want to start my learning because I always prefer inbuilt Python library to start my learning journey and once I learn this then only I move ahead for another...

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...
