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.

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 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...

Exploring The File Import

Another post starts with you beautiful people! Today we will explore various file import options in Python which I learned from a great learning site- DataCamp . In order to import data into Python, we should first have an idea of what files are in our working directory. We will learn step by step examples as given below- Importing entire text files- In this exercise, we'll be working with the file mobydick.txt [ download here ] It is a text file that contains the opening sentences of Moby Dick, one of the great American novels! Here you'll get experience opening a text file, printing its contents to the shell and, finally, closing it- # Open a file: file file = open('mobydick.txt', mode='r') # Print it print(file.read()) # Check whether file is closed print(file.closed) # Close file file.close() # Check whether file is closed print(file.closed) Importing text files line by line- For large files, we may not want to print all of th...
