A Comprehensive Introduction to Bayesian Deep Learning by Joris Baan via @TOPBOTS

Even knowing basic probability theory, you may have a hard time understanding and connecting that to modern Bayesian deep learning research. In this article, Joris Baan aims to bridge that gap and provides a comprehensive introduction.

I found this useful especially if you can do with a reminder of Bayesian DL and certainly I appreciated the reminder and was able to approach it with a fresher viewpoint.

Python’s Most Confusing Operator by @emmettboudgie via @TDataScience

An interesting look at the quirks and features of Python’s plus-equals operator. 

It takes a little getting used to and I still have to work code around in my head just to be sure it does what I want it to do. A great article that gave me a much better summary of the plus-equals usage and meaning.

Converting production databases into live data streams for Apache Kafka can be labor intensive and costly. As Kafka architectures grow, complexity also rises as data teams begin to configure clusters for redundancy, partitions for performance, as well as for consumer groups for correlated analytics processing.

In this latest Data Science Central webinar, you’ll discover how Qlik’s data integration platform lets organizations automatically produce real-time transaction streams into Kafka, Confluent Platform, or Confluent Cloud, deliver faster business insights from data, enable streaming analytics, as well as streaming ingestion for modern analytics.

Speakers:

  Adam Mayer, Senior Technical Product Marketing Manager - Qlik  
  Rankesh Kumar, Partner Solutions Engineer - Confluent   

Hosted by:

  Sean Welch, Host and Producer - Data Science Central

Stop Using Python Lists Everywhere — Consider Using Deques Instead by Yong Cui via @BttrProgramming

Know when to use deques as an alternative to Python lists.

I had no idea these existed and I am SO glad I read this - so thank you - because it has changed the way I write some python code (for the better).

    Kedro: The Best Python Framework for Data Science!! by Josue Luzardo Gebrim via @Medium

    Kedro: Python Framework for data sciences!

    I liked this and all the code snippets. It certainly introduced me to something I was not familiar with and it gives me something to investigate further.
