Please find the minutes of September 2018 Meetup. *Data Compression Techniques* Data compression involves minimizing bytes size without degrading quality to an unacceptable level. There are lossy & lossless data compressions. But how can we measure information? Information theory provides solution for the same. It defines 1 unit of information. Uncertainty, Information and Entropy are terms used in Information Theory. If a data is uncertain it means it has low probability and hence high in information and entropy. (For ex. it is hot in chennai is not an information but snow in chennai is) If a data needs to be compressed, instead of coding directly the bits, we can alter the codeword based on their probability of occurrence. Huffman Coding Algorithm uses this method to achieve lossless data compression. It maps symbols to probability based codeword. Information theory is a well developed field and many ideas are drawn from it in data sciences. On a lighter note, this was already implemented in Morse code on 1836 before Shannon formalised it on 1948. *Last mile problem in ML* Software Engineering involves a function which takes an input and gives an output. Machine Learning involves a good function which is called as model. For ML we now have dead simple APIs with abundance power. The cornerstone of science is repeatable results. Since data science involves science, it is important to produce repeatable results and hence track experiments. When this is not done we end up with zombie models. We need a way to obtain the following (wishlist) - Remember what training data used - Remember what code was used - Remember configuration and hyperparameters used - Remember results - Save model - Compare the results We've a tool called mlflow which provides these. With the help of apis such as set_tracking_url, start, log_param, log_metric, log_artifact these could be achieved. We could also deploy to AWS sagemaker. The code structure should be proper and should try to expose the models like a library.

I have a set of 60 Excel files with More than 796,000 Sentences. Our work is to find the duplicate sentences from these corpus. I just executed a Python function with Pandas Lib. In that process I can able to find and remove the Total no.of duplicates and combine the overall excel sheet into a combined CSV file. Till this steps It works perfect. I can able to calculate the Total no.of Duplicates in Overall 60 files.I need some additional functionalities in my script. ** I just want to find the no.of duplicates in each file. * ** If I have already checked the folder with 10 files, It shows some data of duplicates.

Those who are not in facebook need not worry, as anything and everything I post there will be informed in this mailing list too by me so that no one misses anything! :) Also, I see the Slack workspace of ChennaiPy given in the website is not working, so I'd be creating another Slack channel which works and I'll share the invitation link here. It's my request to those who are in charge of the website to replace the workspace in the website with the current one eventually so that anyone interested can open Slack and join the active community from there! :) As students, it's our duty to make ChennaiPy as active as possible. I am also thinking of taking an initiative to start a Hack-Sats on every 1st or maybe 2nd Suturdays where we can come together and discuss and contribute in various open source projects for the love of FOSS!

This would just lead to more fragmentation, if discussions were to happen on the Facebook group, it will not visible to people on the mailing list. I would recommend people and students to join the mailing list. > Also, I see the Slack workspace of ChennaiPy given in the website > is not working, so I'd be creating another Slack channel which works > and I'll share the invitation link here. It's my request to those who > are in charge of the website to replace the workspace in the website > with the current one eventually so that anyone interested can open > Slack and join the active community from there! :) No sure what you mean by "Slack workspace ... is not working." I just checked the channel, it looks good. If you can be more specific, we can see what needs to be fixed. BTW, the best way to work, is to work with the community by helping with things that needs to be fixed, rather than forking off and creating competing services. > As students, it's our duty to make ChennaiPy as active as > possible.

Thanks for coming forward, and taking up initiatives. You might want to elaborate more on what you plan to do during Hack-Sats. What to expect at the meetup? Who will be leading the contributions effort? How much time are you planning to spend? Is there any pre-requisite, for people attending the event? I request you to present your idea at the October Chennaipy meetup. Once the details are ironed out we can get this scheduled, on meetup.

Talk 1: Computer vision in Test automation using Robot Framework. Speaker: Vijayakumar Vijayakumar gave an introduction to Testing and various types of testing like Unit Testing, Integration Testing. For this talk he demonstrated the Integration testing of "Orpat digital Alarm Clock" using computer vision and Robot framework. Input Automation: He automated input buttons(hour, minute, set, power off) of the clock with relay control that he integrated with his laptop using serial port. Using the python 'serial' port app running on his laptop he controlled the relays and hence inputs to Orpat clock. He wrote a python library that abstracts the device. Capturing LCD output: He setup the Document Camera that records the LCD output of the Orpat clock. This camera is connected to the same Laptop where input is controlled. From Camera video is read using ffmpeg app at 1 fps. These video frames are given to SSOCR library to read and understand the display in the Orpat clock. Using the input, output automation and library abstraction. Vijay showed command line invocation showing each test execution. Then slowly he built the Robot based test suite that checks various conditions. Live Hardware Demo made it an awesome experience. Talk 2: Scientific computing using python Speaker: Ashok Govindarajan. Simulation of wireless channel attenuation/disturbances in python using scipy/numpy. He explained the importance of simulation. He explained various concepts like probability distribution functions especially poisson distribution's role in finding the amount of time one need to wait in a queue. He finally concluded Scientific computing === Statistics + Probability. He demoed his program to audience. He introduced numpy, scipy and matplotlib.
