Data Science & AI Guide

Master data science, machine learning, generative AI, and modern AI engineering practices.

Quick Start

Python Data Science Stack

import pandas as pd
import numpy as np
from sklearn.model_selection import train_test_split
from sklearn.ensemble import RandomForestClassifier

# Load and prepare data
df = pd.read_csv('data.csv')
X = df.drop('target', axis=1)
y = df['target']

# Split data
X_train, X_test, y_train, y_test = train_test_split(X, y, test_size=0.2)

# Train model
model = RandomForestClassifier(n_estimators=100)
model.fit(X_train, y_train)

# Evaluate
accuracy = model.score(X_test, y_test)

Deep Learning with PyTorch

import torch
import torch.nn as nn

class SimpleNN(nn.Module):
    def __init__(self):
        super().__init__()
        self.linear1 = nn.Linear(784, 128)
        self.linear2 = nn.Linear(128, 10)

    def forward(self, x):
        x = torch.relu(self.linear1(x))
        return self.linear2(x)

# Training loop
model = SimpleNN()
optimizer = torch.optim.Adam(model.parameters())
criterion = nn.CrossEntropyLoss()

LLM Prompt Engineering

from openai import OpenAI

client = OpenAI()

response = client.chat.completions.create(
  model="gpt-4",
  messages=[
    {"role": "system", "content": "You are a helpful assistant."},
    {"role": "user", "content": "What is machine learning?"}
  ],
  temperature=0.7
)
