Look inside

Master the basic methods for handling most real-world scenarios as you play the role of a data scientist in an online recruiting tech company or a large organization’s HR department. Using pandas, you’ll process, extract, and transform numerical, categorical, time series, and text data into structured features that are ready for data analysis and ML model training. When you’re done, you’ll have hands-on experience working with most data types you’ll find in the real world, as well as useful skills for extracting and engineering features.

This project is designed for learning purposes and is not a complete, production-ready application or solution.

book resources

When you start your liveProject, you get full access to the following books for 90 days.

project author

Ruihao Qiu

Ruihao Qiu is the senior data scientist at a German tech company and has more than five years experience in data science and machine learning. As part of the process of earning his PhD in statistical physics, he developed statistical models to simulate and search for new nanomaterials. In his early days as a data science consultant, he helped his clients from DAX30 multinational companies solve real-world data challenges. As a senior data scientist, he designed and built data pipeline and ML recommender systems for online recruitment applications. He enjoys taking on different career roles and sharing ideas about his data science work in tech blogs and in public presentations.

prerequisites
