The following is an evolving list of some of the most popular initiatives and resources. Find out about the schedule and more here:. Get started with Makeover Monday and join a community dedicated to helping you learn and improve your analysis and visualization skills!
Every Sunday, a data set is posted for anyone around the world to try their hand at visualizing it. See what people are creating on Tableau Public by exploring the hashtag MakeoverMonday , or start participating by following instructions here:. Every Wednesday, leaders of Workout Wednesday share a viz, challenging anyone around the world to attempt replication and to test and grow their knowledge of useful Tableau techniques. Once a month, Throwback Data Thursday provides a historical data set for you to explore, along with details on the provenance of the data source.
This initiative is run by David Velleca. See this Data. World profile for the data:. Is sports data your thing? The community has you covered. Once a month Simon Beaumont , Spencer Baucke and James Smith host a data visualization challenge based on a topical sports theme, regularly sharing updates from the sports visualization world and providing rich datasets across a wide range of sports. To find out more and to download the latest sports data, visit the Sports Viz Sunday website:.
The right challenge for those who are interested in health data. As part of this initiative, Lindsay Betzendahl regularly shares fascinating health-related datasets on Data. World profile for the data. Would you like to practice your data viz skills while working on a real-world project and making a real impact?
Join one of the Viz for Social goods projects that are run together with different NGOs and mission-driven organizations from around the world. Founded by Chloe Tseng, the initiative is run by a global team of enthusiastic board members, dedicated volunteers, and local chapter leads. Iron Quest is a monthly data visualization challenge that follows a similar format to the Tableau Iron Viz feeder competitions and that aims at getting people more confident with sourcing their own data and building vizzes that focus on the Iron Viz judging criteria design, storytelling and analysis.
Participants have a calendar month to find a suitable data set and then design, build and submit a data visualization. You can opt-in to receive feedback from organizer Sarah Bartlett and other guest hosts. You can keep track of submissions via this dashboard or by searching for the hashtag IronQuest on Tableau Public. Before you can look for a story in the data and then publish a visualization to Tableau Public, you will often have to clean, transform, or aggregate your data first.
Carl Allchin and Jonathan Allenby set a new challenge every week that helps you learn more about self-service data preparation using Tableau Prep Builder. The SWDchallenge is a monthly challenge where you can practice and apply data visualization and storytelling skills. Participants have a week to find data, create and share their visual and related commentary.
Go to the storytelling with data website to get started:. World site. For more information on the Sustainable Development Goals and how to participate visit the project's web site below. Aired typically on a monthly basis. By doing so, you get the data path mounting point in your training script via arguments. This way, you are able to use the same training script for local debugging and remote training on any cloud platform.
The following script is submitted through the ScriptRunConfig. When you mount a dataset, you attach the files referenced by the dataset to a directory mount point and make it available on the compute target. If your data size exceeds the compute disk size, downloading is not possible. For this scenario, we recommend mounting since only the data files used by your script are loaded at the time of processing. When you download a dataset, all the files referenced by the dataset will be downloaded to the compute target.
Downloading is supported for all compute types. If your script processes all files referenced by the dataset, and your compute disk can fit your full dataset, downloading is recommended to avoid the overhead of streaming data from storage services.
For multi-node downloads see how to avoid throttling. The download path name should not be longer than alpha-numeric characters for Windows OS. For Linux OS, the download path name should not be longer than 4, alpha-numeric characters. Registered datasets are accessible both locally and remotely on compute clusters like the Azure Machine Learning compute.
To access your registered dataset across experiments, use the following code to access your workspace and get the dataset that was used in your previously submitted run. Azure Blob storage has higher throughput speeds than an Azure file share and will scale to large numbers of jobs started in parallel. For this reason, we recommend configuring your runs to use Blob storage for transferring source code files. The following code example specifies in the run configuration which blob datastore to use for source code transfers.
Familiarity with Azure's automated machine learning and machine learning pipelines facilities and SDK. A graph of PipelineStep objects defines a Pipeline. There are several subclasses of PipelineStep. The preferred way to initially move data into an ML pipeline is with Dataset objects. To move data between steps and possible save data output from runs, the preferred way is with OutputFileDatasetConfig and OutputTabularDatasetConfig objects. For more information, see Input and output data from ML pipelines.
A Pipeline runs in an Experiment. The pipeline Run has, for each step, a child StepRun. The outputs of the automated ML StepRun are the training metrics and highest-performing model.
To make things concrete, this article creates a simple pipeline for a classification task. The task is predicting Titanic survival, but we won't be discussing the data or task except in passing. Often, an ML workflow starts with pre-existing baseline data.
This is a good scenario for a registered dataset. Datasets are visible across the workspace, support versioning, and can be interactively explored. There are many ways to create and populate a dataset, as discussed in Create Azure Machine Learning datasets.
The code first logs in to the Azure Machine Learning workspace defined in config. The code downloads CSV data from the Web, uses them to instantiate a TabularDataset and then registers the dataset with the workspace. Finally, the function Dataset. Additional resources that the pipeline will need are storage and, generally, Azure Machine Learning compute resources.
You may choose to use low-priority VMs to run some or all of your workloads. See how to create a low-priority VM. After that, the code checks if the AML compute target 'cpu-cluster' already exists. If not, we specify that we want a small CPU-based compute target. If you plan to use automated ML's deep learning features for instance, text featurization with DNN support you should choose a compute with strong GPU support, as described in GPU optimized virtual machine sizes.
The code blocks until the target is provisioned and then prints some details of the just-created compute target. The AutoMLStep configures its dependencies automatically during job submission. The runtime context is set by creating and configuring a RunConfiguration object.
You can set headers either after reading the file, simply by assigning the columns field of the DataFrame instance another list, or you can set the headers while reading the CSV in the first place. Hmm, now we've got our custom headers, but the first row of the CSV file, which was originally used to set the column names is also included in the DataFrame. We'll want to skip this line, since it no longer holds any value for us.
Works like a charm! The skiprows argument accepts a list of rows you'd like to skip. You can skip, for example, 0, 4, 7 if you'd like as well:. This would result in a DataFrame that doesn't have some of the rows we've seen before:. Check out our hands-on, practical guide to learning Git, with best-practices, industry-accepted standards, and included cheat sheet.
Stop Googling Git commands and actually learn it! Keep in mind that skipping rows happens before the DataFrame is fully formed, so you won't be missing any indices of the DataFrame itself, though, in this case, you can see that the Id field imported from the CSV file is missing IDs 4 and 7. You can also decide to remove the header completely, which would result in a DataFrame that simply has
