Open Tech Calendar

Welcome to the next virtual event from PyData Edinburgh!
As always, this will last an hour, and we'll have a main talk plus a Q&A session at the end. The session starts at 18:30, use the Zoom link which will be provided in the registration email once you RSVP.

As always, let us know if you would like to give a talk in the future, whether a main or a lightning one, we're always looking out for speakers (as you know!). We've got some more volunteers for lightning talk, so if we get a couple more we'll be able to run an evening with just lightning talks, which would be great.

MAIN TALK: Automated Exploratory Data Analysis of Databases
=====================================================================

Diego will present some of the challenges of exploratory data analysis in data science and data engineering projects and how to approach them. He will show how to use the AEDA Python library (github.com) developed by himself that helps with the exploration of new data sets from databases. The takeaways from the talk are: ideas and techniques to use for data exploration, how to use an automated solution to explore the content of databases and how to create a data catalogue, and also some recommendations of Python libraries for data exploration.

We'll use the chat channel in Zoom to deal with any issues, and we'll advise on how we will run the Q&A at the start of the session.
