Fuel for AI - Understanding Your Data
Ever wondered why data scientists spend so much time looking at spreadsheets? Welcome to data exploration and processing - the foundation of every successful machine learning project. While it might not be as exciting as training neural networks, this is where the magic begins.
Think of it like cooking: before you start, you need to know your ingredients. What’s fresh? What needs cleaning? What flavors will work well together? Data exploration helps you answer similar questions about your data, leading to (hopefully) better models and more accurate predictions.
