Some nice open-source python repositories to work

I have been looking to contribute in some nice data science repositories in python. I have searched some nice repos which are in their begining phases or rather they are in a position that they can be touched to improve and amateurs like me in machine learning with almost no commit in open sources, can do a pretty good job committing to those. Keeping that in mind, I am starting to list down some of the repos like that:

(1) dython:This is a python data tools repo. Although this is published now and has somewhat no issues; it looks like being somewhat open-ended creative people can add a lots of other tools and functionality to this tool, make it more main streamed and therefore increase their individual and the package's overall progress.

(2)simpletransformers : This is simple transformer written by Thilina Rajapakse. This is an amazing package which uses the huggingface's transformer library and then combines its high level knowledge requirements into its intrinsic program and then tones it down as much as to a small level as sklearn packages. This, being a great package, is ridden with numbers of issues and therefore an interested contributor should be able to solve some of them and make some code correction commit as well as small functionality development to this repository.
If you are already working with nlp and transformers; know the transformers library really well, then you are already in advantage to work on this repo. Head to the link and start solving some of the issues today!

(3)pyGAM : This is pygam written by daniel serven martin (spelling maybe wrong). This is a package for implementing GAM model in python; being a alternative for the mgcv package in R written by simon wood. This package is really good, elaborate and contains complex coding exercises. But pygam, being the interesting package it can be, has yet a lot of road to progress to become at par with mgcv. So people who are interested in statistical programming, can definitely try and contribute to such a complex repository.

(4)scikit-tda: This is scikit_tda, built for topological data analysis. This is intended for non-topologist people. Being a bit math heavy and topology "infested", topological data analysis is a bit hard to start with. This library sort of tries to solve that issue. With the 4 membered team, this is a growing and interesting repository. But I still don't know what are the requirements for contributing to core code, although some examples and documentation as well as question issue resolving can be done by interested beginners. Go to the link and try to explore the code more.

This is a small list yet I know, and will develop as I find growing and amazing repos like the ones I noted here.

20 Must-Know Math Puzzles for Data Science Interviews: Test Your Problem-Solving Skills

Introduction:   When preparing for a data science interview, brushing up on your coding and statistical knowledge is crucial—but math puzzles also play a significant role. Many interviewers use puzzles to assess how candidates approach complex problems, test their logical reasoning, and gauge their problem-solving efficiency. These puzzles are often designed to test not only your knowledge of math but also your ability to think critically and creatively. Here, we've compiled 20 challenging yet exciting math puzzles to help you prepare for data science interviews. We’ll walk you through each puzzle, followed by an explanation of the solution. 1. The Missing Dollar Puzzle Puzzle: Three friends check into a hotel room that costs $30. They each contribute $10. Later, the hotel realizes there was an error and the room actually costs $25. The hotel gives $5 back to the bellboy to return to the friends, but the bellboy, being dishonest, pockets $2 and gives $1 back to each friend. No...

GAM model : PyGAM package details Analysis and possible issue resolving

Introduction:                  picture credit to peter laurinec. I have been studying about PyGAM package for last couple of days. Now, I am planning to thoroughly analyze the code of PyGAM package with necessary description of GAM model and sources whenever necessary. This is going to be a long post and very much technical in nature. Pre-requisites: For understanding the coding part of PyGAM package, first you have to learn what is a GAM model. GAM stands for generalized additive model, i.e. it is a type of statistical modeling where a target variable Y is roughly represented by additive combination of set of different functions. In formula it can be written as: g(E[Y]) = f 1 (x 1 ) + f 2 (x 2 ) + f 3 (x 3 ,x 4 )+...etc where g is called a link function and f are different types of functions. In technical terms, in GAM model, theoretically expectation of the link transformed target variable is assume...

Pyarabic: python package for Arabic language

 Introduction:  In languages which are non-english and non-european as well, NLP work has progressed slowly in the last few decades because of the lesser number of scholars working on them as well as a lack of global interest in them. But now the time has changed and people from all over the world are collaborating on these lesser explored libraries and they are building resources for working on these languages with the same ease with that of english.  Pyarabic is a package created from such a similar effort which deals with the intricate details of the arabic language and helps processing all kinds of arabic texts. While trying to learn it, being from a non-arab background, I couldn't read lots of parts of the main readthedocs site and had to work my around it. So in this blog post, I will summarize my learnings in english language, so that you can learn it and use the package with much more ease than me. [Credit where credit is due: this article heavily uses the ac...
