Create A Pipeline In Pandas

Pandas’ pipeline feature allows you to string together Python functions in order to build a pipeline of data processing.

Preliminaries

import pandas as pd

Create Dataframe

/* Create empty dataframe */
df = pd.DataFrame()

/* Create a column */
df['name'] = ['John', 'Steve', 'Sarah']
df['gender'] = ['Male', 'Male', 'Female']
df['age'] = [31, 32, 19]

/* View dataframe */
df
name gender age
0 John Male 31
1 Steve Male 32
2 Sarah Female 19

Create Functions To Process Data

/* Create a function that */
def mean_age_by_group(dataframe, col):
    /* groups the data by a column and returns the mean age per group */
    return dataframe.groupby(col).mean()
/* Create a function that */
def uppercase_column_name(dataframe):
    /* Capitalizes all the column headers */
    dataframe.columns = dataframe.columns.str.upper()
    /* And returns them */
    return dataframe

Create A Pipeline Of Those Functions

/* Create a pipeline that applies the mean_age_by_group function */
(df.pipe(mean_age_by_group, col='gender')
   .pipe(uppercase_column_name)    /* then applies the uppercase column name function */
)
AGE
gender
Female 19.0
Male 31.5

Two Machine Learning Fields

There are two sides to machine learning:

  • Practical Machine Learning:This is about querying databases, cleaning data, writing scripts to transform data and gluing algorithm and libraries together and writing custom code to squeeze reliable answers from data to satisfy difficult and ill defined questions. It’s the mess of reality.
  • Theoretical Machine Learning: This is about math and abstraction and idealized scenarios and limits and beauty and informing what is possible. It is a whole lot neater and cleaner and removed from the mess of reality.
