Listen Later

Researches and others using data science and software need to follow solid software engineering practices. This is a message that Joel Grus has been promoting for some time.

Joel joins the show this week to talk about data science, software engineering, and even Fizz Buzz.

Topics include:

  • Software Engineering practices and data science
  • Difficulties with Jupyter notebooks
  • Code reviews on experiment code
  • Unit tests on experiment code
  • Finding bugs before doing experiments
  • Tests for data pipelines
  • Tests for deep learning models
  • Showing researchers the value of tests by showing the bugs found that wouldn't have been found without them.
  • "Data Science from Scratch" book
    • Showing testing during teaching Data Science
    • "Ten Essays on Fizz Buzz" book
      • Meditations on Python, mathematics, science, engineerign and design
      • Testing Fizz Buzz
      • Different algorithms and solutions to an age old interview question.
      • If not Fizz Buzz, what makes a decent coding interview question.
      • pytest
      • hypothesis
      • Math requirements for data science

        • Special Guest: Joel Grus.
