High Perfomance Pandas: Leveraging the power of pandas data manipulation.

Abstract

Pandas is a powerful data handling library, however, it is very common to waste its true potential when it seems to have a poor performance compared to basic data structures. This talk will show you how to exploit full power of pandas to make your day to day easier.

Description

Pandas is an standard data handling library commonly misused, however, this powerful library includes a set of APIs created for high speed data manipulation hidden to most of people. This talk will show how to use pandas properly, performance benchmarks against basic data structures and provide a deeper understanding of pandas data handling. This talk aims to help making data analysis work easier and cleaner by exploiting the full power of pandas.

The talk agenda is Common misuses of pandas ~10 mins, the power of pandas ~5 mins, unkown pandas APIs ~15, benchmarks ~5 mins.
