About the Course

Data science is a "concept to unify statistics, data analysis and their related methods" to "understand and analyze actual phenomena" with data. It employs techniques and theories drawn from many fields within the broad areas of mathematics, statistics, information science, and computer science from the subdomains of machine learning, classification, cluster analysis, data mining, databases, and visualization. The Data Science Certification Training enables you to gain knowledge of the entire Life Cycle of Data Science, analyzing and visualizing different data sets, different Machine Learning Algorithms like K-Means Clustering, Decision Trees, Random Forest, and Naive Bayes. 

Who needs to attend?

The course is designed for all those who want to learn about the life cycle of Data Science, which would include acquisition of data from various sources, data wrangling and data visualization. Applying Machine Learning techniques in R language, and wish to apply these techniques on different types of Data. 

The following professionals can go for this course:

1. Developers aspiring to be a 'Data Scientist'

2. Analytics Managers who are leading a team of analysts 

3. Business Analysts who want to understand Machine Learning (ML) Techniques

4. Information Architects who want to gain expertise in Predictive Analytics

5. 'R' professionals who want to captivate and analyze Big Data

7. Analysts wanting to understand Data Science methodologies




What is this course about?

The incorporation of technology in our everyday lives has been made possible by the availability of data in enormous amounts. Data is drawn from different sectors and platforms including cell phones, social media, e-commerce sites, various surveys, internet searches, etc. 

However, the interpretation of vast amounts of unstructured data for effective decision making may prove too complex and time consuming for companies, hence, the emergence of Data Science.

Data science incorporates tools from multi disciplines to gather a data set, process and derive insights from the data set, extract meaningful data from the set, and interpret it for decision-making purposes. The disciplinary areas that make up the data science field include mining, statistics, machine learning, analytics, and some programming. Data mining applies algorithms in the complex data set to reveal patterns which are then used to extract useable and relevant data from the set. Statistical measures like predictive analytics utilize this extracted data to gauge events that are likely to happen in the future based on what the data shows happened in the past. Machine learning is an artificial intelligence tool that processes mass quantities of data that a human would be unable to process in a lifetime. Machine learning perfects the decision model presented under predictive analytics by matching the likelihood of an event happening to what actually happened at the predicted time.

CONVENE AT CENTER CITY

2001 MARKET ST, SUITE 210  |  PHILADELPHIA, PA 19103

Hear about how we’re developing targeted programs and pathways to bolster the representation and retention of black males in the classroom so that they can not only teach their students the possibilities—but show them.

Also, make meaningful connections with our network of music and entertainment leaders, social influencers, teachers, administrators, legislators, clergy members and business leaders from throughout the Greater Philadelphia area. And most importantly, share your story and let us know how you can help us make sure Philly has at least 1,000 Black male teachers by 2025. 

Our students are depending on us. All of us.

If you're inspecting more than one child safety seat or if you are bringing more than one vehicle, please select two different ticket times. (eg. 5:00 p.m. and 5:20 p.m.)

During a child safety seat check, child passenger safety technicians will teach you how to correctly transport your children and to make sure that everyone in the vehicle is buckled up on every ride. This is an educational service, not an installation service. Through this hands-on opportunity, you will learn how to properly secure your children in their child safety seats.

Car seat inspection events are free of charge. All parents and caregivers of young children are encouraged to attend. Registration for the event is required.

Please attempt to install the car seat before you arrive to your appointment.

If you have questions when filling out this form, please call 215-590-5437.

This Juneteenth come eat, drink and socialize at Reef Resturant & Lounge with young professionals from across the area.  Reef is a black owned restaurant that has been a staple on South Street for over 10 years. 

Juneteenth is the celebration of the announcement made on June 19th 1865 that the abolished  slavery in the U.S. state of Texas, and more generally the emancipation of enslaved African-Americans throughout the former Confederacy of the southern United States. Its name is a portmanteau of "June" and "nineteenth", the date of its celebration.   

Let’s celebrate this day by having a good time and supporting a local black owned business.  Thanks to Reef we will have great drink and food specials the entire evening.

Sounds by DJ Eddie Limo and you never know what DJs will stop through.  

See You Tuesday

How do typographic form and the spatial considerations of a page play in...

How do typographic form and the spatial considerations of a page play into a reader’s comprehension? Historically, artists and writers in the first two decades of the twentieth century experimented irreverently with letterform, exaggerating graphic elements through eccentric sizing and placement, varied orientation of lines on a page, and collaging small images. In many ways, this experimentation threatened the presumed authority of the literary text, blurring the demarcation between advertising and high arts practices in the conceptual space of the book.

Using “Typographic Manipulation of the Poetic Text” by scholar Johanna Drucker as a central essay of our discussion, we can proceed to trace Drucker’s arguments and further them with our own critiques regarding the hierarchy of “relations among aesthetic principles, linguistic meaning, political strategies, and visual representation”—using Dada and Futurist typography evidenced via F.T. Marinetti, Guillaume Apollinaire, Tristan Tzara, Wyndham Lewis, and Ilia Zdanevich from 1909 to 1923.

It's that time for the next SPACE SUPPER CLUB! Space Supper Club is an excuse to get together, share a meal and friendly conversation outside of the work environment. The first dinner was a total great time and we hope you are able to join for this one. It's quick notice, the dinner is next week so check those calendars and get your ticket quick. The seats are very limited for this dinner. As always, feel free to bring a plus one, friend, partner, or another colleague. The intent is to expand our own communites. 


This event will be hosted at the very new, very popular, very hard to get a table at, SURAYA. The food is outstanding and we will enjoy a family style meal together filled with their most popular dishes. Expect some great variety and a perfect chance to sample the fabulous menu. (They have been made aware of possible gluten allergies)

This time we will be doing things a bit differently, on eventbrite you will actually pay for your seat. This will go towards the meal. The price fix for the family style is $52, so with tax and gratutity the tickets are $65. This does not include drinks so be sure to bring cash if you plan on drinking something other then water and/or want to throw some more money at the tip or extra dishes. We are trying it this way because we need a solid count for the restaurant and can't have a bunch of no-show people. 

Any questions, let me know...otherwise, SNAG YOUR SEAT!

It can be overwhelming realizing how many toxins we inhale, ingest, and absorb throughout the day - even from products we think are safe or good for us. But when it comes to detoxifying your body, home, and life, where do you even start?

Essential oils enthusiast and owner of The Common Room Chelsey Eiel invites you to join her in demystifying essential oils, and optimizing the natural and bountiful health benefits of plant-based juice. Participants in the workshop will sample a variety of oils, try a shot of NingXia Red whole-body supplement, and take home EO blended mists! AND, with eligible purchases, you can take home FREE diffuser bracelet and necklace from Staylow Jewelry!

This event is BYO ~ Registration required.
