DS 4100 Week 8 Review

DS 4100 Weekly Review

This week we focused more on NoSQL, I was happy to learn more about different ways to store data. I was also excited to learn more about the different kinds of NoSQL store management such as key-value, graph, columnar, and document. I'm very interested in data pipelines, and I think in my project I'm going to use a graph storage system to represent my data. Either that or a document store.

I've been more and more interested in data science recently, and one of my favorite subreddits has become r/dataisbeautiful. The entire community is based around people sharing interesting data sets and visualizations. The data sets range from government data, to scientific analysis, and other random clusters. Recently someone did a study about their mouse movements. I think I'm going to do a study about the most commonly clicked keys on my keyboard. From there I'll also be able to do analysis on the most common words I type, the most common ngrams in my sentences, and more.

This week I plan to sit down and brainstorm more about what i want to do for my data science project. I think the reddit project is going to be a relatively simple project to map out on paper, and then I'll run into some other challenges in storing and visualizing my data. I also want to open it up so that anyone can use the data for their own visualizations. I bet that there are plenty of redditors who would benefit from a place to make their visualizaions.

That's all im going to write about for now, this week was short so I'm going to make a short post :P
