Session Goal

The session aimed to enhance data processing workflows and improve the visualization of these processes through various tools and techniques.

Key Activities

  • Developed a high-level architecture and data dictionary for software components, focusing on data flow and documentation.
  • Completed data processing in notebooks, including descriptive statistics and geospatial data handling.
  • Created detailed data flow and processing schemas for multiple notebooks, focusing on poverty metrics and synthetic populations.
  • Addressed graph rendering issues by generating workflow graphs as images for better accessibility.
  • Utilized Graphviz to create and modify workflow diagrams, improving clarity by differentiating styles for notebooks and datasets.
  • Corrected node definitions in workflow diagrams using DOT language to enhance visual representation.
  • Discussed model compatibility issues with scikit-learn versions and provided strategies for handling them.

Achievements

  • Successfully processed and documented data across multiple notebooks.
  • Generated and enhanced workflow visualizations using Graphviz, improving the clarity and accessibility of data processing workflows.
  • Identified and corrected issues in workflow diagram representations.

Pending Tasks

  • Further exploration of model versioning strategies to ensure compatibility across different scikit-learn versions.
