🕒 15:40–16:15
🏷️ Labels: Jupyter Notebooks, Data Analysis, Workflow, File Management, Bash Commands
📂 Project: Dev
⭐ Priority: MEDIUM

Session Goal:

The session aimed to analyze and enhance the understanding of data workflows within Jupyter notebooks, focusing on empirical analysis and file management.

Key Activities:

• Empirical Data Analysis: Reviewed the use of ‘empirical’ in Jupyter notebooks to understand its significance in statistical analysis and visualization.
• Bash Command Utilization: Explored the ls -l command for detailed file information and sorted files by modification time to analyze work patterns.
• File Modification Analysis: Conducted an analysis of work eras based on file modification times, identifying shifts in research focus.
• Directory Structuring: Proposed a structured directory organization for project files to enhance manageability.
• Jupyter Notebook Workflow: Used grep commands to analyze data workflows, excluding checkpoint files for cleaner results.
• Data Processing Workflow: Outlined high-level workflows for data processing in Python notebooks, including data import, analysis, and export.
• Data Export Methods: Summarized common data export and plot saving methods in Jupyter notebooks.
• Proposed Workflow Structure: Suggested a general workflow structure for data projects using Graphviz dot language.
• Notebook Management: Developed efficient prompts for summarizing Jupyter notebook content.

Achievements:

• Enhanced understanding of empirical data workflows and file management practices.
• Developed a structured directory plan and workflow structure for data projects.

Pending Tasks:

• Implement the proposed directory structure and workflow in ongoing projects.
• Further refine the prompts for notebook analysis to improve clarity and efficiency.
