📅 2024-08-28 — Session: Developed Product Taxonomy and Data Processing Pipeline
🕒 21:30–22:15
🏷️ Labels: Data Processing, Product Taxonomy, Feature Engineering, Python, Web Scraping
📂 Project: Dev
⭐ Priority: MEDIUM
Session Goal
The session aimed to develop a comprehensive product taxonomy and establish a robust data processing pipeline for product comparison and analysis.
Key Activities
- Merging Data Files: Implemented Python scripts to merge price, product, and store data files, ensuring outputs are saved in the correct directories.
- Disk Usage Analysis: Utilized the
ducommand to assess disk usage across directories, optimizing storage management. - Web Scraping Optimization: Applied limits on store counts in the
PreciosClarosSpiderclass to enhance data scraping efficiency. - Product Data Management: Addressed challenges in managing product data using techniques like text normalization, fuzzy matching, and clustering.
- Product Taxonomy Development: Planned and executed strategies for developing a product taxonomy using classification techniques and KNN, focusing on feature engineering and data preparation.
Achievements
- Successfully merged diverse data files, optimizing data management.
- Enhanced web scraping processes by implementing store count limits.
- Developed a structured approach for product taxonomy and feature engineering, setting the stage for effective product comparison.
Pending Tasks
- Further refinement of the product taxonomy and feature engineering processes.
- Implementation and evaluation of the KNN model for product comparison.
