🕒 21:30–22:15
🏷️ Labels: Data Processing, Feature Engineering, Python, Web Scraping, Product Taxonomy
📂 Project: Dev
⭐ Priority: MEDIUM
Session Goal
The session aimed to develop and enhance data processing pipelines for managing and analyzing product data efficiently.
Key Activities
- Scripts for Merging Data Files: Implemented Python scripts to merge price, product, and store data files, ensuring outputs are saved in the correct directories.
- Disk Usage Monitoring: Utilized the
du
command to check disk usage, ensuring efficient storage management. - Web Scraping Limits: Applied limits on the number of stores per chain in the
PreciosClarosSpider
class to optimize web scraping. - Product Data Challenges: Addressed challenges in managing product data using techniques like text normalization, fuzzy matching, and clustering.
- Product Taxonomy and Feature Engineering: Developed a product taxonomy and implemented KNN for product comparison, focusing on feature engineering and data preparation.
- Data Processing and Analysis Pipeline: Outlined a comprehensive plan for data processing, including feature engineering, data preparation, and statistical analysis.
Achievements
- Successfully merged data files and monitored disk usage.
- Optimized web scraping processes.
- Developed strategies for product data management and taxonomy development.
Pending Tasks
- Continue refining feature engineering techniques.
- Further evaluate and test the data processing pipeline.
