🏷️ Labels: Clustering, Job Application, JSON, Error Handling, Python
📂 Project: Dev
⭐ Priority: MEDIUM

Session Goal

The session aimed to explore advanced clustering techniques and prepare a professional response for a job application.

Key Activities

• Clustering Techniques: Instructions were provided on saving and loading hierarchical linkage matrices using scipy.cluster.hierarchy.linkage, with examples in NumPy and CSV formats. Further discussion involved the use of fcluster with fixed distance thresholds and alternative methods like maxclust, distance percentiles, HDBSCAN, and leaf ordering for variable cluster sizes.
• Job Application Strategy: A professional response template for a job application as an AI Engineer was crafted, including salary expectations and availability.
• JSON Handling: A guide was outlined for mastering JSON in data workflows, covering parsing, serialization, validation, debugging, and integration.
• Error Handling: Addressed a TypeError in the tokenization process by providing code snippets for data sanitization and strategies to prevent future errors.

Achievements

• Developed a comprehensive understanding of hierarchical clustering techniques and their applications.
• Created a professional job application response template.
• Formulated a detailed plan for handling JSON in data workflows.
• Resolved a TypeError in the tokenization process, enhancing data processing reliability.

Pending Tasks

• Further exploration of HDBSCAN and leaf ordering techniques for clustering.
• Implementation of JSON handling strategies in real-world projects.
