@Elena_Kosourova ,
Wow! This is so awesome of you all here. I am beginning to feel the i’s being dotted and the t’s being crossed.
Thank you for this amazing recognition and a pat-on-the-back reward. Splendid!
Thank you so much. Being part of the Dataquest community is such a humbling and encouraging experience.
P.S, when posting my project, I forgot to give credit to a fellow community member who inspired me on how to rank schools. Unfortunately, his name has slipped out of my mind.
@Ezemonye_Omereji, @m.awon, you’re very welcome! Happy to hear that you’re enjoying our Community! Looking forward to seeing your new outstanding projects, reviews, and just posts in the Community!
Here are our numerous Community Champions for this week:
Dataquest Project sharers:
@m.awon shared another of his amazing projects, on Star Wars Survey, which is a must-read for its superb, clean and insightful visualizations, multi-faceted and profound data analysis, easy-to-follow code, smooth and involving narrative, and cool cover picture.
@brucemcminn shared his Power BI dashboard on 200 Years of GDP & Life Expectancy where he clearly tells the story of a long evolution of GDP and life expectancy globally and in different countries/groups of countries by means of compelling plots. Also, great attention to detail about the missing decade!
The project of @cayodey on Analysis of The Prison Break Helicopter Escapes, despite being his first one, is perfectly structured, gives the necessary background of the problem, clearly states the project goals, provides informative conclusions and explanations of all the observations, and supports the findings graphically.
Finally, I would like to shout out our amazing superwoman Community Moderator @Rucha who, in less than 1 week, successfully solved 4 questions, gave helpful feedback on 2 projects, and maintained fruitful discussions with other Dataquesters. Rucha, you’re on fire!
Thanks Elena, for these recognitions as we are learning and developing skills together. A wise man once said-“Brains, like hearts, go where they are appreciated.”
DQ has been so kind to me. The knowledge and support I’ve got from this platform are priceless. Thank you for your continuous encouragement. It has been such a great experience to be part of this community.
The project of @abomayesan on Building a spam filter using Multinomial Naive Bayes demonstrates perfect project structure, thorough explanations, interesting conclusions, and providing suggestions for further improvements of the algorithm’s accuracy. Moreover, @abomayesan tested his filter algorithm on real-world private data!
In his project on Hacker News Project, @OlutokiJohn applied helpful Python libraries rather than pure Python, visualized his findings, efficiently used text emphasis, and pretty-printed outputs. Also, John took into account the feedback that he received from his reviewers.
