Imran Ahmad has been a part of cutting-edge research about algorithms and machine learning for many years. He completed his PhD in 2010, in which he proposed a new linear programming-based algorithm that can be used to optimally assign resources in a large-scale cloud computing environment. In 2017, Imran developed a real-time analytics framework named StreamSensing. He has since authored multiple research papers that use StreamSensing to process multimedia data for various machine learning algorithms. Imran is currently working at Advanced Analytics Solution Center (A2SC) at the Canadian Federal Government as a data scientist. He is using machine learning algorithms for critical use cases. Imran is a visiting professor at Carleton University, Ottawa. He has also been teaching for Google and Learning Tree for the last few years.

Python packages

Python is a general-purpose language. It follows the philosophy of “batteries included,” which means that there is a standard library that is available, without making the user download separate packages.

The official third-party repository for Python packages is called PyPI, which stands for Python Package Index. It hosts Python packages both as source distribution and pre-compiled code. Currently, there are more than 113,000 Python packages hosted at PyPI. The easiest way to install additional packages is through the pip package management system. pip is a nerdy recursive acronym, which are abundant in Python culture. pip stands for Pip Installs Python. The good news is that starting from version 3.4 of Python, pip is installed by default. To check the version of pip, you...
