报告摘要：Data scientists have been complaining about data preparation (data collection → data understanding → data cleaning → data enrichment → data integration → feature engineering) for many years. Although some efforts have been devoted to solving this problem, a recent survey released by Anaconda in 2020 shows that it is still the case that "Data preparation and cleansing takes valuable time away from real data science work and has a negative impact on overall job satisfaction." Most recently, Andrew Ng urged the AI community to shift from Model-Centric toward Data-Centric AI development.
In this talk, I will start by answering two fundamental questions: i) what makes data preparation hard? ii) why has this problem not been solved? Then, I will present DataPrep, a low-code data preparation system to address these challenges. DataPrep currently contains three components: a data connector component to simplify and accelerate data collection, an exploratory data analysis (EDA) component to enable fast data understanding, and a data cleaning component to clean and standardize data. I will describe their novel design and demonstrate how they can significantly save data scientists' time. In the end, I will share some lessons and experience that I learned about open-source software development.
