Mathematical Notation for Python Developers (Part 1)

Introduction

As a self-taught developer, I struggled most of the time reading whitepapers, or going through data science courses that contain incredible amounts of mathematical jargon (mostly weird and magic symbols).

This tutorial is going to be focused on translating mathematical notation to Python.

Using Cloudera Data Science Workbench With Apache NiFi

Using Deployed Models as a Function as a Service

Using Cloudera Data Science Workbench with Apache NiFi, we can easily call functions within our deployed models from Apache NiFi as part of flows. I am working against CDSW on HDP, but it will work for all CDSW regardless of install type.

In my simple example, I built a Python model that uses TextBlob to run sentiment against a passed sentence. It returns Sentiment Polarity and Subjectivity, which we can immediately act upon in our flow.
