Data Wrangling Project - Beer Dataset

Covid-19 The first dataset which comes into one’s mind in today’s time, is very important but we are already looking at its analysis on the news like 10 times a day. Which made me think in the opposite direction and seek datasets which can be challenging as well as fun at the same time to display my skills gained in R. It reminded me of last year’s spring break, me and my friends took a road trip South. Towards Virginia, North Carolina to enjoy the best nature had to offer i.e. “The Smoky Mountains”. And taste different varieties of beer we could come across. During this trip we would stop to seek out famous local breweries and try different varieties of beer they had to offer. The process would always be to seek out breweries, in the area we were in, via the internet or through recommendation by locals; and learn about their types of beers, ratings and so on before visiting the place out. Now thinking back to those times I wanted to take a data Scientist approach to the same questions and seek answers using beer data sets.

Who is doing what?

As we all know, one of the biggest evolution of 21st Century is Social Media. It has gradually infiltrated our daily lifestyles. Be it Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, etc. People will find their friends, family or a complete strangers to connect and share their experiences with. This has given people the freedom, to express themselves to much wider audience than ever before in the history of Mankind. Social Media has bestowed us with a platform where people from different cultural backgrounds can socialize and be the part of Globally Acknowledged Citizen Movement. Who’s doing what and what should we do to be the part of the trend is the question which is chasing us for centuries? We answer these question by predicting trending topics on one of the biggest social network “Twitter”.

Recommendation System

People are looking for recommendations all the time. Be it, which movie to watch next or which book to read or which song to listen and so on. In todays world, technology has given us recommendation systems which provides users with personalized recommendation such as Netflix for Movies, Spotify for music, etc. So I learnt to build one of my own, this recommendation system recommends Anime to the user, its based on the Kaggle Competition data set and uses User-User based Collaborative filtering to recommend Ainme’s.
