Dr. Irina Smirnova-Pinchukova
After my PhD in Astronomy @ Max Planck Institute for Astronomy in Heidelberg, I have switched from academia to industry. Working as a Data Scientist @ DSC GmbH I am developing in python for various projects including those involving language models. I am attending PyData meetings in Heidelberg and even presented a lightning talk on my "Croshapes" hobby project.
Session
As a data scientist, I value the power of insightful visualizations to unlock unique interpretations of complex data. In my talk, I will introduce an elegant mathematical framework called Formal Concept Analysis (FCA), developed in the 1980s in Darmstadt.
FCA transforms binary data into concepts that can be visualized as a hierarchical graph, offering a fresh perspective on multidimensional data analysis. Leveraging this theory and its open-source Python libraries, I am developing an interactive Dash-based tool featuring interactive tables and graphs to explore data insights.
To illustrate its potential, I will showcase an optimization of the entire tariffing system of an energy provider company, highlighting how FCA can bring structure and clarity to even such tangled datasets.
