Code Readability and PEP 8  Always aim for clean and readable code by following PEP 8 guidelines.  Use meaningful variable names, avoid excessively long lines (stick to 79 characters), and organize imports properly. 2. Use List Comprehensions List comprehensions are concise and often faster than regular for-loops. Example: squares = [x**2 for x in range(10)] instead of creating an empty list and appending each square value. 3. Take Advantage of Python’s Built-in Libraries  Libraries like itertools, collections, math, and datetime provide powerful functions and data structures that can simplify your code.   For example, collections.Counter can quickly count elements in a list, and itertools.chain can flatten nested lists. 4. Use enumerate Instead of Range     When you need both the index ...

Hyderabad Based Startup Built Largest Ever Big data Electoral Repository

I was gone through an email from my friend saying that they are creating a Hadoop project to analyze voters data. This project in my view is both academic and research oriented.

The real challenge was extraction of voter info from 2.5 crore PDF pages and translation of the same into English to fuse with other sources. The technology was a big hurdle. 

Hadoop Project

The infrastructure, built especially for the project, included 64 node Hadoop, PostgreSQL and servers that process a master file containing over 8 Terabytes of Data.

Besides, Testing and Validation was another big task. ‘First of a Kind’ Heuristic (machine learning) algorithms were developed for people classification based on name, geography etc., which help in the identification of religion, caste, and even ethnicity.

Data from Sources

“Data from multiple sources like census, economic and social surveys were mapped to polling booths. Simultaneously, external and propriety data sources had to be fused with individual voters’ data,” informed Joshi.
