Spatial thinking with Python

[Sangarshanan]

Title

Spatial thinking and location intelligence

Description

Data can take many forms, It could be a text an image or maybe it is a bunch of coordinates. Though computer vision and natural language processing have hit it off spatial data science doesn’t get the attention it deserves. Spatial data has both social and industrial impact. Spatial data is useful in agriculture and for observing weather patterns to predict natural disasters. It is also very important for industries that deal with logistics and supply chain management. So in this talk I would like to focus on spatial data and how effective use of location intelligence can add immense value
