Application of coordinate geometry in geospatial search algorithms

[kriti-sc]

• Abstract (2-3 lines) Gartner’s definition of Big Data, circa 2001 (which is still the go-to definition): Big data is data that contains greater variety arriving in increasing volumes and with ever-higher velocity. In the 20 years since then, the volume, velocity and variety of data has only increased. One such variety is Customer data, which is used for optimized targetting. This mostly consists of information about the location of your customers. So how does one go about efficiently analysing these huge datasets consisting of location data?

• Brief Description and Contents to be covered How does geospatial indexing work? *Topics being covered:

  • What are indices and why we need them
  • Geospatial Index - Rtree
  • The logic behind Rtrees

• Pre-requisites for the talk Grade 10 level coordinate geometry

• Time required for the talk 20 minutes

• Link to slides https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/17vx1KALPmyRRLU1L_poDbu-bkQ_fzs4NLA0Z5qN4JbU/edit?usp=sharing

• Will you be doing hands-on demo as well? No

• Link to ipython notebook (if any)

• About yourself I build tools that help data teams do their lives' best work. Currently, I'm building robust ETL tools for Grid@Atlan. I'm passionate about large scale distributed systems.

• Are you comfortable if the talk is recorded and uploaded to PyData Delhi's YouTube channel ? No

• Any query ?

@kriti-sc Thanks for proposing the talk. The topic is quite interesting. Could you please add the slides as well :)

[MSanKeys963]

Slight reminder @kriti-sc.

[kriti-sc]

I profusely apologize for this delay. Will add by Sunday 17 Nov. I have the material ready, just need to put it into slides

[MSanKeys963]

Would you like to deliver this in our upcoming meetup? https://www.meetup.com/PyDataDelhi/events/266436797/

[kriti-sc]

Yes I would like that. Can I do a lightning talk?

[MSanKeys963]

Hi @kriti-sc. Can you please update here? Gotta update the agenda.

Hey @kriti-sc . Thanks for adding the slides. It seems the some of the slides are missing. Could you please check once.

[kriti-sc]

I have updated the slides @shagunsodhani

[shagunsodhani]

Thanks @kriti-sc I would suggest adding some more content to the slides so that it is useful for people when they go back home and read the slides again. Best of luck for the talk :)
