Work with Data Commons, a platform providing programmatic access to public statistical data from global sources. Use this skill when working with demographic data, economic indicators, health statistics, environmental data, or any public datasets available through Data Commons. Applicable for querying population statistics, GDP figures, unemployment rates, disease prevalence, geographic entity resolution, and exploring relationships between statistical entities.
Neuropixels neural recording analysis. Load SpikeGLX/OpenEphys data, preprocess, motion correction, Kilosort4 spike sorting, quality metrics, Allen/IBL curation, AI-assisted visual analysis, for Neuropixels 1.0/2.0 extracellular electrophysiology. Use when working with neural recordings, spike sorting, extracellular electrophysiology, or when the user mentions Neuropixels, SpikeGLX, Open Ephys, Kilosort, quality metrics, or unit curation.
Fast in-memory DataFrame library for datasets that fit in RAM. Use when pandas is too slow but data still fits in memory. Lazy evaluation, parallel execution, Apache Arrow backend. Best for 1-100GB datasets, ETL pipelines, faster pandas replacement. For larger-than-RAM data use dask or vaex.
World-class data science skill for statistical modeling, experimentation, causal inference, and advanced analytics. Expertise in Python (NumPy, Pandas, Scikit-learn), R, SQL, statistical methods, A/B testing, time series, and business intelligence. Includes experiment design, feature engineering, model evaluation, and stakeholder communication. Use when designing experiments, building predictive models, performing causal analysis, or driving data-driven decisions.
Python interface to OpenMS for mass spectrometry data analysis. Use for LC-MS/MS proteomics and metabolomics workflows including file handling (mzML, mzXML, mzTab, FASTA, pepXML, protXML, mzIdentML), signal processing, feature detection, peptide identification, and quantitative analysis. Apply when working with mass spectrometry data, analyzing proteomics experiments, or processing metabolomics datasets.
Parallel/distributed computing. Scale pandas/NumPy beyond memory, parallel DataFrames/Arrays, multi-file processing, task graphs, for larger-than-RAM datasets and parallel workflows.
Visualize training metrics, debug models with histograms, compare experiments, visualize model graphs, and profile performance with TensorBoard - Google's ML visualization toolkit
