As the tools for integrating AI into everyday productivity workflows become more refined and accessible, a new term for people using these tools has become increasingly common: the citizen data scientist. A citizen data scientist is someone who can now do much of the work of what a bona fide data scientist did just a few years ago, including being equipped with basic skills and conceptual knowledge to effectively approach data-related questions and integrate established tools like Excel with the power of AI. In this course, instructor Chris Hui covers the AI frameworks needed to optimize prompt retrievals from GPT-4 LLMs, as well as hands-on practical deployment workflows combining Excel with Power Query, Python, and Copilot. Are you ready to augment your capabilities as an AI-powered citizen data scientist?
Learning objectives
- Differentiate between the roles and workflows of a traditional data scientist and a citizen data scientist, and understand how large language models (LLMs) and AI assistants like Copilot can augment and streamline the citizen data scientist workflow.
- Apply agentic workflows and prompting frameworks, such as the COSTAR framework, to effectively leverage AI assistants like Copilot for data analysis tasks, enabling chain-of-thought prompting and reflection.
- Utilize Power Query and Python for data ingestion, preparation, and transformation, including numerical and categorical data cleansing, and integrate Power Query and Python data pipelines within Excel workbooks.
- Automate numerical analysis and exploratory data analysis (EDA) in Excel by leveraging the Analyze Data Pane and integrating Python scripts, enabling streamlined and efficient data exploration.
- Integrate outputs from LLMs into Excel workbooks, leveraging the capabilities of AI assistants to enhance and enhance data analysis workflows in the Excel environment.
