We cordially invite students of computer science and applied computer science degree programmes to a lecture conducting by the ERASMUS+ program entitled “Phyton in practical applications”, which will be given by Professor Peter Saloun from Palacký University in Olomouc, Czech Republic.
About lecture: Python-in practical applications (case tasks)
Think and process everyday IT tasks such as conversion of audio, video, and photo, create tag-cloud, work with maps and layers over them…
The lecture is multi-thematic and the selected topics are practically applicable. The talk presents the solution of case studies, programmed in Python programming language.
You will see how to transform audio, video and photos between their different formats in different resolutions / quality and with different compression, just like you can download them from youtube and other servers and you need them in another format or quality. You will see how to process texts in natural language (downloaded, for example, from the web), and create attractive tag-clouds and similar analyzes that will help better understand the content and categories of documents.
Lot of practical casks is connected with maps. Open street maps are freely available and Python’s packages could add layers over the maps to add geographical sensitive information there.
We invite students of computer science and applied computer science degree programmes and also all avid programmers students.
