What's Cooking

Exploratory Data Analysis of the Kaggle's "What's cooking" competition dataset to get understanding what kind of data we are dealing with and get intuition of existing dependencies.

In this post I will explore the dataset relate to Kaggle's competition "What's cooking? to get understanding what kind of data we are dealing with. Getting know your data helps to clean-up the data in preprocessing in order to prepare dataset for classification.

How the different cuisines are represented in dataset?¶

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

plt.style.use("fivethirtyeight")

In [18]:

df_train["cuisine"].value_counts().plot(kind="barh", figsize=(8, 6));

What are the most common ingredients?¶

In [19]:

from collections import Counter

In [20]:

    counters[cuisine] = Counter()
    indices = df_train["cuisine"] == cuisine
    for ingredients in df_train[indices]["ingredients"]:
        counters[cuisine].update(ingredients)

What are the most used ingredients in different cuisines?¶
