[CohPy] March 2020 - Understanding Probabilistic Data Structures with 112,092 UFO Sightings

This is a recap of the virtual monthly meeting held by the Central Ohio Python Users Group. Guy Royse gave a nice presentation on using Redis with Python - very helpful for data analysis.

We learned how to analyse UFO sighting reports with the bloom filter, and with Python. We also learned that Mulder and Scully’s boss was Assistant Director Walter Skinner
