X_train, X_test, y_train, y_test = train_test_split(df.drop('target', axis=1), df['target'], test_size=0.2, random_state=42)

# Scale the data using standardization
scaler = StandardScaler()
X_train_scaled = scaler.fit_transform(X_train)
X_test_scaled = scaler.transform(X_test)

# Train a logistic regression model
model = LogisticRegression(random_state=42)
model.fit(X_train_scaled, y_train)

f1 = f1_score(y_test, y_pred)

print('Accuracy:', accuracy)
print('Precision:', precision)
print('Recall:', recall)
print('F1 score:', f1)

In this exercise, we first read a dataset into a pandas dataframe. We split the data into training and testing sets using the train_test_split function from the sklearn.model_selection module. We scale the data using standardization using the StandardScaler class from the sklearn.preprocessing module. We train a logistic regression model using the LogisticRegression class from the sklearn.linear_model module and make predictions on the test set. Finally, we evaluate the performance of the model using metrics such as accuracy, precision, recall, and F1 score using the appropriate functions from the sklearn.metrics module.

@app.route('/')
def home():
    return render_template('home.html')

# Define a route for the contact page
@app.route('/contact', methods=['GET', 'POST'])
def contact():
    if request.method == 'POST':

topic = client.topics['test']

# Create a consumer for the topic
consumer = topic.get_simple_consumer()

# Process messages in real-time
for message in consumer:
    if message is not None:
        data = json.loads(message.value)
        # TODO: Process the data in real-time

In this exercise, we first connect to a Kafka broker using the KafkaClient class from the pykafka library. We get a reference to a topic and create a consumer for the topic using the get_simple_consumer method. We process messages in real-time using a loop and the value attribute of the messages.

nltk.download('stopwords')

# Load the text corpus
with open('corpus.txt', 'r') as f:
    corpus = f.read()

# Tokenize the corpus
tokens = word_tokenize(corpus)

# Remove stop words
stop_words = set(stopwords.words('english'))
filtered_tokens = [token for token in tokens if token.lower() not in stop_words]

# Stem the tokens
stemmer = PorterStemmer()
stemmed_tokens = [stemmer.stem(token) for token in filtered_tokens]

# Print the results
print('Original tokens:', tokens[:10])
print('Filtered tokens:', filtered_tokens[:10])
print('Stemmed tokens:', stemmed_tokens[:10])

In this exercise, we first download the necessary data from the NLTK library using the nltk.download function. We load a text corpus from a file and tokenize the corpus using the word_tokenize function from the nltk.tokenize module. We remove stop words using the stopwords corpus from the NLTK library and stem the tokens using the PorterStemmer class from the nltk.stem module. Finally, we print the results for the original, filtered, and stemmed tokens.

class MyObject:
    def method1(self, arg1):
        # TODO: Implement the method
        return result1

    def method2(self, arg2):
        # TODO: Implement the method
        return result2

# Register the remote object
daemon = Pyro4.Daemon()
uri = daemon.register(MyObject)

# Start the name server
ns = Pyro4.locateNS()
ns.register('myobject', uri)

# Start the server
daemon.requestLoop()

In this exercise, we first define a remote object class using the expose decorator from the Pyro4 library. We implement two methods that can be invoked remotely by a client. We register the remote object using the register method of a Pyro4 daemon. We start the name server using the locateNS function from the Pyro4 library and register the remote object with a name. Finally, we start the server using the requestLoop method of the daemon.

fig.append_trace(trace3, 2, 1)
fig.append_trace(trace4, 2, 2)

# Set the layout
fig.update_layout(title='Financial Performance', height=600, width=800)

# Display the chart
fig.show()

In this exercise, we first load a dataset into a pandas dataframe. We create several chart objects using the ScatterBar, and Heatmap classes from the plotly.graph_objs module. We create subplots using the make_subplots function from the plotly.subplots module and add the chart objects to the subplots using the append_trace method.

from pyspark import SparkContext, SparkConf

# Configure the Spark context
conf = SparkConf().setAppName('wordcount').setMaster('local[*]')
sc = SparkContext(conf=conf)

# Load the text data
text = sc.textFile('data.txt')

# Split the text into words and count the occurrences of each word

# Define a classifier for face detection
face_cascade = cv2.CascadeClassifier('haarcascade_frontalface_default.xml')

# Detect faces in the image
faces = face_cascade.detectMultiScale(gray, scaleFactor=1.1, minNeighbors=5)

# Draw rectangles around the detected faces
for (x, y, w, h) in faces:

        if packet[TCP].flags & 2:
            print('SYN packet detected:', packet.summary())

# Start the packet sniffer
sniff(prn=packet_handler, filter='tcp', store=0)

In this exercise, we use the Scapy library to perform security analysis on a network. We define a packet handler function that is called for each packet that is sniffed.

# Define a classifier for face detection
face_cascade = cv2.CascadeClassifier('haarcascade_frontalface_default.xml')

# Detect faces in the image
faces = face_cascade.detectMultiScale(gray, scaleFactor=1.1, minNeighbors=5)

# Draw rectangles around the detected faces
for (x, y, w, h) in faces:

    elif hasattr(chunk, 'label') and chunk.label() == 'PERSON':
        print('Person:', ' '.join(c[0] for c in chunk))

In this exercise, we first load some text data. We tokenize the text using the word_tokenize function from the NLTK library. We perform part-of-speech tagging using the pos_tag function from the NLTK library. We perform named entity recognition using the ne_chunk function from the NLTK library.

            print('SYN packet detected:', packet.summary())

# Start the packet sniffer
sniff(prn=packet_handler, filter='tcp', store=0)

In this exercise, we use the Scapy library to perform security analysis on a network. We define a packet handler function that is called for each packet that is sniffed.

# Define a classifier for face detection
face_cascade = cv2.CascadeClassifier('haarcascade_frontalface_default.xml')

# Detect faces in the image
faces = face_cascade.detectMultiScale(gray, scaleFactor=1.1, minNeighbors=5)

# Draw rectangles around the detected faces
for (x, y, w, h) in faces:
    cv2.rectangle(img, (x, y), (x + w, y + h), (0, 255, 0), 2)
