Build a Data Helper Class in Python for ML Pipelines
A beginner-friendly Python class that summarizes, filters, and exports ML dataset rows as JSON.
from typing import List, Dict, Any
import json
class DataHelper:
"""Beginner-friendly helpers for ML data pipelines."""
def __init__(self, data: List[Dict[str, Any]]):
self.data = data
self.keys = list(data[0].keys()) if data else []
def summary(self) -> Dict[str, Any]:

How to mock an artifact store with local paths in Python for ML pipelines
Create a temporary local artifact store with dummy files and metadata to test ML pipeline code without real storage.
import tempfile
from pathlib import Path
import json
def create_artifact_store_mock(base_path: Path = None):
"""Create a local artifact store mock directory structure."""
if base_path is None:
base_path = Path(tempfile.mkdtemp())
store_layout = {

One Hot Encode Categories in Python
Convert a list of categorical strings into one-hot encoded numeric vectors using pure Python and NumPy.
import numpy as np
categories = ["red", "green", "blue", "red", "blue", "green", "red"]
unique = sorted(set(categories))
lookup = {cat: i for i, cat in enumerate(unique)}
one_hot = []
for cat in categories:
row = [0] * len(unique)
row[lookup[cat]] = 1
one_hot.append(row)
print("Categories:", categories…
