SQLite Database Table Creation:

Using VSCode and SQLite3 Editor, create a table in your SQLite database to store your collection data. Define the columns in your table to represent the attributes of the collection items. You might create a table named collections with columns like id, name, description, etc.

Collections

This is the Database of Images genorated by the model

From VSCode model, show your unique code that was created to initialize table and create test data. See Code Below Code initializes three users, two default ones as requested by teacher, and an admin account for personal use.

This is the code for the model with a function called initEasyImage that adds 2 images as Meta data as seen in the picture above.

Explanation of the Code

Importing Necessary Modules:
- The code starts by importing the required modules:
  - `Column`, `Integer`, `String`, `Text`, and `LargeBinary` from SQLAlchemy for defining database columns.
  - `IntegrityError` from SQLAlchemy.exc to handle integrity errors.
  - `instances` from instanceslib for handling file instancess.
  - `app` and `db` from `__init__` for accessing the Flask app and SQLAlchemy database instance.

Defining the Images Table:
- The `Images` class is defined, which represents the database table for storing image data.
- It inherits from `db.Model`, which is a base class provided by SQLAlchemy for database models.
- The `__tablename__` attribute specifies the table name in the database.
- Columns are defined for various attributes of an image:
  - `id`: Primary key of the table.
  - `_xCoord`, `_yCoord`, `_difficulty`: Integer columns for storing the x-coordinate, y-coordinate, and difficulty level of the image.
  - `imageData`: Text column for storing image data.
  - `imageinstances`: Text column for storing the instances to the image file.

Initializing Image Objects:
- The `__init__` method is defined to initialize an image object with its instances and optional image data.

Lists and Dictionaries

Blog Python API code and use of List and Dictionaries.

In VSCode using Debugger, show a list as extracted from database as Python objects. GET request is sent to backend to search for all public designs. Backend fetches all public designs into a list in python debugger called design_return (red line). List contains all designs as python objects (red line).

list as python objects

In Python, a list is a versatile and mutable collection of items. Here’s what you need to know about lists as Python objects:

Mutable: Lists are mutable, meaning they can be modified after they are created. You can add, remove, or change elements in a list. Ordered: Lists maintain the order of elements. The order in which elements are added to the list is preserved, and you can access elements by their index. Heterogeneous Elements: Lists can contain elements of different data types, such as integers, floats, strings, or even other lists. Dynamic Sizing: Lists in Python are dynamic in size, meaning they can grow or shrink as needed. You can add or remove elements without specifying the size beforehand.

Dictionary Keys

In Python, a dictionary is a data structure that stores a collection of key-value pairs. Each key in a dictionary must be unique, and it is used to access its corresponding value. Here’s a breakdown:

Key: A key is an immutable (unchangeable) data type such as a string, integer, float, or tuple. It serves as an identifier or label for the corresponding value in the dictionary. Keys must be unique within a dictionary, meaning that no two keys can be the same. Value: A value is associated with a key in a dictionary. It can be of any data type, including strings, numbers, lists, tuples, dictionaries, or even functions. Key-Value Pair: A key-value pair consists of a key and its corresponding value in the dictionary. It’s essentially a mapping between the key and its associated value.

API + Json

Blog Python API code and use of Postman to request and respond with JSON.

In VSCode, show Python API code definition for request and response using GET, POST, UPDATE methods. Discuss algorithmic condition used to direct request to appropriate Python method based on request method. Within the code shown above, the API contains several CRUDs, such as a CRUD for modifying users and one for modifying Designs. A resource is then added to the API under the appropriate link. When a request is sent to the link, the appropriate function is called according to the type of request send.

images_bp = Blueprint("images", __name__, url_prefix='/api/images')
images_api = Api(images_bp)

# Add resources outside the class definition
images_api.add_resource(ImagesAPI, '/')
images_api.add_resource(PostImagesAPI, '/upload')

In VSCode, show algorithmic conditions used to validate data on a POST condition. Algorithmic conditions ensure that inputted data is valid. The following two conditions are part of the user creation code. They ensure that the password is secure by ensuring that it is longer than a certain length, and ensure that a Name and password exists.

            # Extract base64 encoded string and image name from JSON data
            base64_string = json_data["base64_string"]
            name = json_data["name"]

This code consists of two Flask-RESTful resource classes: ImagesAPI and PostImagesAPI.

The ImagesAPI class handles GET requests to retrieve image data from the database. It queries all image records, encodes the image data to base64 format, and returns the image path and encoded image data in JSON format.
The PostImagesAPI class handles POST requests to upload images. It expects JSON data containing a base64 encoded string representing the image data and the name of the image. It decodes the base64 string, saves the image to the database, and returns a success message if the image is saved successfully. If the request is invalid, it returns an error message. ‘’’

### `ImagesAPI` Class:
- This class defines a Flask-RESTful resource for handling GET requests related to images.
- The `get` method retrieves all image records from the database using `Images.query.all()`.
- It then iterates over each image record, checking if the `imageData` attribute is not None.
- If `imageData` is not None, it converts the binary image data to a base64 encoded string and appends it to a list along with the image instances.
- If `imageData` is None, it appends an error message to the list indicating that image data was not found.
- Finally, it returns the list of image data as a JSON array.

### `PostImagesAPI` Class:
- This class defines a Flask-RESTful resource for handling POST requests to upload images.
- The `post` method receives JSON data containing a base64 encoded string representing the image data and the name of the image.
- It decodes the base64 string to binary image data and creates a new `Images` object with the provided data.
- The new image object is added to the database session and committed to save the image to the database.
- It returns a JSON response indicating whether the image was saved.

This JavaScript code retrieves a JWT token from cookies and uses it to authenticate a GET request to a backend server’s endpoint (apiUrl) to fetch image data. Upon successful authentication, it processes the received JSON data to dynamically generate a gallery of images, displaying a specified number of images per page with pagination. Each image can be clicked to enlarge it in a lightbox, and there’s an option to download the enlarged image. The pagination functionality allows users to navigate through multiple pages of images. Additionally, it includes error handling to manage cases where token validation fails or the fetch request encounters an error, and it provides a function to extract cookies and another to close the lightbox when a close button is clicked.

The try and catch blocks in JavaScript are used for error handling, allowing developers to gracefully handle runtime errors that may occur during the execution of code.

try: The try block contains the code that may potentially throw an error. It is used to encapsulate the risky code that needs error handling. When an error occurs within the try block, the execution of code inside the block is immediately halted, and the control is transferred to the corresponding catch block.
catch: The catch block is used to handle the error thrown by the code within the try block. If an error occurs in the try block, JavaScript will jump to the catch block to handle the error. Inside the catch block, developers can define custom error handling logic, such as logging the error message, displaying an error message to the user, or taking corrective actions.

Example:

try {
  // Risky code that may throw an error
  const result = 10 / 0; // This will throw a division by zero error
  console.log('Result:', result); // This line will not be executed
} catch (error) {
  // Handle the error
  console.error('An error occurred:', error.message); // Output: "An error occurred: Division by zero"
}

```python
// This JavaScript function, `handleFiles`, is designed to handle a list of files selected by the user, typically through an HTML 
//file input element. Here's how it works:

// 1. It takes an array of `File` objects as input, representing the files selected by the user.
// 2. It iterates through each file in the array using a `for` loop.
// 3. For each file, it checks if the file type matches that of an image using the `match` method with the regular
// expression `'image.*'`.
// 4. If the file is indeed an image, it creates a new `FileReader` object to read the contents of the file asynchronously.
// 5. It sets the `onload` event handler for the `FileReader` object, which fires when the file has been successfully loaded.
// 6. Inside the `onload` event handler, it extracts the file name and the base64-encoded string representation of the image
// data from the `event.target.result`.
// 7. It then sends the base64-encoded image data along with the file name to a server endpoint using the `fetch` API with a 
//`POST` request.
// 8. It handles the server response asynchronously using promise chaining (`then` and `catch` methods):
//    - If the server responds with an HTTP status of 200 (OK), it parses the JSON response and handles the successful upload
// (e.g., logging a message and displaying an alert).
//    - If there's an error during the upload process (e.g., server error or network issue), it catches the error, logs it 
//to the console, and alerts the user about the upload failure.

// Overall, this function allows users to select image files, converts them to base64 strings, and uploads them to a server endpoint for further processing or storage.

For each file, it checks if the file type matches that of an image using the file.type.match(‘image.*’) condition. If it’s an image file, it proceeds to read the contents of the file using a FileReader. Upon successful reading of the file, it extracts the file name and converts the image data into a base64-encoded string. This base64 string, along with the file name, is then sent to the server via a POST request to the specified endpoint (http://localhost:8086/api/images/upload). The request includes the base64 string and file name in JSON format in the request body. After the upload request is made, it handles the response: if the response is successful, it logs the response data and displays an alert indicating successful upload; if there’s an error in the upload process, it logs the error and displays an alert indicating upload failure. This function provides a convenient way to upload images to the server asynchronously.

In the ML projects, there is a great deal of algorithm analysis. Think about preparing data and predictions.

Show algorithms and preparation of data for analysis. This includes cleaning, encoding, and one-hot encoding. Below code demonstrates data cleaning in titanic ML project Garbage In, Garbage Out, if bad data is fed in bad data will come out therefore we need to clean data and remove bad datapoint Encoding: data may come in different forms, i.e. 1, male, female, we need to turn these all into numbers so that model can function, model functions only with numbers, does not work well with other data types.

def _clean(self):
        # Drop unnecessary columns
        self.titanic_data.drop(['alive', 'who', 'adult_male', 'class', 'embark_town', 'deck'], axis=1, inplace=True)

        # Convert boolean columns to integers
        self.titanic_data['sex'] = self.titanic_data['sex'].apply(lambda x: 1 if x == 'male' else 0)
        self.titanic_data['alone'] = self.titanic_data['alone'].apply(lambda x: 1 if x == True else 0)

        # Drop rows with missing 'embarked' values before one-hot encoding
        self.titanic_data.dropna(subset=['embarked'], inplace=True)
        
        # One-hot encode 'embarked' column
        onehot = self.encoder.fit_transform(self.titanic_data[['embarked']]).toarray()
        cols = ['embarked_' + str(val) for val in self.encoder.categories_[0]]
        onehot_df = pd.DataFrame(onehot, columns=cols)
        self.titanic_data = pd.concat([self.titanic_data, onehot_df], axis=1)
        self.titanic_data.drop(['embarked'], axis=1, inplace=True)

        # Add the one-hot encoded 'embarked' features to the features list
        self.features.extend(cols)
        
        # Drop rows with missing values
        self.titanic_data.dropna(inplace=True)

Show algorithms and preparation for predictions. Functions below use decision tree classifier and linear regression to train model First function trains model, second one transforms inputted dataset to a data frame array, and then runs a prediction using the previously trained model

def _train(self):
    # split the data into features and target
    X = self.titanic_data[self.features]
    y = self.titanic_data[self.target]
    
    # perform train-test split
    self.model = LogisticRegression(max_iter=1000)
    
    # train the logistic regression model
    self.model.fit(X, y)
    
    # train a decision tree classifier
    self.dt = DecisionTreeClassifier()
    self.dt.fit(X, y)

def predict(self, passenger):
    # clean the passenger data
    
    # Create a DataFrame with the passenger data
    passenger_df = pd.DataFrame(passenger, index=[0])
    
    # Convert 'sex' column to binary (1 for male, 0 for female)
    passenger_df['sex'] = passenger_df['sex'].apply(lambda x: 1 if x == 'male' else 0)
    
    # Convert 'alone' column to binary (1 if passenger is alone, 0 otherwise)
    passenger_df['alone'] = passenger_df['alone'].apply(lambda x: 1 if x == True else 0)
    
    # Perform one-hot encoding for 'embarked' column
    onehot = self.encoder.transform(passenger_df[['embarked']]).toarray()
    cols = ['embarked_' + str(val) for val in self.encoder.categories_[0]]
    onehot_df = pd.DataFrame(onehot, columns=cols)
    passenger_df = pd.concat([passenger_df, onehot_df], axis=1)
    
    # Drop unnecessary columns ('embarked', 'name')
    passenger_df.drop(['embarked', 'name'], axis=1, inplace=True)
    
    # Predict the survival probability using logistic regression model
    die, survive = np.squeeze(self.model.predict_proba(passenger_df))
    
    # Return the survival probabilities as a dictionary
    return {'die': die, 'survive': survive}

Key Concepts in Regression:

Dependent Variable (Outcome):
- The dependent variable (often denoted as (Y)) is the variable we want to predict or explain. It’s the outcome of interest in our analysis. For example, in housing prices prediction, the price of the house might be the dependent variable.
Independent Variables (Predictors):
- Independent variables (often denoted as (X)) are the variables that we believe may have an influence on the dependent variable. These are the factors we use to predict or explain variations in the outcome. In the housing prices example, independent variables might include features like square footage, number of bedrooms, location, etc.
Regression Equation:
- The regression equation represents the relationship between the independent variables and the dependent variable. It’s expressed mathematically as: [ Y = \beta_0 + \beta_1X_1 + \beta_2X_2 + … + \beta_nX_n + \epsilon ]
  - (Y) is the dependent variable.
  - (X_1, X_2, …, X_n) are the independent variables.
  - (\beta_0, \beta_1, \beta_2, …, \beta_n) are the coefficients (parameters) representing the strength and direction of the relationship between the variables.
  - (\epsilon) is the error term, representing the difference between the observed and predicted values.
Assumptions:
- Regression models are based on several assumptions, including linearity, independence of errors, homoscedasticity (constant variance of errors), and normally distributed errors. Violations of these assumptions can affect the validity and reliability of the regression results.
Estimation of Parameters:
- The goal of regression analysis is to estimate the parameters ((\beta) coefficients) of the regression equation that best fit the data. This is typically done using techniques like Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) for linear regression, which minimizes the sum of squared differences between observed and predicted values.
Interpretation of Coefficients:
- The coefficients ((\beta) parameters) in the regression equation represent the change in the dependent variable for a one-unit change in the corresponding independent variable, holding other variables constant. Positive coefficients indicate a positive relationship, while negative coefficients indicate a negative relationship.
Prediction:
- Once the regression model is fitted, it can be used to make predictions on new or unseen data. By inputting values of the independent variables into the regression equation, we can obtain predicted values for the dependent variable.
Model Evaluation:
- Regression models need to be evaluated to assess their predictive accuracy and goodness of fit. This involves examining measures such as R-squared (for explaining the proportion of variance in the dependent variable), residual analysis (to check for the randomness of errors), and hypothesis testing on coefficients.

In essence, regression analysis provides a framework for quantifying relationships between variables, making predictions, and understanding the underlying patterns in data. It’s a versatile tool used in various fields such as economics, finance, social sciences, and more, to analyze and interpret complex relationships in data.

Discuss concepts and understanding of Decision Tree analysis algorithms. Decision tree involves terminal nodes, or inputs Decision tree has decision nodes that make decisions based upon terminal nodes and inputs. These nodes make another output based upon inputs and send it out. All nodes eventually converge into a root node that has final decision of tree

Key Concepts in Decision Trees:

Decision Tree Structure:
- A decision tree is a hierarchical structure consisting of nodes that represent decision points and branches that represent possible outcomes or instancess. At each decision node, a decision is made based on the value of a particular feature.
Root Node:
- The top node of the decision tree is called the root node. It represents the entire dataset and is divided into two or more child nodes based on the value of a selected feature.
Decision Nodes:
- Decision nodes are internal nodes of the tree where decisions are made based on the values of features. Each decision node represents a specific feature and a corresponding decision rule.
Leaf Nodes:
- Leaf nodes are terminal nodes of the tree where the final outcome or prediction is made. Each leaf node represents a class label or a numerical value (depending on the type of problem) assigned to the observation that reaches that node.
Splitting Criteria:
- Splitting criteria determine how the decision tree algorithm chooses the best feature to split the data at each decision node. Common splitting criteria include Gini impurity, entropy, and information gain, which aim to maximize the homogeneity (or purity) of the resulting subsets.
Pruning:
- Pruning is a technique used to prevent overfitting in decision trees by removing nodes that do not significantly improve the performance of the tree on unseen data. It helps simplify the tree structure and improve its generalization ability.
Tree Depth:
- The depth of a decision tree refers to the length of the longest instances from the root node to a leaf node. Deeper trees may capture more complex patterns in the data but are also more prone to overfitting.
Classification vs. Regression Trees:
- Decision trees can be used for both classification and regression tasks. In classification trees, the leaf nodes represent class labels, while in regression trees, the leaf nodes represent numerical values.
Interpretability:
- One of the key advantages of decision trees is their interpretability. The decision rules learned by the tree can be easily understood and visualized, making them useful for explaining and communicating insights from the data.
Ensemble Methods:
- Decision trees are often used as building blocks in ensemble learning methods such as Random Forest and Gradient Boosting, where multiple decision trees are combined to improve predictive performance.

Decision trees provide a flexible and intuitive approach to predictive modeling, suitable for a wide range of applications in fields such as machine learning, data mining, and pattern recognition.
