Streamlining Dataset Analysis with ChatGPT

When working with large datasets or those with numerous features, one of the first hurdles is determining if the data is relevant to your research. To address this challenge, I built a quick Python script that leverages ChatGPT for streamlined dataset analysis.

Key Features:

File Compatibility

  • Reads .csv and .xlsx files.
  • Automatically extracts file headers and previews the first 10 rows.

AI-Powered Insights

  • Sends a sample of the dataset to ChatGPT for analysis.
  • Generates a concise summary of the dataset’s structure and contents.

Documentation

  • Outputs results, including file headers, sample data, and AI-generated insights, to a Word document for easy sharing.

Ease of Use

  • Built with modular functions for simplicity and scalability.
  • Designed to handle datasets with minimal setup—just provide your OpenAI API key.

Why I Built It:

While exploring autism-related datasets for my doctoral research, I often needed a quick way to assess whether a dataset aligned with my objectives. This script bridges the gap between raw data and actionable insights, saving time and effort. It’s particularly useful when dealing with large datasets where manually sifting through features and rows isn’t practical.

It took less than 15 minutes to write and debug, making it an efficient tool to create. However, it does require a paid account through ChatGPT to function effectively.

Why It’s Useful:

This tool helps researchers, educators, and analysts quickly identify a dataset’s relevance and structure. Its ability to export results into a Word document makes it perfect for reporting and collaboration, turning raw data into actionable insights with minimal effort.
