A question I get asked a lot is: What is the best programming language for machine learning? I’ve replied to this question many times now it’s about time to explore this further in a blog post. Ultimately, the programming language you use for machine learning should consider your own requirements and predilections. No one can meaningfully address […]
This is a guest post by Igor Shvartser, a clever young student I have been coaching. This post is part 3 in a 3 part series on modeling the famous Pima Indians Diabetes dataset that will investigate improvements to the classification accuracy and present final results (update: download from here). In Part 1 we defined the problem […]
This is a guest post by Igor Shvartser, a clever young student I have been coaching. This post is part 2 in a 3 part series on modeling the famous Pima Indians Diabetes dataset (update: download from here). In Part 1 we defined the problem and looked at the dataset, describing observations from the patterns we […]
This is a guest post by Igor Shvartser, a clever young student I have been coaching. This post is part 1 in a 3 part series on modeling the famous Pima Indians Diabetes dataset that will introduce the problem and the data. Part 2 will investigate feature selection and spot checking algorithms and Part 3 in […]
Once you have found and tuned a viable model of your problem it is time to make use of that model. You may need to revisit your why and remind yourself what form you need a solution for the problem you are solving. The problem is not addressed until you do something with the results. […]
This was a really hard post to write because I want it to be really valuable. I sat down with a blank page and asked the really hard question of what are the very best libraries, courses, papers and books I would recommend to an absolute beginner in the field of Machine Learning. I really […]
You’re interested in Machine Learning and maybe you dabble in it a little. If you talk about Machine Learning with a friend or colleague one day, you run the risk of someone actually asking you: “So, what is machine learning?“ The goal of this post is to give you a few definitions to think about […]
Hello, my name is Jason Brownlee, PhD. I’m a father, husband, professional developer, and machine learning practitioner. I have a Masters and PhD degree in Artificial Intelligence and I’ve worked on machine learning systems for defense, startups, and severe weather forecasting. I started this community for two main reasons: 1) Because I find machine learning […]
