How can you learn about a machine learning tool quickly? Using the right tool can mean the difference between getting good predictions quickly and a project on which you cannot deliver. You need to evaluate machine learning tools before you use them. You need to know that a machine learning tool is right for you, right […]
Machine learning tools save you time by automating aspects of a machine learning project. There are platforms that you can use to work through a machine learning project end-to-end. There are also libraries that provide capabilities for one piece of a machine learning project. Using the right machine learning tools is as important as using the right machine learning algorithms. But […]
Getting started in machine learning can be frustrating. There’s so much to learn that it feels overwhelming. So much so that many developers interested in machine learning never get started. The idea of creating models on ad hoc datasets and entering a Kaggle competition sounds exciting a far off goal. So how did a Philosophy graduate get started in machine learning? […]
Programmers learn by implementing techniques from scratch. It is a type of learning that is perhaps slower than other types of learning, but fuller in that all of the micro decisions involved become intimate. The implementation is owned from head to tail. In this post we take a close look at Joel Grus popular book […]
