Artificial intelligence (AI) research, particularly in the machine learning (ML) domain, continues to increase the amount of attention it receives worldwide. To give you an idea of the scientific hype around AI and ML, the number of works uploaded to the open-access pre-print archive ArXiv has nearly doubled since late 2023, with over 30K AI-related […]
Machine learning (ML) models are built upon data. They are like the ready-to-use artifacts resulting from making sense of a dataset to uncover patterns, make predictions, or automate decisions. Whilst visualizing data is undoubtedly important across many data science processes like exploratory analysis and feature engineering, the idea of visualizing an ML model is not […]
This article will navigate you through the deployment of a simple machine learning (ML) for regression using Streamlit. This novel platform streamlines and simplifies deploying artifacts like ML systems as Web services. A Glimpse of the Model Being Deployed The focus of this how-to article is to showcase the steps to have an ML model […]
This article provides a comprehensive step-by-step guide designed to help you navigate the challenge of optimizing your machine learning (ML) models for production, by looking at all stages in their development lifecycle, i.e. before, during, and after the process of deploying models to production. The guide is written under a model and ML technique-agnostic tone, […]
This article focuses on demystifying the difference between traditional data analytics methods vs. machine-learning-driven ones, not without providing firstly a clear understanding of what is — and what is not — data analytics compared to other data terms often used interchangeably. After gaining such understanding, the post provides clear and succinct guidelines on when to […]
Without any doubt, Large Language Models (LLMs) have emerged as one of the biggest AI breakthroughs in recent years: they excel in understanding and generating human-like text, making them versatile for a wide range of applications. Learning LLMs’ foundations and practical nuances may sound daunting to many, but this article is here to help. Keep […]
Unity makes strength. This well-known motto perfectly captures the essence of ensemble methods: one of the most powerful machine learning (ML) approaches -with permission from deep neural networks- to effectively address complex problems predicated on complex data, by combining multiple models for addressing one predictive task. This article describes three common ways to build ensemble […]
Recommender systems enhance user experiences in Internet-based applications by recommending items tailored to individual preferences or needs, such as products, services, or content. Used in various sectors including e-commerce, tourism, and entertainment, these systems stimulate user engagement, and customer loyalty, and can ultimately help increase customer satisfaction and revenue in certain domains like the retail […]
Machine learning (ML) models contain numerous adjustable settings called hyperparameters that control how they learn from data. Unlike model parameters that are learned automatically during training, hyperparameters must be carefully configured by developers to optimize model performance. These settings range from learning rates and network architectures in neural networks to tree depths in decision forests, […]
This article explains, through clear guidelines, how to choose the right machine learning (ML) algorithm or model for different types of real-world and business problems. Knowing to decide on the right ML algorithm is crucial because the success of any ML project depends on the correctness of this choice. The article starts by presenting a […]
