If you are a Python programmer or you are looking for a robust library you can use to bring machine learning into a production system then a library that you will want to seriously consider is scikit-learn. In this post you will get an overview of the scikit-learn library and useful references of where you […]
Python is a very popular language for machine learning. The machine learning libraries and frameworks in Python (especially around the SciPy stack) are maturing quickly. They may not be as feature rich as R, but they are robust enough for small to medium scale production implementation. If you are a Python programmer looking to get […]
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 post is a spotlight interview with Jhonatan de Souza Oliveira on the topic of Bayesian Networks. Could you please introduce yourself? My name is Jhonatan Oliveira and I am an undergraduate student in Electrical Engineering at the Federal University of Vicosa, Brazil. I have been interested in Artificial Intelligence since the beginning of college, when had […]
BigML is a fresh new and interesting machine learning as a service company based out of Corvallis, Oregon, USA. In a previous post, we reviewed the BigML service, the key features and the ways in which you could use this service in your business, on you side project or to present to clients. In this […]
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 project spotlight with Shashank Singh a programmer and machine learning enthusiast. Could you please introduce yourself? I did Bachelors of Technology in Computer Science. I co-founded a startup at 23, spectacularly crashed it by 26th birthday. After that I was feeling particularly low and pretty dry of inspiration for quite some time. I […]
Machine Learning has been commoditized into a service. This is a recent trend that looks like it will develop into the mainstream like commoditized storage and virtualization. It is the natural next step. In this review you will learn about BigML that provides commoditized machine learning as a service for business analysts and application integration. […]
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 […]
This is a guest post by Kevin Dalias. I recently had the chance to attend Strata 2014 in Santa Clara, and since it was my first time at the conference, I tried to attend as many sessions as I could to understand what really makes data science tick these days. And of course, I heard plenty […]
