Sponsored Post Me, a data scientist, and Jupyter notebooks. Well, our relationship started back then when I began to learn Python. Jupyter notebooks were my refuge when I wanted to make sure that my code works. Nowadays, I teach coding and do several data science projects and still, notebooks are the best tools for interactive […]
Serialization refers to the process of converting a data object (e.g., Python objects, Tensorflow models) into a format that allows us to store or transmit the data and then recreate the object when needed using the reverse process of deserialization. There are different formats for the serialization of data, such as JSON, XML, HDF5, and […]
Working on a machine learning project means we need to experiment. Having a way to configure your script easily will help you move faster. In Python, we have a way to adapt the code from a command line. In this tutorial, we are going to see how we can leverage the command line arguments to […]
When we work on a machine learning project, we quite often need to experiment with multiple alternatives. Some features in Python allow us to try out different options without much effort. In this tutorial, we are going to see some tips to make our experiments faster. After finishing this tutorial, you will learn: How to […]
Python is a duck typing language. It means the data types of variables can change as long as the syntax is compatible. Python is also a dynamic programming language. Meaning we can change the program while it runs, including defining new functions and the scope of the name resolution. These give us not only a […]
The source code of a program should be readable to humans. Making it run correctly is only half of its purpose. Without a properly commenting code, it would be difficult for one, including the future you, to understand the rationale and intent behind the code. It would also make the code impossible to maintain. In […]
Python is an awesome programming language! It is one of the most popular languages for developing AI and machine learning applications. With a very easy-to-learn syntax, Python has some special features that distinguish it from other languages. In this tutorial, we’ll talk about some unique attributes of the Python programming language. After completing this tutorial, […]
In all programming exercises, it is difficult to go far and deep without a handy debugger. The built-in debugger, pdb, in Python is a mature and capable one that can help us a lot if you know how to use it. In this tutorial, we are going to see what the pdb can do for […]
Anomaly detection is to find data points that deviate from the norm. In other words, those are the points that do not follow expected patterns. Outliers and exceptions are terms used to describe unusual data. Anomaly detection is important in a variety of fields because it gives valuable and actionable insights. An abnormality in an […]
Running your Python scripts is an important step in the development process because it is in this manner that you’ll get to find out if your code works as you intended it to. Also, it is often the case that we would need to pass information to the Python script for it to function. In […]
