A Gentle Introduction to Model Selection for Machine Learning

A Gentle Introduction to Model Selection for Machine Learning

Given easy-to-use machine learning libraries like scikit-learn and Keras, it is straightforward to fit many different machine learning models on a given predictive modeling dataset. The challenge of applied machine learning, therefore, becomes how to choose among a range of different models that you can use for your problem. Naively, you might believe that model […]

Why Applied Machine Learning Is Hard

How to Handle the Intractability of Applied Machine Learning. Applied machine learning is challenging. You must make many decisions where there is no known “right answer” for your specific problem, such as: What framing of the problem to use? What input and output data to use? What learning algorithm to use? What algorithm configuration to […]
