Machine Learning Modeling AutoML Conferences Machine Learningposted by Luke Coughlin June 14, 2019

Applying a machine learning algorithm to any number of data-related tasks can be an enormous time saver, but the variable factors associated with creating an algorithm can be daunting. One must consider a variety of design-related decisions, and the risks surrounding the creation of an accurate... Read more

Strategies for Addressing Class Imbalance

Machine Learning Modeling Python Machine Learningposted by Nathaniel Jermain June 6, 2019

Class imbalance is common in real-world datasets. For example, a dataset with examples of credit card fraud will often have exponentially more records of non-fraudulent activity than those of fraudulent cases. In many applications, training your model on imbalanced classes can inhibit model functionality if predictive... Read more

Building Your First Bayesian Model in R

Machine Learning Modeling bayesianposted by Nathaniel Jermain June 5, 2019

Bayesian models offer a method for making probabilistic predictions about the state of the world. Key advantages over a frequentist framework include the ability to incorporate prior information into the analysis, estimate missing values along with parameter values, and make statements about the probability of a...
