Organizational Processes for Machine Learning Risk Management

Machine Learning Modelingposted by Parul Pandey November 9, 2023

In our ongoing series on Machine Learning Risk Management, we’ve embarked on a journey to unravel the critical elements that ensure the trustworthiness of Machine Learning (ML) systems. In our first installment, we delved into “Cultural Competencies for Machine Learning Risk Management,” exploring the human dimensions... Read more

RAG vs Finetuning — Which is the Best Tool to Boost Your LLM Application?

Modeling NLP/Text Analyticsposted by ODSC Community November 8, 2023

As the wave of interest in Large Language Models (LLMs) surges, many developers and organisations are busy building applications harnessing their power. However, when the pre-trained LLMs out of the box don’t perform as expected or hoped, the question on how to improve the performance of... Read more

Conditional Probability and Bayes’ Theorem Simply Explained

Modelingposted by ODSC Community November 7, 2023

Conditional probability and Bayes’ theorem are fundamental ideas in statistics that even laymen have heard of. Bayes’ theorem also gives rise to a separate branch of statistics, namely Bayesian inference. In Data Science we mainly deal and work in a Frequentist world and so we are, in my opinion,...

Evaluating Clustering in Machine Learning

Machine Learning Modelingposted by ODSC Community November 6, 2023

Clustering has always been one of those topics that garnered my attention. Especially when I was first getting into the whole sphere of machine learning, unsupervised clustering always carried an allure with it for me. To put it simply, clustering is rather like the unsung knight... Read more

Python Timestamp: Converting and Formatting Essentials for Beginners

Modelingposted by Dario Radečić November 3, 2023

Do you know what’s the number one thing Junior and Senior Developers have in common? They both don’t know how to work with dates without referencing the manual. It’s just one thing that’s too difficult to remember for some reason. Well, not anymore! Python Timestamp plays... Read more

Data Engineering vs Machine Learning Pipelines

Machine Learning Modelingposted by ODSC Community November 2, 2023

Data engineering and machine learning pipelines are both very different but oddly can feel very similar. Many ML engineers I have talked to in the past rely on tools like Airflow to deploy their batch models. So I wanted to discuss the difference between data engineering... Read more

How to Build a 5-Layer Data Stack

Modelingposted by ODSC Community November 1, 2023

Like bean dip and ogres, layers are the building blocks of the modern data stack. Its powerful selection of tooling components combine to create a single synchronized and extensible data platform with each layer serving a unique function of the data pipeline. Unlike ogres, however, the cloud... Read more

How to Add Domain-Specific Knowledge to an LLM Based on Your Data

Modeling NLP/Text Analyticsposted by ODSC Community October 31, 2023

In recent months, Large Language Models (LLMs) have profoundly changed the way we work and interact with technology, and have proven to be helpful tools in various domains, serving as writing assistants, code generators, and even creative collaborators. Their ability to understand context, generate human-like text,... Read more

Top 10 Errors in R and How to Fix Them

Modelingposted by Antoine Soetewey October 30, 2023

If you are just starting with R, you will often encounter errors in your code which prevent it to run. I remember when I was just starting to use R, errors in my code were so frequent that I almost gave up learning this programming language.... Read more
