Using NLP and ML to Analyze Legislative Burdens Upon Businesses

Blogs from ODSC Speakers Featured Post Machine Learning NLP/Text Analytics East 2019 Machine Learning NLPposted by Serena Peruzzo April 11, 2019

The process of legal reasoning and decision making is heavily reliant on information stored in text. Tasks like due diligence, contract review, and legal discovery, that are traditionally time-consuming, can be automated, saving a huge amount of time. This makes the development of approaches that leverage... Read more

Why Do Tree Ensembles Work?

Guest contributor Machine Learning Modeling Statistics Machine Learning Statisticsposted by Joe Ross April 10, 2019

Ensembles of decision trees (e.g., the random forest and AdaBoost algorithms) are powerful and well-known methods of classification and regression. We will survey work aimed at understanding the statistical properties of decision tree ensembles, with the goal of explaining why they work. An elementary probabilistic motivation... Read more
