Adding Common Sense to Machine Learning with TensorFlow Lattice

The Unofficial Google Data Science Blog

On the one hand, basic statistical models (e.g. On the other hand, sophisticated machine learning models are flexible in their form but not easy to control. Introduction Machine learning models often behave unpredictably, as data scientists would be the first to tell you.

Software commodities are eating interesting data science work

Data Science and Beyond

When I started my PhD in 2009, the plan was to work on sentiment analysis of opinion polls. This got me into applied machine learning using Java and Weka , with which I made some modest contributions to the field. I learned about Bayesian statistics and conjugate priors. Read this post to find out.

Credit Card Fraud Detection using XGBoost, SMOTE, and threshold moving

Domino Data Lab

In this article, we’ll discuss the challenge organizations face around fraud detection, how machine learning can be used to identify and spot anomalies that the human eye might not catch. In contrast, the decision tree classifies observations based on attribute splits learned from the statistical properties of the training data.

Fitting Support Vector Machines via Quadratic Programming

Domino Data Lab

The intuition here is that a decision boundary that leaves a wider margin between the classes generalises better, which leads us to the key property of support vector machines — they construct a hyperplane in a such a way that the margin of separation between the two classes is maximised (Haykin, 2009).
