Techniques for Collecting, Prepping, and Plotting Data: Predicting Social Media-Influence in the NBA

Domino Data Lab

Knowing that the ultimate goal is to compare the social-media influence and power of NBA players, a great place to start is with the roster of the NBA players in the 2016–2017 season. One of the things this data set doesn’t have, however, is a single metric to rank both offensive and defensive performance in a single statistic.

Deep Learning Illustrated: Building Natural Language Processing Models

Domino Data Lab

GloVe and word2vec differ in their underlying methodology: word2vec uses predictive models, while GloVe is count based. then the model is predicting that the input x belongs to one class, whereas if it outputs anything less than 0.5, Natural Language Processing.] At the time—in 2014—the three were colleagues working.
