On the Hunt for Patterns: from Hippocrates to Supercomputers

Ontotext

These are the so-called supercomputers, led by a smart legion of researchers and practitioners in the fields of data-driven knowledge discovery. As of 2017, the fastest computers have reached a speed of 93 PetaFLOPS, which is: 93×1015, or 93,000,000,000,000,000 operations per second. Certainly not!

ML internals: Synthetic Minority Oversampling (SMOTE) Technique

Domino Data Lab

In this article we discuss why fitting models on imbalanced datasets is problematic, and how class imbalance is typically addressed. note that this variant “performs worse than plain under-sampling based on AUC” when tested on the Adult dataset (Dua & Graff, 2017). Indeed, in the original paper Chawla et al. link] Fisher, R.
