Fundamentals of Data Mining

Data Science 101

This data alone does not make any sense unless it’s identified to be related in some pattern. Data mining is the process of discovering these patterns among the data and is therefore also known as Knowledge Discovery from Data (KDD). Machine learning provides the technical basis for data mining.

KDD 2020 Opens Call for Papers

Data Science 101

This weeks guest post comes from KDD (Knowledge Discovery and Data Mining). Every year they host an excellent and influential conference focusing on many areas of data science. Honestly, KDD has been promoting data science way before data science was even cool. 1989 to be exact. The details are below.

How Do Super Rookies Start Learning Data Analysis?

FineReport

For super rookies, the first task is to understand what data analysis is. Data analysis is a type of knowledge discovery that gains insights from data and drives business decisions. One is how to gain insights from the data. Data is cold and can’t speak. From Google. There are two points here.

Using Empirical Bayes to approximate posteriors for large "black box" estimators

The Unofficial Google Data Science Blog

by OMKAR MURALIDHARAN Many machine learning applications have some kind of regression at their core, so understanding large-scale regression systems is important. But most common machine learning methods don’t give posteriors, and many don’t have explicit probability models. For more on ad CTR estimation, refer to [2].

Explaining black-box models using attribute importance, PDPs, and LIME

Domino Data Lab

The interest in interpretation of machine learning has been rapidly accelerating in the last decade. This can be attributed to the popularity that machine learning algorithms, and more specifically deep learning, has been gaining in various domains.
