Unlocking the Power of Better Data Science Workflows

Smart Data Collective

The better strategy is to demarcate each data science project into four distinct phases : Phase 1: Preliminary Analysis. Phase 4: Knowledge Discovery. Algorithms can also be tested to come up with ideal outcomes and possibilities. It’s overwhelming to look at a data science project from the top down.

ML internals: Synthetic Minority Oversampling (SMOTE) Technique

Domino Data Lab

propose a different strategy where the minority class is over-sampled by generating synthetic examples. Their tests are performed using C4.5-generated This carries the risk of this modification performing worse than simpler approaches like majority under-sampling.
