There are two types of supervised machine learning algorithms: Regression and classification. The former predicts continuous value outputs while the latter predicts discrete outputs. For instance, predicting the price of a house in dollars is a regression problem whereas predicting whether a tumor is malignant
In an earlier article I gave you an introduction into phonetic algorithms, and shows their variety. In more detail we had a look at the edit distance, which is also known as the Levenshtein Distance. This algorithm was developed in order to calculate the number
The K-nearest neighbors (KNN) algorithm is a type of supervised machine learning algorithms. KNN is extremely easy to implement in its most basic form, and yet performs quite complex classification tasks. It is a lazy learning algorithm since it doesn’t have a specialized training phase.
Imagine if you could have computer programs that wrote your code for you. It is possible, but the machines will not write all your code for you! This technique, called metaprogramming, is popular with code framework developers. This is how you get code generation and
To work with stored data, file handling belongs to the core knowledge of every professional Python programmer. Right from its earliest release, both reading and writing data to files are built-in Python features. In comparison to other programming languages like C or Java it is
Introduction A decision tree is one of most frequently and widely used supervised machine learning algorithms that can perform both regression and classification tasks. The intuition behind the decision tree algorithm is simple, yet also very powerful. For each attribute in the dataset, the decision
As pointed out in a previous article that deals with reading data from files, file handling belongs to the essential knowledge of every professional Python programmer. This feature is a core part of the Python language, and no extra module needs to be loaded to
RESTful API with Flask Welcome to the fourth post on using Vue.js and Flask for full-stack web development. The focus of this post will be on building a backend REST API using the Python based Flask web framework. The code for this post is in
This article continues with our series on interacting with the file system in Python. The previous articles dealt with reading and writing files. Interestingly, the file system is much more than a way to store/retrieve data to disk. There are also various other types of
AJAX Integration with REST API Thanks for joining me for the fifth post on using Vue.js and Flask for full-stack web development. This post will be fairly short, but highly valuable as I will be demonstrating how to connect the front-end and back-end applications using
