Splitting Datasets With scikit-learn and train_test_split()

One of the key aspects of supervised machine learning is model evaluation and validation. When you evaluate the predictive performance of your model, it’s essential that the process be unbiased. Using train_test_split() from the data science library scikit-learn, you can split your dataset into subsets that minimize the potential for bias in your evaluation and validation process. In this course, you’ll learn: Why you need to split your dataset in supervised machine learning Which subsets of the dataset you need […]

Using Python Optional Arguments When Defining Functions

In this section, you’ll learn how to define a function that takes an optional argument. Functions with optional arguments offer more flexibility in how you can use them. You can call the function with or without the argument, and if there is no argument in the function call, then a default value is used. Default Values Assigned to Input Parameters You can modify the function add_item() so that the parameter quantity has a default value: # optional_params.py shopping_list = {} […]

Exploring the Python math Module

In this course, you’ll learn all about Python’s math module. Mathematical calculations are an essential part of most Python development. Whether you’re working on a scientific project, a financial application, or any other type of programming endeavor, you just can’t escape the need for math. For straightforward mathematical calculations in Python, you can use the built-in mathematical operators, such as addition (+), subtraction (-), division (/), and multiplication (*). But more advanced operations, such as exponential, logarithmic, trigonometric, or power […]

Python’s deque: Implement Efficient Queues and Stacks

If you often work with lists in Python, then you probably know that they don’t perform fast enough when you need to pop and append items on their left end. Python’s collections module provides a class called deque that’s specially designed to provide fast and memory-efficient ways to append and pop item from both ends of the underlying data structure. Python’s deque is a low-level and highly optimized double-ended queue that’s useful for implementing elegant, efficient, and Pythonic queues and […]

Beginner’s Guide To Text Classification Using PyCaret

Introduction Have you ever solved a Machine Learning problem in just one go? Solving a problem using machine learning isn’t straightforward. It involves various steps to come up with an accurate solution. The process/steps to be followed for solving an ml problem is known as ML Pipeline/ML Cycle. ML Pipeline/ ML Cycle (Credits: https://medium.com/analytics-vidhya/machine-learning-development-life-cycle-dfe88c44222e) As shown in the figure, the Machine Learning pipeline consists of different steps like: Understand Problem Statement, Hypothesis Generation, Exploratory Data Analysis, Data Preprocessing, Feature Engineering, […]

Reading and Writing Files With Pandas

Pandas is a powerful and flexible Python package that allows you to work with labeled and time series data. It also provides statistics methods, enables plotting, and more. One crucial feature of Pandas is its ability to write and read Excel, CSV, and many other types of files. Functions like the Pandas read_csv() method enable you to work with files effectively. You can use them to save the data and labels from Pandas objects to a file and load them […]

Predict the next word of your text using Long Short Term Memory (LSTM)

This article was published as a part of the Data Science Blogathon Introduction: https://sm.mashable.com/t/mashable_in/photo/default/shutterstock-1208129407_trm5.960.jpg Natural language processing has been an area of research and used widely in different applications. We often love texting each other and find that whenever we try to type a text a suggestion poops up trying to predict the next word we want to write. This process of prediction is one of the applications NLP deals with. We have made huge progress here and we can use […]

If no, then you’re a Human. 🙂 I know it’s a difficult task for us to understand binary code just like computers because binary code is a Machine Understandable Language. Likewise, even computers don’t understand human language. So, how to make computers understand human language? The answer is Natural Language Processing. With the help of NLP, we can teach computers […]
