Predicting Movie Genres using NLP – An Awesome Introduction to Multi-Label Classification

Introduction I was intrigued going through this amazing article on building a multi-label image classification model last week. The data scientist in me started exploring possibilities of transforming this idea into a Natural Language Processing (NLP) problem. That article showcases computer vision techniques to predict a movie’s genre. So I had to find a way to convert that problem statement into text-based data. Now, most NLP tutorials look at solving single-label classification challenges (when there’s only one label per observation). […]

Sentiment Analysis of Twitter Posts on Chennai Floods using Python

Introduction The best way to learn data science is to do data science. No second thought about it! One of the ways, I do this is continuously look for interesting work done by other community members. Once I understand the project, I do / improve the project on my own. Honestly, I can’t think of a better way to learn data science. As part of my search, I came across a study on sentiment analysis of Chennai Floods on Analytics Vidhya. […]

A Simple Introduction to Sequence to Sequence Models

Overview In this article, I would give you an overview of sequence to sequence models which became quite popular for different tasks like machine translation, video captioning, image captioning, question answering, etc. Prerequisites: The reader should already be familiar with neural networks and, in particular, recurrent neural networks (RNNs). In addition, knowledge of LSTM or GRU models is preferable. If you are not familiar with LSTM I would prefer you to read LSTM- Long Short-Term Memory.
