Build a Deep Understanding of Machine Learning Tools Using Small Targeted Projects

Last Updated on June 7, 2016 Once you have chosen a machine learning tool you need to improve your skill in using it. Machine learning tools have a large number of features. Having a recipe for using a feature is not the same as deeply knowing how to use the feature, its limitations or its capabilities. Also, once you build skills in a machine learning tool you need to be able to demonstrate that you know how to use it […]

Extend Machine Learning Tools and Demonstrate Mastery

Last Updated on June 7, 2016 After you have been using a tool for a while, you will develop a specific way of working with it. You may even have deep knowledge of the limitations of the tool and how to fix them, or be frustrated by specific features that are missing. You can augment machine learning tools to formalize the way you use it, fix limitations and add new features. Augmenting tools by creating plug-ins, patches and wrappers and […]

Simple 3-Step Methodology To The Best Machine Learning Algorithm

Last Updated on August 15, 2020 How do you choose the best algorithm for your dataset? Machine learning is a problem of induction where general rules are learned from specific observed data from the domain. It infeasible (impossible?) to know what representation or what algorithm to use to best learn from the data on a specific problem before hand, without knowing the problem so well that you probably don’t need machine learning to begin with. So what algorithm should you use […]
