Given easy-to-use machine learning libraries like scikit-learn and Keras, it is straightforward to fit many different machine learning models on a given predictive modeling dataset. The challenge of applied machine learning, therefore, becomes how to choose among a range of different models that you can use for your problem. Naively, you might believe that model performance is sufficient, but should you consider other concerns, such as how long the model takes to train or how easy it is to explain […]

Last Updated on August 27, 2020 Are you getting different results for your machine learning algorithm? Perhaps your results differ from a tutorial and you want to understand why. Perhaps your model is making different predictions each time it is trained, even when it is trained on the same data set each time. This is to be expected and might even be a feature of the algorithm, not a bug. In this tutorial, you will discover why you can expect […]
