Step by step guide to building sentiment analysis model using graphlab

I have been using graph lab for quite some time now. The first Kaggle competition I used it for was Click Trough Rate (CTR) and I was amazed to see the speed at which it can crunch such big data. Over last few months, I have realised much broader applications of GraphLab. In this article I will take up the text mining capability of GraphLab and solve one of the Kaggle problems. I will be referring to this problem with […]

Implementing SVM and Kernel SVM with Python’s Scikit-Learn

A support vector machine (SVM) is a type of supervised machine learning classification algorithm. SVMs were introduced initially in 1960s and were later refined in 1990s. However, it is only now that they are becoming extremely popular, owing to their ability to achieve brilliant results. SVMs are implemented in a unique way when compared to other machine learning algorithms. In this article we’ll see what support vector machines algorithms are, the brief theory behind support vector machine and their implementation […]
