Reading and Writing Lists to a File in Python

As serialized data structures, Python programmers intensively use arrays, lists, and dictionaries. Storing these data structures persistently requires either a file or a database to work with. This article describes how to write a list to file, and how to read that list back into memory. To write data in a file, and to read data from a file, the Python programming language offers the standard methods write() and read() for dealing with a single line, as well as writelines() […]

Basic Socket Programming in Python

In general, network services follow the traditional client/server model. One computer acts as a server to provide a certain service and another computer represents the client side which makes use of this service. In order to communicate over the network a network socket comes into play, mostly only referred to as a socket. This kind of socket communication can even be used internally in a computer for inter-process communication (IPC). This article explains how to write a simple client/server application […]

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 […]

Local and Global Variables in Python

One of the basic elements of programming languages are variables. Simply speaking a variable is an abstraction layer for the memory cells that contain the actual value. For us, as a developer, it is easier to remember the name of the memory cell than it is to remember its physical memory address. A valid name can consist of characters from ‘a’ to ‘z’ (in both lower and upper cases) as well as digits. No spaces or special characters, like umlauts […]

Implementing PCA in Python with Scikit-Learn

With the availability of high performance CPUs and GPUs, it is pretty much possible to solve every regression, classification, clustering and other related problems using machine learning and deep learning models. However, there are still various factors that cause performance bottlenecks while developing such models. Large number of features in the dataset is one of the factors that affect both the training time as well as accuracy of machine learning models. You have different options to deal with huge number […]

Implementing LDA in Python with Scikit-Learn

In our previous article Implementing PCA in Python with Scikit-Learn, we studied how we can reduce dimensionality of the feature set using PCA. In this article we will study another very important dimensionality reduction technique: linear discriminant analysis (or LDA). But first let’s briefly discuss how PCA and LDA differ from each other. PCA vs LDA: What’s the Difference? Both PCA and LDA are linear transformation techniques. However, PCA is an unsupervised while LDA is a supervised dimensionality reduction technique. […]

Introduction to the Python Coding Style

Python as a scripting language is quite simple and compact. Compared to other languages, you only have a relatively low number of keywords to internalize in order to write proper Python code. Furthermore, both simplicity as well as readability of the code are preferred, which is what Python prides itself on. In order to achieve both goals, it is helpful that you follow the language’s specific guidelines. This article focuses on the guidelines mentioned above to write valid code that […]

Course Review: Python for Data Science and Machine Learning Bootcamp

Before we get started it would be helpful to know what data science and machine learning actually are. So in case you don’t know, here are some basic definitions: Data science is an interdisciplinary field of scientific methods, processes, algorithms and systems to extract knowledge or insights from data in various forms, either structured or unstructured Machine learning is a field of computer science that often uses statistical techniques to give computers the ability to “learn” with data, without being […]
