Image by Author | Midjourney & Canva Introduction Choosing the right machine learning model for your data is of major importance in any data science project. The model you select will have a significant impact on the insights you derive from your data, and ultimately determine the usefulness of a project. In this article, we aim to provide practical tips to help new practitioners make informed decisions when choosing machine learning models. 1. Understand Your Data Understanding the type and […]

Image by Author Introduction Here’s a something that new machine learning practitioners figure out almost immediately: not all datasets are created equal. It may now seem obvious to you, but had you considered this before undertaking machine learning projects on a real world dataset? As an example of a single class vastly outnumbering the rest, take for instance some rare disease, which only 1% of the population has. Would a predictive model that only ever predicts “no disease” still be […]

Image by Author If you are a machine learning student, researcher, or practitioner, it is crucial for your career growth to have a deep understanding of how each algorithm works and the various techniques to enhance model performance. Nowadays, many individuals tend to focus solely on the code, data, and pre-trained models, often without fully comprehending the machine learning model’s algorithm or architecture. They simply fine-tune the model on a new dataset and adjust hyperparameters to improve performance. However, to […]

Image by Author Reinforcement learning (RL) is a subfield of machine learning where an agent learns to make decisions by interacting with its environment rather than relying solely on pre-existing data. It is an area that blends trial-and-error learning with feedback from actions to improve future performance. In this blog, we will explore 5 free courses that I believe are the best for beginners and professionals interested in entering the exciting field of self-learning robots. 1. Deep RL Course – […]

If you want to become proficient in deep learning, you should first understand how neural networks work and then proceed to explore the different types and neural network architectures for specific tasks. To help you get started, we’ve compiled a list of free resources—a mix of books, interactive tutorials, and video lectures—that’ll help you learn all about neural networks. The resources are […]

Image by Author Collaborating on a machine learning project is a bit different from collaborating on a traditional software project. In a machine learning project, engineers are working with data, models, and source code. Additionally, they are also sharing features, model experiment results, and pipelines. You can’t just use any code-sharing platform for a machine learning project; you need to select a platform that lets you share code, resolve issues seamlessly, maintain lineage, handle data and models, provide experiment tracking […]

Image created with ChatGPT and Canva After completing a course and mastering the essentials of machine learning, it is time to start building machine learning models using real-world datasets. While accessing most real-world datasets can be expensive, platforms like Kaggle offer access to the latest datasets for free on a wide variety of machine learning tasks. In this blog, we will explore 5 free datasets that you can use to build a strong machine learning portfolio. By using these datasets, […]

Image by Author A loss function in machine learning is a mathematical formula that calculates the difference between the predicted output and the actual output of the model. The loss function is then used to slightly change the model weights and then check whether it has improved the model’s performance. The goal of machine learning algorithms is to minimize the loss function in order to make accurate predictions. In this blog, we will learn about the 5 most commonly used […]
