Machine learning model selection and configuration may be the biggest challenge in applied machine learning. Controlled experiments must be performed in order to discover what works best for a given classification or regression predictive modeling task. This can feel overwhelming given the large number of data preparation schemes, learning algorithms, and model hyperparameters … [Read more...] about Combined Algorithm Selection and Hyperparameter Optimization (CASH Optimization)

What are we really talking about when we talk about AI?The term “Artificial Intelligence” is coined shortly after World War II during the 1956 Dartmouth Conference. John McCarthy persuaded other attendees (amongst Marvin Minsky, Claude Shannon, etc.) to accept AI as the name for this promising field.(Anecodotes: Claude Shannon again? He is just everywhere. And Marvin Minsky? … [Read more...] about What is AI?

IndexingStrings can be considered as a collection of characters. They do not have to be words or meaningful textual data. For instance, “foo123” is a valid string.Indexing or slicing on strings is a highly practical operations in data manipulation. We can extract any part of strings by providing the indices. Both pandas and tidyverse provide functions to extract part of strings … [Read more...] about Pandas vs Tidyverse on Textual Data

What are [artificial] neural networks?The status quo for explaining neural networks or artificial neural network (this is what they are formally referred to in the scientific literature) is to start by showing how they resemble the neurons in the biological brain. Since I like that explanation, and I believe it’s inspiring I will stick to it.To begin with, the biological brain … [Read more...] about Neural Networks

We have 8 indicators that we want to turn into just one technical indicator. For simplicity, we will give each indicator an equal weight of 12.5%. The way we will do this is normalizing the indicators that need normalization, multiplying them later by 12.5% (their weight), and finally, adding the pieces together. Here is a quick summary of what we will do:The Relative Strength … [Read more...] about Combining Technical Indicators Into One. The Global Technical Index in Python.

Eve pulled her coat tighter around her and walked quickly from the car park towards the tall monolithic building that covered several acres of prime land just outside of the city walls. The … [Read more...] about Goodnight Eve
