22 tips for better data science

@machinelearnbot

The growth of data science over the last two years: 300% - A few websites catering to analytics and data science professionals have experienced tremendous growth recently. Organizations such as INFORMS or AMSTAT have seen their traffic explode, targeting high school students to join the ranks of data scientists. Niche publishers providing high quality, actionable content - and run by true data scientists rather than journalists - have also seen spectacular growth. Start with Good Science on Good Data, Then we'll Talk'Big Data' - Although there is indeed much potential in applying machine learning and statistical analysis to large datasets, many companies are hardly sitting on the kind of data that will allow them to compete using hundreds of machines chugging through terabytes of data.

Bayesian Machine Learning in Python: A/B Testing

@machinelearnbot

I am a data scientist, big data engineer, and full stack software engineer. For my masters thesis I worked on brain-computer interfaces using machine learning. These assist non-verbal and non-mobile persons communicate with their family and caregivers. I have worked in online advertising and digital media as both a data scientist and big data engineer, and built various high-throughput web services around said data. I've created new big data pipelines using Hadoop/Pig/MapReduce. I've created machine learning models to predict click-through rate, news feed recommender systems using linear regression, Bayesian Bandits, and collaborative filtering and validated the results using A/B testing.

Google and Elon Musk open their AI platforms to researchers

Engadget

Artificial intelligence got a big push today as both Google and OpenAI announced plans to open-source their deep learning code. Elon Musk's OpenAI released Universe, a software platform that "lets us train a single [AI] agent on any task a human can complete with a computer." At the same time, Google parent Alphabet is putting its entire DeepMind Lab training environment codebase on GitHub, helping anyone train their own AI systems. DeepMind first burrowed into the public consciousness by defeating a world champion at the notoriously difficult game Go. However, to advance deep learning further, Alphabet says that such AI "agents" require highly detailed environments to serve as laboratories for AI research.


Quant Trading using Machine Learning - Udemy

@machinelearnbot

Prerequisites: Working knowledge of Python is necessary if you want to run the source code that is provided. Basic knowledge of machine learning, especially ML classification techniques, would be helpful but it's not mandatory. Taught by a Stanford-educated, ex-Googler and an IIT, IIM - educated ex-Flipkart lead analyst. This team has decades of practical experience in quant trading, analytics and e-commerce. Completely Practical: This course has just enough theory to get you started with both Quant Trading and Machine Learning.


Regression Machine Learning with R - Udemy

@machinelearnbot

It explores main concepts from basic to expert level which can help you achieve better grades, develop your academic career, apply your knowledge at work or make business forecasting related decisions. Read data files and perform regression machine learning operations by installing related packages and running script code on RStudio IDE. Approximate ensemble methods such as random forest regression and gradient boosting machine regression to enhance decision tree regression prediction accuracy. Analyze multi-layer perceptron methods such as optimal number of hidden nodes artificial neural network. Read data files and perform regression machine learning operations by installing related packages and running script code on RStudio IDE.

Chris ** (DSC) - Strong Business Alyst and budding Data Scientist but I use that term loosely since the field is so diverse. My background is in fincial modeling but I have a lot of experience with relatiol data bases, working with large data sets, building dashboards and data visualization. I'm interested in breaking away from the spreadsheet and diving head first into R, Python and all the fasciting avenues this field has to offer. I hope to learn as much as I can and contribute what I can while becoming part of the data community.


How To Become A Learning Machine and Discover Your Genius!

#artificialintelligence

"How to Become a Super Learning Machine" is an excellent course that focuses on the practical basics of how to learn. The course teaches students about the right attitude to take when learning, the best way to absorb knowledge and how to set goals and achieve them. Thanks to my experience as a teacher, I went into the course understanding most of the concepts that Joe Parys covers. However, thanks to Joe's progressive and hybrid attitude towards learning I was able to take away some new things that have already helped me in my studies. First, Joe covers the importance of surrounding yourself with positive influence.


Byte-Sized-Chunks: Decision Trees and Random Forests

@machinelearnbot

Between the four of us, we have studied at Stanford, IIM Ahmedabad, the IITs and have spent years (decades, actually) working in tech, in the Bay Area, New York, Singapore and Bangalore. We think we might have hit upon a neat way of teaching complicated tech courses in a funny, practical, engaging way, which is why we are so excited to be here on Udemy! We hope you will try our offerings, and think you'll like them:-)
