Evaluating Machine Learning Models - O'Reilly Media

Data science today is a lot like the Wild West: there's endless opportunity and excitement, but also a lot of chaos and confusion. If you're new to data science and applied machine learning, evaluating a machine-learning model can seem pretty overwhelming. With this O'Reilly report, machine-learning expert Alice Zheng takes you through the model evaluation basics. In this overview, Zheng first introduces the machine-learning workflow, and then dives into evaluation metrics and model selection. The latter half of the report focuses on hyperparameter tuning and A/B testing, which may benefit more seasoned machine-learning practitioners.
