Embeddings for sentence fragments harvested from a document can serve as extractive summary facets of that document and potentially accelerate its discovery, particularly when user input is a…
The cartpole problem is a prominent benchmark problem in Reinforcement Learning, its implementation on OpenAI’s Gym being the most well known. It is also the most popular on their leaderboards; which…
In 2001, Jerome H. Friedman wrote up a seminal paper — Greedy function approximation: A gradient boosting machine. Little did he know that was going to evolve into a class of methods which threatens…
The field of Machine Learning research has derived much of its dynamism from the pursuit of one ultimate goal: the quest for Artificial General Intelligence (AGI). This long-horizon objective fuels…
Yes, python is an objected oriented programming language. Everything in python is an object. Using python we can create classes and objects. Here in this tutorial, I would be discussing only classes…
Handling time stamped data is one of the most intuitively obvious use cases for data science. After all, any data we can collect necessarily must be gathered from or represent the past and we often…
Explaining evaluation metrics in basic terms
The challenge you may have when planning reading rotations is finding activities that will engage and educate students. I know I have spent hours trying to
The future is our youth, and investing in their education is a strategic move for all of society.
This Information Technology Internships Guide coaches you to prepare for your IT internships. Check out everything you need to know to apply for IT internships.
The challenge of managing dependencies in Python has been described by many different people. It’s a storied past, which has left a history of conflicting posts across the web. Even with…
I know, it’s not easy. NLP is a thing that everybody talks about, and it seems like everyone is doing it, besides yourself, who are lost and sad in the middle of the crowd. No worries, Natural…
If you have done your first MOOC on Machine Learning (aka Andrew Ng on Coursera) and want to explore further opportunities in this field or you are someone who has been observing the buzz of Data…
You’ve redesigned your site’s landing page and now you need to A/B test it. How long should you run the test for? This article will demonstrate how to answer this question using a sample size…
Over the course of my college experience, I’ve found that science and math classes are the most difficult to study for and excel in. Maybe it’s just me, but these classes tend to forgo general textbook information and definitions and ask you for much more than information regurgitation, and that can be seriously frightening. However,...Read More
In a recent post, I explained how to create custom plotting functions with matplotlib. Unavoidably, to do so, we needed some heavy use of **kwargs so I briefly introduced them there. Unfortunately…
If you have Googled “Moment Generating Function” and the first, the second, and the third results haven’t had you nodding yet, then give this article a try. We are pretty familiar with the first two…
State-Space Models in Bayesian Time Series Analysis with PyMC3
Go, arguably the world’s oldest board game and originated in East Asia some 4,000 years ago, is a game played amongst two players. Go is often played with 181 black and 180 white stones on a square…
The Internet of Things is fast coming at us. In the upcoming years we will see an increasing number of “things” – sensors mostly, becoming connected to
This choice board emphasizes the 4 Cs: Communication, Collaboration, Critical Thinking, and Creativity. Each section has different activities that focus on that 21st Century Skill. Some of them do overlap. It can be used with any subject. *** 4 C Choice Board and flap sheet to create the flaps***
All but two of SolarCity’s directors have recused themselves from deciding the potential merger with Tesla due to potential conflicts of
AdaBoost, or Adaptive Boost, is a relatively new machine learning classification algorithm. It is an ensemble algorithm that combines many weak learners (decision trees) and turns it into one strong…
If you haven’t been living under a rock, there’s a very high probability that you’ve used or at least heard of Google Colaboratory — a cloud-based notebook environment that lets you write, execute…
Artificial intelligence (AI) is bridging the gap between technology and humans by allowing machines to automatically learn things from data and become more ‘human-like’; thus, becoming more…
Online learning technology fuels an individualized learning experience and arms teachers and parents with information to help students.
Batch normalization deals with the problem of poorly initialization of neural networks. It can be interpreted as doing preprocessing at every layer of the network. It forces the activations in a network to take on a unit gaussian distribution at the beginning of the training.
5 school counseling activities using string to focus on growth mindset, anxiety, trauma, coping skills, and impulse control.
In this era of computation power greed, we tend to forget to use the power we can utilize on our very computers The hunger for computation power among programmers, gamers, scientists, software…
