A few years ago, I reported on my experience installing the Tesla roof rack on my Model 3 (apparently the bolts are a bit longer now and easier to install), and shortly afterwards I tested the impact on consumption/efficiency (i.e. how much did the Wh/km change?) A few months after that last...

Computational Epidemiology and Data Scientists: Don't post analysis on outbreak arbitrarily

msuzen

Summary Many data scientist are trained or experienced in using tools to do statistical modelling, forecasting or machine learning solutions, this doesn't necessarily mean that they should just jump out and do an ad-hoc analysis on the available public data on the covid19 outbreak and draw policy...

Kindly reposted to KDnuggets by Gregory Piatetsky-Shapiro  Preamble The core application of machine learning models is a binary classification task. This appears in polyhedra of areas from medicine for diagnostic tests to credit risk decision making for consumers.  Techniques in building...

Teaching to machines: What is learning in machine learning entails?

msuzen

Preamble Ebbinghaus (WikipediaMachine Learning (ML) is now a de-facto skill for every quantitative job and almost every industry embraced it, even though fundamentals of the field is not new at all. However, what does it mean to teach to a machine? Unfortunately, for even moderate technical people...
