The k-Nearest Neighbors algorithm is a simple and effective way to classify data. It is an example of instance-based learning, where you need to have instances of data close at hand to perform the machine learning algorithm.
Datacast Episode 1: From Molecular Biologist to Data Scientist with Dr. Jon Leslie
Dr. Jonathan Leslie obtained his Ph.D. in Biology from the University of London, studying blood vessel formation at the Cancer Research UK London Research Institute. After 20 years of researching the molecular processes underlying cancer, he turned to data science and founded a freelance consultancy business. He is passionate about promoting open-source software and routinely volunteers as a mentor in the R-programming and data science communities.
14 Golden Nuggets to Demystify Data Science for Aspiring Data Scientists
25 Critical Insights From Experienced Data Scientists in The Data Science Handbook
I would highly recommend you to read The Data Science Handbook. The data scientists in the book have helped create the very industry that is now having such a tremendous impact on the world. They discuss the mindset that allowed them to create this industry, address misconceptions about the field, share stories of specific challenges and victories, and talk about what they look for when building their teams.
How to Think Like a Data Scientist in 12 Steps
At the moment, data scientists are getting a lot of attention, and as a result, books about data science are proliferating. While searching for good books about the space, it seems to me that the majority of them focus more on the tools and techniques rather than the nuanced problem-solving nature of the data science process. That is until I encountered Brian Godsey’s “Think Like a Data Scientist.”
The 7 NLP Techniques That Will Change How You Communicate in The Future (Part II)
From machine translation that connects humans across cultures, to conversational chatbots that help with customer service; from sentiment analysis that deeply understands a human’s mood, to attention mechanisms that can mimic our visual attention, the field of NLP is too expansive to cover completely, so I’d encourage you to explore it further, whether through online courses, blog tutorials, or research papers.
The 7 NLP Techniques That Will Change How You Communicate in The Future (Part I)
NLP is certainly one of the most important technologies of the information age. Understanding complex language utterances is also a crucial part of artificial intelligence. Fully understanding and representing the meaning of language is an extremely difficult goal. Why? Because the human language is quite special.
The 5 Machine Learning Use Cases that Optimize Your Airbnb Travel Experience
The 5 Computer Vision Techniques That Will Change How You See The World
Computer Vision is one of the hottest research fields within Deep Learning at the moment. It sits at the intersection of many academic subjects, such as Computer Science (Graphics, Algorithms, Theory, Systems, Architecture), Mathematics (Information Retrieval, Machine Learning), Engineering (Robotics, Speech, NLP, Image Processing), Physics (Optics), Biology (Neuroscience), and Psychology (Cognitive Science).
