Cambridge Coding Academy Summer School 2016

I’m not going to lie, when my parents first told me that they were making me go on a five day coding course, I was horrified. Summer is supposed to be for relaxing and enjoying yourself, doing stuff you enjoy. You shouldn’t have to think besides maybe calculating how many ice creams you can buy … Continue reading

Expanding your machine learning toolkit: Randomized search, computational budgets, and new algorithms

Introduction Previously, we wrote about some common trade-offs in machine learning and the importance of tuning models to your specific dataset. We demonstrated how to tune a random forest classifier using grid search, and how cross-validation can help avoid overfitting when tuning hyperparameters (HPs). In this follow-up post, you’ll beef up your machine learning toolbox … Continue reading

Free Tech Lab: Exploratory data analysis & interactive figures with Plotly

Join us for a free 1-hour hands-on workshop to get an overview of Exploratory data analysis and interactive figures using Plotly. Exploratory data analysis (or EDA) is an effective technique to analyse data sets. It involves summarising data with descriptive statistics, then visualizing data through plotting. Plotly is a useful plotting library that offers intuitive ways to … Continue reading
