Recently, I started up with an NLP competition on Kaggle called Quora Question insincerity challenge. It is an NLP Challenge on text classification and as the problem has become more clear after working through the competition as well as by going through the invaluable kernels put up by the kaggle ...
A Layman guide to moving from Keras to Pytorch
Recently I started up with a competition on kaggle on text classification, and as a part of the competition, I had to somehow move to Pytorch to get deterministic results. Now I have always worked with Keras in the past and it has given me pretty good results, but somehow ...
What Kagglers are using for Text Classification
With the problem of Image Classification is more or less solved by Deep learning, Text Classification is the next new developing theme in deep learning. For those who don't know, Text classification is a common task in natural language processing, which transforms a sequence of text of indefinite length ...
To all Data Scientists - The one Graph Algorithm you need to know
Graphs provide us with a very useful data structure. They can help us to find structure within our data. With the advent of Machine learning and big data we need to get as much information as possible about our data. Learning a little bit of graph theory can certainly help ...
Object Detection: An End to End Theoretical Perspective
We all know about the image classification problem. Given an image can you find out the class the image belongs to? We can solve any new image classification problem with ConvNets and Transfer Learning using pre-trained nets.
ConvNet as fixed feature extractor. Take a ConvNet pretrained on ImageNet, remove the ...
Hyperopt - A bayesian Parameter Tuning Framework
Recently I was working on a in-class competition from the "How to win a data science competition" Coursera course. You can start for free with the 7-day Free Trial. Learned a lot of new things from that about using XGBoost for time series prediction tasks.
The one thing that I ...
Using XGBoost for time series prediction tasks
Recently Kaggle master Kazanova along with some of his friends released a "How to win a data science competition" Coursera course. You can start for free with the 7-day Free Trial. The Course involved a final project which itself was a time series prediction problem. Here I will describe how ...
The story of every distribution - Discrete Distributions
Distributions play an important role in the life of every Statistician. I coming from a non-statistic background am not so well versed in these and keep forgetting about the properties of these famous distributions. That is why I chose to write my own understanding in an intuitive way to keep ...
Good Feature Building Techniques - Tricks for Kaggle - My Kaggle Code Repository
Often times it happens that we fall short of creativity. And creativity is one of the basic ingredients of what we do. Creating features needs creativity. So here is the list of ideas I gather in day to day life, where people have used creativity to get great results on ...
Today I Learned This Part 2: Pretrained Neural Networks What are they?
Deeplearning is the buzz word right now. I was working on the course for deep learning by Jeremy Howard and one thing I noticed were pretrained deep Neural Networks. In the first lesson he used the pretrained NN to predict on the Dogs vs Cats competition on Kaggle to achieve ...
