Developing machine learning predictive models from time series data is an important skill in Data Science. While the time element in the data provides valuable information for your model, it can also lead you down a path that could fool you into something... (more…)

10/1/09 update — well, it’s been nearly a year, and I should say not everything in this rant is totally true, and I certainly believe much less of it now. Current take: Statistics, not machine learning, is the real deal, but unfortunately suffers fro...

A high level primer on language models and OpenAI’s GPT-2... (more…)

Machine Learning is, put simply, getting computers to generalize from examples. And that's what I try to do: put things simply. My posts on Machine Learning (ML) consist primarily of beginner-focused introductions to common ML models or concepts, and I st... (more…)

In a previous article, we reviewed some of the pre-eminent literature on pruning neural networks. We learned that pruning is a model optimization technique that involves eliminating unnecessary… (more…)
