In the context of science, the well-known adage "a picture is worth a thousand words" might well be "a model is worth a thousand datasets." Scientific models, such as Newtonian physics or biological gene regulatory networks, are human-driven simplificatio... (more…)

Feature Engineering is paramount in building a good predictive model. It’s significant to obtain a deep understanding of the data that is being used for analysis. The characteristics of the selected features are definitive of a good training model. Why is... (more…)

TL;DR - I wrote annotation-mode, which is a emacs minor mode for annotating text documents for machine learning purposes. Recently at work I had to annotate some text documents for a piece of NLP work. The annotation involves marking regions of the text ... (more…)
