Business and technical write-ups on data science
As a self-taught data scientist or wanna-be data scientist, deciding on what to learn per time is important. However, it can become a stressful task in itself because there a lot of materials and new concepts to cover. For some people, the challenge is that they lack the motivation to keep learning. They quit after … Read more
Let’s say you have set a 6-month goal learn to data science and you are a complete newbie, here is the road map I have created to take you there from the scratch. It covers python programming, data science intuition and solving real world problems: Dataquest (2 months) [Hands-on Tutorial & Coding]- For hands-on python programming … Read more
Bayes Theorem is an important approach in statistics for testing hypotheses and deriving estimates. According to Wikipedia: Bayes’ theorem (alternatively Bayes’ law or Bayes’ rule, also written as Bayes’s theorem) describes the probability of an event, based on prior knowledge of conditions that might be related to the event. For example, if cancer is related to age, then, using Bayes’ theorem, a person’s … Read more
From the previous post we explained what the neural network is and what it does. A neural network consists of a input layer, hidden layer (middle layer) and the output layer. The input layer takes in the input (images, files, audio, video etc), passes it to the hidden layer where come processing/learning is done and passed … Read more
What are neural networks? Humans can easily identify objects because the brain has “seen” (learned) the images of those objects before – as input, processes it and then identifies the object as a dog, book, stick e.t.c. However, this is extremely difficult for computers. Why? Because computers are primarily programmed for computational results. Computers compute! … Read more
