A beginner’s guide to ensemble learning How does ensemble learning work? Say you want to develop a machine learning model that predicts inventory stock orders for your company based on historical data you have gathered from previous years. You use train four machine learning models using a different algorithms: linear regression, support vector machine, a regression decision tree, and a basicartificial neural network. But even after much tweaking and configuration, none of them achieves your desired 95 percent prediction accuracy....

It seems like every other day there is a new social website or service that you have to sign up for and start a new account. While this can be great, it is hard to keep track of all your different passwords. The simple solution for this problem is to just have one password for everything. However, this leads to an incredibly large security risk. It’s unreasonable to expect any person to remember complex passwords, so the best solution is to get a password manager....

Simply put, Project 365 is committing to taking one photo a day for a year.

There are a lot of different reasons why you would choose to create your own Project 365....

A beginner’s guide to the math that powers machine learning Start with the basics Many machine learning books tell you that having a working knowledge of linear algebra. I would argue that you need a lot more than that. Extensive experience with linear algebra is a must-have—machine learning algorithms squeeze every last bit out of vector spaces and matrix mathematics. You also need to know a good bit of statistics and probability, as well as differential and integral calculus, especially if you want to become more involved indeep learning....

A beginner’s guide to the most popular Git commands Learn the most popular git commands and a simple but effective branching model What is a version control system? VCS is a software that automatically maintains a record of every change in a project. This way, a team can focus on creating an actual product instead of dealing with non-productive tasks like who modified a specific file. Also, as VCS is a computer software so it’s more accurate and faster than us....
