What is the intuition behind image data processing and feature extraction? — “Computer Vision” is an area of Machine Learning that deals with image recognition and classification. Computer Vision models can be developed to accomplish tasks like facial recognition, identifying which breed a dog belongs to and even identifying a tumor from CT scans: the possibilities are endless. In a series of…

Why it is about more than just getting the outcome right — “Supervised Learning” refers to Machine Learning algorithms that learn how to predict an outcome from past knowledge. For instance if we want to train a model to predict the outcome of a game, we may feed it with player stats for the last 1000 games, telling it which team won…

With Scikit’s NearestNeighbour learner in Python — In this article, I will explore the use of Unsupervised Machine Learning to generate artist recommendations using data from Spotify. While there are many algorithms that could have been used for this purpose, the one considered here is the NearestNeighbours learner, implemented using Scikit Learn in Python. Let’s dive right…
