As I'm approaching the end of my data science journey, I still find it extremely hard to explain to parents , colleagues, and friends (outside the tech field) exactly what I'll be aiming to do as a data scientist, and quite frankly, I still have a hard time pinpointing it myself. Through my studies, I've… Continue reading Data, Do You Mined?

Classifying Different Types of Pneumonia with Deep Learning
One of the most promising application for deep learning image classification is within the medical field. While imaging technology has allowed doctors to "see" more than ever with a plethora of tests, the diagnosis is still the responsibility of the provider. For example, something simple like an x-ray can reveal many illness about a patient,… Continue reading Classifying Different Types of Pneumonia with Deep Learning
Hyperparameter Tuning and Optimization
Classification tasks, such as identifying fraudulent behavior on a credit card, are invaluable to any business or entity. There are many approaches that allow for predicting the class of an unknown object, from simple algorithms like Naive Bayes to more complex ones like XGBoost. However, for most (if not all) of these approaches to modeling… Continue reading Hyperparameter Tuning and Optimization
Hypothesis Testing with the Northwind Database
Microsoft’s Northwind Database has undoubtedly helped many aspiring individuals like myself in being able to play with data techniques such as querying data and building models from the database. There’s a lot that could be done with the database since its schema is relatively simple (see below): Looking at the available information, there’s… Continue reading Hypothesis Testing with the Northwind Database
Feature Selection in Data Analysis
Numbers do not lie, and in our technological era, there is an unprecedented amount of numbers that can provide extremely valuable insight into every sector of the economy. The ability to take this data and digest it properly falls on the shoulders of data scientists. At its most elementary level, analyzing data requires calculating the… Continue reading Feature Selection in Data Analysis
