Fraud Classification with AutoML

Introduction Data scientist follow a structure of obtaining data, cleaning it, and then feeding it through one of their many fancy models to determine which one has the best "predictive" capabilities. This insight is highly valued by many companies either as a means to have some foresight into future conditions or revise current systems to… Continue reading Fraud Classification with AutoML

A Mathless Breakdown of Decisions Trees and the Gini Impurity Index

The decision tree algorithm is one of the first learned by most aspiring data scientists because while the underlying math may be tedious, the overall logic is pretty simple to understand, at least on a surface level. At its core, a decision tree is a classifier algorithm, which means it has to make a decision… Continue reading A Mathless Breakdown of Decisions Trees and the Gini Impurity Index

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
