Python Basics - know about libraries

Python's popularity for data science is largely due to the strength of its core libraries, high productivity for prototyping and building small and reusable systems, and its strength as a general purpose programming language.

python library

For importing any Python library take the reference from the below code snippet in your notebook-


Some core libraries that we will use in data science are as below-

  1. pandas
  2. NumPy
  3. Scipy
  4. matplotlib

Machine Learning-Decision Trees and Random Forests

Another post starts with you beautiful people! I hope after reading my previous post about  Linear and Logistic Regression   your confidence level is up and you are now ready to move one step ahead in Machine Learning arena. In this post we will be going over Decision Trees and Random Forests . In order for you to understand this exercise completely there is some required reading. I suggests you to please read following blog post before going further- A Must Read! After reading the blog post you should have a basic layman's (or laywoman!) understanding of how decision trees and random forests work.  A quick intro is as below- Decision Trees (DTs) are a non-parametric supervised learning method used for classification and regression. The goal is to create a model that predicts the value of a target variable by learning simple decision rules inferred from the data features . For instance, in the example below, decision trees learn from data to approximate a sin...

Machine Learning-Cross Validation & ROC curve

Another post starts with you beautiful people! Hope you enjoyed my previous post about improving your model performance by  confusion metrix . Today we will continue our performance improvement journey and will learn about Cross Validation (k-fold cross validation) & ROC in Machine Learning. A common practice in data science competitions is to iterate over various models to find a better performing model. However, it becomes difficult to distinguish whether this improvement in score is coming because we are capturing the relationship better or we are just over-fitting the data. To find the right answer of this question, we use cross validation technique. This method helps us to achieve more generalized relationships. What is Cross Validation? Cross Validation is a technique which involves reserving a particular sample of a data set on which we do not train the model. Later, we test the model on this sample before finalizing the model. Here are the steps involved in...

How to use opencv-python with Darknet's YOLOv4?

Another post starts with you beautiful people 😊 Thank you all for messaging me your doubts about Darknet's YOLOv4. I am very happy to see in a very short amount of time my lovely aspiring data scientists have learned a state of the art object detection and recognition technique. If you are new to my blog and to computer vision then please check my following blog posts one by one- Setup Darknet's YOLOv4 Train custom dataset with YOLOv4 Create production-ready API of YOLOv4 model Create a web app for your YOLOv4 model Since now we have learned to use YOLOv4 built on Darknet's framework. In this post, I am going to share with you how can you use your trained YOLOv4 model with another awesome computer vision and machine learning software library-  OpenCV  and of course with Python 🐍. Yes, the Python wrapper of OpenCV library has just released it's latest version with support of YOLOv4 which you can install in your system using below command- pip install opencv-pyt...
