Data Analysis & ML certificate course (2nd batch) successfully completed at Osmania University
Aeon Knowledge (in partnership with CQM, Osmania University) is happy to announce the successful completion of their second batch of “Certificate course in Data Analysis and Machine Learning”. The first batch was completed in August 2018. The participants received their course completion and merit certificates on June 13, 2019, from Prof. C. Jaya Lakshmi (Director, […]
Strategy Formulation for businesses: looking beyond variable importance
For businesses, while it is important to have an accurate model, an interpretable model is equally important. Apart from wanting to know what our model’s prediction is, we also wonder why it is it high/low and which features are most important in determining the forecast. (Most machine learning algorithms produce variable importance as a part […]
Data Science courses completed at Osmania University
It was a great honour to be a part of the teaching faculty of the Department of Statistics, University College of Science, Osmania University. Sandhya(linkedin.com/in/sandhyatanneer) and I were given the opportunity to teach the industrial electives to postgraduate students of Statistics / Applied Statistics for both the semesters in the academic year 2018-2019. We thoroughly […]
Learning Data Science entails truly knowing how to apply it
I am a practitioner, a teacher, an avid learner, and I am equally passionate about being all three. In fact, what helps me be one, is being the other two.I am a practitioner, a teacher, an avid learner, and I am equally passionate about being all three. In fact, what helps me be one, is […]
Why a Data Scientist should master both ‘concept’ and ‘context’
Albert Einstein once said “If you cannot explain it simply, you do not understand it well enough”. My belief in this has only strengthened ever since I (along with Sandhya and Bala Kartheek) taught the first ever industry elective course named “Data Mining using Machine Learning ” by Department of Statistics, Osmania University. Thanks to […]
Things to remember while learning/teaching Data Science
As a scholar, industry practitioner over 15 years of experience and off late as a trainer, I have seen a lot of trends emerge in Data Science from 2003 onwards. Unfortunately all the time, the analytics, data mining, now data science, is operated more on the basis of tools than approach or conceptual prospective. Earlier […]
Interns at JSM on their learning experience
A note by the interns: “Our internship experience taught us more than what we could have imagined. We felt that we had no idea where our career was going and we lacked confidence about what we could do and what we are really good at. Our internship has definitely given us a better understanding of […]
A course on Data Science for professionals and students, in collaboration with Osmania University
Today, we are in the midst of a data revolution. The amount of data is growing bigger day by day due to social media, increased number of devices connected to Internet and the reduction in the cost of storage devices. In order to handle this enormous amount of data, the industry needs competent and efficient […]
Insightful and effective: “Deep Learning Specialization” by Andrew Ng on Coursera
Not enough can be said about the contribution of Coursera and Andrew Ng to machine learning education. The very beginning of Coursera was with a machine learning MOOC in 2012, and this was, as far as I can tell, the first time machine learning education was made available freely and publicly. Such was the excitement […]
Assessing market demand using Neural Networks
Objective The objective was to assess and forecast demand for a retail outlet, using Neural Networks. Approach In order to conduct the analytics, we applied the concept of Multi-Layer Perceptron (MLP) in Neural Networks which can classify and predict the patterns accurately. The inherently non-linear structure of neural networks is particularly useful for capturing the […]
