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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

Learning begins at home: the internal training initiative at JSM
Today, organisations face multiple challenges on all fronts as far as dealing with a dynamic environment is concerned.

A silent move towards adaptive and model-dependent data models
Over the last decade there has been a substantial increase of the volume and complexity of the data we are collecting and storing. Now we see an increasing demand for real time data processing – a continuous process of input / output of data. Accordingly, the approach to data analysis and data processing has changed […]
