OxTalks is Changing
On 28th November OxTalks will move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events' (full details are available on the Staff Gateway).
There will be an OxTalks freeze beginning on Friday 14th November. This means you will need to publish any of your known events to OxTalks by then as there will be no facility to publish or edit events in that fortnight. During the freeze, all events will be migrated to the new Oxford Events site. It will still be possible to view events on OxTalks during this time.
If you have any questions, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
Machine Learning in Python with scikit-learn
In this tutorial, we will complete a small end-to-end Machine Learning project using scikit-learn (scikit-learn.org), comprehensive, but simple and one of the most useful Machine Learning libraries for Python.
On a small dataset we will go through the typical pipeline of a real Machine Learning project: start with statistical summaries and visualization of the data, build multiple different machine learning models, use cross-validation to estimate their accuracies, select the best algorithm, make and evaluate the predictions on a validation set.
At the end of the session, we might have a look at the other useful functions integrated into scikit-learn.
The following tools will be used in this code clinic:
Python3 – www.python.org
Python SciPy libraries: – scipy – numpy – matplotlib – pandas – sklearn (shorten from scikit-learn)
You should stick to your favourite Python IDE; I will be working in Spyder – www.spyder-ide.org, which I highly recommend as IDE for R-users, who starts with Python and moves from R-Studio.
