OxTalks Change Freeze Starts 2 March
Oxford Events, the new replacement for OxTalks, will launch on 16th March. The two-week OxTalks freeze period starts on Monday 2nd March. During this time, there will be no facility to publish or edit events. The existing OxTalks site will remain available to view during this period. Once Oxford Events launches, you will need a Halo login to submit events. Full details are available on the Staff Gateway.
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.
