Data Science
Data Science — including machine learning, data analysis, and data visualization First of all, let’s review what machine learning is . I think the best way to explain what machine learning is would be to give you a simple example. Let’s say you want to develop a program that automatically detects what’s in a picture. So, given this picture below (Picture 1), you want your program to recognize that it’s a dog. Picture 1 Given this other one below (Picture 2), you want your program to recognize that it’s a table. Picture 2 You might say, well, I can just write some code to do that. For example, maybe if there are a lot of light brown pixels in the picture, then we can say that it’s a dog. Or maybe, you can figure out how to detect edges in a picture. Then, you might say, if there are many straight edges, then it’s a table. However, this kind of approach gets tricky pretty quickly. What if there’s a white dog in the picture with no brown hai...
