Baking with machine learning (2020)
Like many people, I’ve been entertaining myself at home by baking a ton. I’ve gotten pretty good at following recipes, but I decided I wanted to take things one step further and understand the science behind what differentiates a cake from a bread or a cookie. I also like machine learning so I thought: what if I could…

Gaussian Processes from Scratch (2019)
This post explores some concepts behind Gaussian processes, such as stochastic processes and the kernel function. We will build up deeper understanding of Gaussian process regression by implementing them from scratch using Python and NumPy.

Review: The Book of Why
The Book of Why: The New Science of Cause and Effect is a collaborative effort aimed at a general audience by Judea Pearl , a professor of computer science at UCLA, and Dana Mackenzie , a science writer. As a medical student with a laughably poor formal education in statistics, I believe I qualify as a card-carrying…

FastText is the best text classification library for a quick baseline
Text classification is a very frequent use case for machine learning (ML) and natural language processing (NLP). It’s used for things like spam detection in emails, sentiment analysis for social media posts, or intent detection in chat bots. In this series I am going to compare several libraries that can be used to…
