Gensim is billed as a Natural Language Processing package that does ‘Topic Modeling for Humans’. But it is practically much more than that. It is a leading and a state-of-the-art package for processing texts, working with word vector models (such as Word2Vec, FastText etc) and for building topic models. Gensim Tutorial – A Complete Beginners …
Lemmatization is the process of converting a word to its base form. The difference between stemming and lemmatization is, lemmatization considers the context and converts the word to its meaningful base form, whereas stemming just removes the last few characters, often leading to incorrect meanings and spelling errors. Comparing Lemmatization Approaches in Python. Photo by …

In machine learning, Feature selection is the process of choosing variables that are useful in predicting the response (Y). It is considered a good practice to identify which features are important when building predictive models. In this post, you will see how to implement 10 powerful feature selection approaches in R. Introduction 1. Boruta 2. …

Topic Modeling is a technique to extract the hidden topics from large volumes of text. Latent Dirichlet Allocation(LDA) is a popular algorithm for topic modeling with excellent implementations in the Python’s Gensim package. The challenge, however, is how to extract good quality of topics that are clear, segregated and meaningful. This depends heavily on the …

Choosing the right evaluation metric for classification models is important to the success of a machine learning app. Monitoring only the ‘accuracy score’ gives an incomplete picture of your model’s performance and can impact the effectiveness. So, consider the following 15 evaluation metrics before you finalize on the KPIs of your classifier model. Introduction: Building …
Logistic regression is a predictive modelling algorithm that is used when the Y variable is binary categorical. That is, it can take only two values like 1 or 0. The goal is to determine a mathematical equation that can be used to predict the probability of event 1. Once the equation is established, it can …

We have covered the basic concepts about linear regression. Besides these, you need to understand that linear regression is based on certain underlying assumptions that must be taken care especially when working with multiple Xs. Once you are familiar with that, the advanced regression models will show you around the various special cases where a …
