Tips for AI writers:

1. Spend 30% of your effort on skimming all student ML papers (e.g. Stanford NLP CS224n) the past 3 years and prototype your favorites

The idea is everything. Pick an area you are interested in and ideally something that has a visual aspect to it

Pandas is an amazing data analysis and manipulation library for python, Really popular when working with ML, Data science or more.

It has a robust data structure, Dataframe for manipulation and analyzing data.

Here's some tips to help you work better with pandas. Let's go! ↓

If you're not aware about what a Dataframe is, It's an optimized data structure for loading data, analysing it, manipulating data in it, and Mostly gathering insights.

It uses Cython backend which transpiles into C for optimized code.

Here's how a dataframe looks like,

Before we start, You need to ensure, you have pandas installed. If you don't, Do that before moving ahead!

Here are the tips, Let's go!

1/ Convert PD series to Dataframe

We all have struggled, when we deal with pandas series. It's always easier to work with Dataframes, rather than series. Here is how you can convert series to dataframe easily.

2/ How to create dummy Dataframe for testing

We always need dataframes for testing and analysing normally, if we do not have data ready. Here is how you can use Pandas API to generate different types of data.

🔥 Putting ML in Production! We're going to publicly develop @madewithml's first ML service. Here is the broad curriculum:

- 📦 Product
- 🔢 Data
- 🤖 Modeling
- 📝 Scripting
- 🛠 API
- 🚀 Production

What is it?

Putting ML in Production: a guide and code-driven case study on MLOps. We will be developing and deploying Made With ML's first ML service, from Product → ML → Production, with open source tools.

This ML service will act as a foundation for all future ML features and subsequent iterations. The first feature is tagifai - multilabel classification of tags for a project. We'll discuss the need and utility of this feature in the first lesson.

Who is this course for?

- ML developers looking to become end-to-end ML developers.
- Software engineers looking to learn how to responsibly deploy and monitor ML systems.
- Product managers who want to have a comprehensive understanding of the different stages of ML dev.

Tired of word clouds? Want to do better sentiment analysis? Not sure how to look at the words underneath your measures?

Our long overdue paper on generalized word shift graphs is finally here!

So what are they?

1/n

If we have two texts, there are many ways we can compare them. Weighted averages are a particularly useful measure because they're flexible and interpretable

Proportions, Shannon entropy, the KLD, the JSD, and dictionary methods can all be written as weighted averages

2/n

But weighted avgs are also slippery. When we try to compress complex phenomena like happiness, surprise, divergence, or diversity into a single number, it can be unclear what we're measuring

If the measure goes up, what does that mean? Why did it do that? Can we trust it?

3/n

Very often, that's the end of the line and we're left with an uneasy feeling in the pit of our stomach that our weighted avg is actually picking up a data artifact or some other unintended peculiarity

Word shift graphs help us address those concerns

4/n

First, word shifts look under the hood of weighted averages to see what's going on

All weighted averages are a sum of contributions from individual words. We can pull out those words, and rank which ones contribute the most to the difference between two texts

On Bayesianism, the Many Worlds Interpretation, and personal identity.

Some thoughts worked out in a letter to a friend, which is the kind of thing you do when off Twitter for a glorious week. (🧵)

“Chance is ignorance”—the Bayesian story; all probabilities represent states of mind, not states of the world. One *could* put (some) chances “in the world”, but let’s take Occam’s Razor seriously...

That the probability of a fair coin coming up heads is 50% simply means that marginalizing (tracing, as the physicists say) over the hidden facts leaves you, nearly, maximally ignorant of the outcome.

Quantum uncertainty (access below!) poses an apparent challenge to this story. There seems to be nothing to be ignorant about when it comes to (say) electron spin—there is nothing “inside” the

The electron is a simple object, in other words. So where does the uncertainty come from? One could follow David Wallace’s wonderful interpretation in terms of chaotic dynamics and decoherence, but let’s see if we can take another route...
