Our starting assumption that sequence problems (language, speech, and others) are the natural domain of RNNs is being challenged. Temporal Convolutional Nets (TCNs) which are our workhorse CNNs with a few new features are outperforming RNNs on major applications today. Looks like RNNs may well be history.

A Markov chain is a mathematical system usually defined as a collection of random variables, that transition from one state to another according to certain probabilistic rules. These set of transition satisfies the Markov Property, which states that the probability of transitioning to any particular state is dependent solely on the current state and time elapsed, and not on the sequence of state that preceded it. This unique characteristic of Markov processes render them memoryless.

This article gives a broad overview of data science and the various fields within it, including business analytics, data analytics, business intelligence, advanced analytics, machine learning, and AI.

The Jupyter Notebook is an incredibly powerful tool for interactively developing and presenting data science projects. Although it is possible to use many different programming languages within Jupyter Notebooks, this article will focus on Python as it is the most common use case.

There is now a tremendous amount of data showing the inadequacy of ANOVAs as a statistical procedure (Camilli, 1987; Levy, 1978; Vasey, 1987; Chang, 2009). Instead, many papers suggest moving toward the mixed-modelling framework (Kristensen, 2004; Jaeger, 2008), which was shown to be more flexible, accurate, powerful and suited for psychological data. Using this framework, we will see how we can very simply answer our questions with R and the psycho package.

In this article, we will go through the implementation and interpretation of Control Charts, popularly used during Six Sigma DMAIC projects. Six Sigma at many organizations means a measure of quality that strives for near perfection. Six Sigma is a data-driven approach and methodology for eliminating defects (driving toward six standard deviations between the mean and the nearest specification limit) in any process. Six Sigma DMAIC is the problem-solving methodology. It consists of five Phases: Define, Measure, Analyse, Improve and Control.

People seemed to enjoy my intuitive and visual explanation of Markov chain Monte Carlo so I thought it would be fun to do another one, this time focused on copulas.

spaCy is a Python natural language processing library specifically designed with the goal of being a useful library for implementing production-ready systems. It is particularly fast and intuitive, making it a top contender for NLP tasks.
