Preprocessing

Audio Signal Processing with Python's Librosa


In this post, I focus on audio signal processing and working with WAV files. I apply Python's Librosa library for extracting wave features commonly used in research and application tasks such as gender prediction, music genre prediction, and voice identification. To succeed in these complex tasks, we need a clear understanding of how WAV files can be analysed, which I cover in detail with handy Python code snippets.

Machine Learning Tests using the Titanic dataset


In this post, we created and evaluated several machine-learning models using the Titanic Dataset. We have compared the performance of the Logistic Regression, Decision Tree and Random Forest from Python's library scikit-learn and a Neural Network created with TensorFlow. The Random Forest Performed the best!

TensorFlow: Convolutional Neural Networks for Image Classification


In this post, I have demonstrated CNN usage for birds recognition using TensorFlow and Kaggle 400 birds species dataset. We observed how the model works with the original and augmented images.

TensorFlow: Multiclass Classification Model


In Machine Learning, the classification problem is categorising input data into different classes. For instance, we can categorise email messages into two groups, spam or not spam. In this case, we have two classes, we talk about binary classification. When we have more than two classes, we talk about multiclass classification. In this post, I am going to address the latest multiclass classification, on the example of categorising clothing items into clothing types.

Feature preprocessing


Machine Learning algorithms often require that data is in a specific type. For instance, we can use only numerical data. In other cases, ML algorithms would perform better or converge faster when we preprocess data before training the model. Since we do this step before training the model, we call it preprocessing.
