Favorite JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) is a schema-less, lightweight format for storing and transporting data. It’s a text-based, self-describing representation of structured data that is based on key-value pairs. JSON is supported either natively or through libraries in most major programming languages, and is commonly used to exchange information between

Favorite Training an accurate machine learning (ML) model requires many different steps, but none are potentially more important than data processing. Examples of processing steps include converting data to the input format expected by the ML algorithm, rescaling and normalizing, cleaning and tokenizing text, and many more. However, data processing

Favorite The ability to rapidly iterate and train machine learning (ML) models is key to deriving business value from ML workloads. Because ML models often have many tunable parameters (known as hyperparameters) that can influence the model’s ability to effectively learn, data scientists often use a technique known as hyperparameter
