YOLO stands for You Only Look Once. It’s an object detection model used in deep learning use cases, of which there are mainly 2 main families:
The idea of one-stage detection (also referred to as one-shot detection) is that you only look at the image once.
Stating that it was simply a bit better than YOLOv2, but not much changed.
YOLOv4 was then recently introduced as the “Optimal Speed and Accuracy of Object Detection”.
Naive Bayes algorithms are a set of supervised machine learning algorithms based on the Bayes probability theorem, which we’ll discuss in this article. Naive Bayes algorithms assume that there’s no correlation between features in a dataset used to train the model.
In spite of this oversimplified assumption, naive Bayes classifiers work very well in many complex real-world problems. A big advantage of naive Bayes classifiers is that they only require a relatively small number of training data samples to perform classification efficiently, compared to other algorithms like logistic regression, decision trees, and support vector machines.

At WWDC 2018, Apple introduced a brand new framework for iOS developers called Natural Language. Simply put, this framework gives apps the ability to analyze natural language text and understand parts of it. Natural Language can perform a variety of tasks on a block of text by assigning tag schemes to the text. What does this mean?

With recent advances in both Android device cameras and AI-accelerated chip technology, it’s no wonder that some of the most innovative, transformative use cases for machine learning on Android come in the form of computer vision.
From understanding scenes and creating artistic masterpieces to tracking human movement and even changing hair color, the promise of real-time computer vision on Android is real.

For this article, I want to discuss a couple topics in the iOS world I’ve always found interesting: memory management, heaps, and stacks. I’ve never really understood the difference between them or how heaps and stacks relate to storing memory in Swift.
So, I decided to do some of my own research and dig deep into memory management in Swift. I hope you’re looking forward to this topic as much as I am! Let’s dive right in.
So you’ve trained your Core ML model in Create ML or Turi Create. And now, you want to test it out on some real-world data. To make quick and dirty tests, you can leverage Swift Playgrounds and run Core ML models there. If you’re satisfied with the results, you can move over to Xcode project and run on-device or on a simulator.

This post is a part of a series about feature engineering techniques for machine learning with python.
You can check out the rest of the articles:
Welcome back! In this post, we’re going to cover the different imputation techniques used when dealing with missing data. Additionally, we’ll also explore a few code snippets you can use directly in your machine learning and data science projects.

In a few of my previous posts, you’ve built a React Native app using Firebase as the backend service provider for email authentication, storing a user’s data upon successful signup.
Let’s add another common yet useful and necessary feature in our current app structure: Forgot Password. This feature will require another screen in the current React Native app. To follow this tutorial, you can work through any of the previous posts if you’re a beginner in the React Native world:

ARIMA stands for Auto Regressive Integrated Moving Average. It’s a statistical library used for analyzing and forecasting time series data. Models created using ARIMA library are more flexible than other statistical models like simple linear regression. Here’s a closer look at the terms that make up this acronym:

Data visualization is the art of transforming information into a visual context, such as a map or graph. Through your journey in analyzing and preparing your data, you’ll often need to visually present your findings using some type of chart to make sense of the facts, numbers, and measurements.
After all, a picture is worth a thousand words (or in our case, a chart). However, to get the best use of a chart representation, you need to make sure you chose the perfect chart type to communicate your purpose and intentions. Choosing the perfect chart type for your goal can save you a lot of time and effort in order to better explain your data.
