Day 4

Today

• Sharing model iteration 1

  • Machine learning from the bottom up

  • Reading debrief on Chapter 10

For Next Time

• • Finish warmup project!

Sharing Model Iteration 1

In groups, use your ipython notebook to walk the folks at your table through your first iteration of your model.  Since everyone should have implemented the DataQuest module, perhaps just one person can walk through that to refresh everyone's memory.  Focus more on the additional things you tried, how they worked out, outstanding questions you have, and lessons learned.

Machine Learning from the Bottom Up

We will be going over an activity to build a machine learning system without relying on (almost) any external libraries!  The notebook is checked into the repo under day04.  Pull from upstream to get the new changes.

We will be using a dataset of faces for this exercise.  In order to minimize waiting for the dataset to download, please download it when you first get to class.

Reading Debrief

We'll go over your combined responses from the reading.
