Have you ever noticed what happens when you hear a name you haven’t heard before? You automatically put it in a bucket, the girl names bucket or the boy names bucket. In this tutorial, we’re getting started with machine learning. We’ll be building a classifier able to distinguish between boy and girl names. If this […]
Few people realise how tricky splitting text into sentences can be. Most of the NLP frameworks out there already have English models created for this task. You might encounter issues with the pretrained models if:
This is probably the first post I should have written on the blog. The thing is, I did machine learning and natural language processing for a long time before putting the concepts in order inside my own mind. I’ve learned techniques and hacks to boost precision of classifiers before fully understanding how a classifier computes […]
