Kvh: Getting started with Ramp: Detecting insults. Ramp is a python library for rapid machine learning prototyping. It provides a simple, declarative syntax for exploring features, algorithms and transformations quickly and efficiently. At its core it's a pandas wrapper around various python machine learning and statistics libraries (scikit-learn, rpy2, etc.). Some features:Fast caching and persistence of all intermediate and final calculations -- nothing is recomputed unnecessarily.Advanced training and preparation logic. Ramp respects the current training set, even when using complex trained features and blended predictions, and also tracks the given preparation set (the x values used in feature preparation -- e.g. the mean and stdev used for feature normalization.)A growing library of feature transformations, metrics and estimators.

Detecting insults Let's try Ramp out on the Kaggle Detecting Insults in Social Commentary challenge. First, we load up the data using pandas. Anyways, let's set up a DataContext for Ramp.

Public Domain / CIA NOTE: This guide uses the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA). For information about this notation, please visit my page of International Phonetic Alphabet Resources. There are obviously many North American accents. For reference, here is a list of only the most common classifications in the United States and Canada. General American This refers to the spectrum of ‘standard’ English spoken by newscasters, TV actors, and a large percentage of middle-class Americans. Prominent Features: The short-a (as in cat) is raised and diphthongized before nasal consonants. Accent Samples: Eastern New England English This describes the classic “Boston Accent.”

New York City English One of the more famous American accents, the classic “New Yorkese” has been immortalized by films (“Goodfellas,” “Marty,” and “Manhattan,” among countless others), TV shows (“All in the Family,” “Seinfeld,” “King of Queens”) and plays (“A View from the Bridge,” “Lost in Yonkers,” “Guys and Dolls”).

Conclusion. American Dialect Links. Bastibe/PyAudio. PyAudio: PortAudio v19 Python Bindings. PyAudio is still super-duper alpha quality. It has run on GNU/Linux, Microsoft Windows, and Apple Mac OS X—but it could use more testing. PyAudio is inspired by: pyPortAudio/fastaudio: Python bindings for PortAudio v18 API.
