Representing words in a numerical format has been a challenging and important first step in building any kind of Machine Learning (ML) system for processing natural language, be it for modelling social media sentiment, classifying emails, recognizing names inside documents, or translating sentences into other languages.

Machine Learning models can take as input vectors and matrices, but they are unable to directly parse strings. Being able to embed words into meaningful vectors has been one of the most important reasons why Deep Learning has been so successfully applied in the field of Natural Language Processing (NLP). Word embeddings have been an active area of research, with over 26,000 papers published since 2013.

ModelStudio and The Grammar of Interactive Explanatory Model Analysis. The new version of modelStudio has recently been released on CRAN.modelStudio is an R package that automates the exploration of ML models and allows for interactive examination.

modelStudio and The Grammar of Interactive Explanatory Model Analysis

It works in a model agnostic fashion, therefore is compatible with most of the ML frameworks (e.g. mlr/mlr3, xgboost, caret, h2o, scikit-learn, lightGBM, keras/tensorflow). Recently, we have uploaded to arXiv an article presenting the main principles behind this tool: The Grammar of Interactive Explanatory Model Analysis. Here are the highlights. Local and global level model explanations complement each other. There is an increasing number of voices arguing that a single method of model exploration cannot fit all needs of different stakeholders (see e.g.

As in the story of the blind and the elephant, we cannot sufficiently explain a complex model using a single method that gives only one perspective. Explanation of predictive models is a process not a chart. ModelStudio implements the principles of IEMA. Related. March 2020: "Top 40" New CRAN Packages.

March 2020: "Top 40" New CRAN Packages

(You can report issue about the content on this page here) Want to share your content on R-bloggers? Click here if you have a blog, or here if you don't. Two hundred ninety-six new packages made it to CRAN in March. Here are my “Top 40” picks in ten categories: Computational Methods, Data, Machine Learning, Mathematics, Medicine, Science, Statistics, Time Series, Utilities, and Visualization. Computational Methods celltrackR v0.3.1: Provides a methodology to analyze cells that move in a two- or three-dimensional space. Collapse v1.1.0: Implements C/C++ based functions for advanced data transformations including statistical functions supporting grouped and/or weighted computations on vectors, matrices and data.frames and more.

The Case for tidymodels. By Joseph Rickert If you are a data scientist with a built-out set of modeling tools that you know well, and which are almost always adequate for getting your work done, it is probably difficult for you to imagine what would induce you to give them up.

The Case for tidymodels

Changing out what works is a task that rarely generates much enthusiasm. Nevertheless, in this post, I would like to point out a few features of tidymodels that could help even experienced data scientists make the case to give tidymodels a try. So what are we talking about? An Introduction to Greta. By Joseph Rickert I was surprised by greta.

An Introduction to Greta

I had assumed that the tensorflow and reticulate packages would eventually enable R developers to look beyond deep learning applications and exploit the TensorFlow platform to create all manner of production-grade statistical applications. But I wasn’t thinking Bayesian. After all, Stan is probably everything a Bayesian modeler could want. Stan is a powerful, production-level probability distribution modeling engine with a slick R interface, deep documentation, and a dedicated development team. But greta lets users write TensorFlow-based Bayesian models directly in R! 8 Useful R Packages for Data Science You Aren't Using (But Should!) 20 R Packages That Should Impact Every Data Scientist « Data Scientist Insights.
