Preparing Your Dataset for Machine Learning: 8 Basic Techniques That Make Your Data Better
There's a good story about bad data told by Martin Goodson, a data science consultant. A healthcare project was aimed to cut costs in the treatment of patients with pneumonia. It employed machine learning (ML) to automatically sort through patient records to decide who has the lowest death risk and should take antibiotics at home and who's at high risk of death from pneumonia … [Read more...] about Preparing Your Dataset for Machine Learning: 8 Basic Techniques That Make Your Data Better
