When the semester ended and winter break began, I saw it as the perfect opportunity to focus on skill-building. I spent time diving deep into data manipulation with Pandas and experimenting with machine learning models. It was a challenging yet rewarding experience that left me feeling more confident and equipped for future projects. Here’s what... Continue Reading →
Data Trasformation
When working with machine learning models, raw data often isn't enough. Features in your dataset may need transformation to make them understandable for algorithms, especially when dealing with categorical data. That’s where encoding techniques like One-Hot Encoding and Ordinal Encoding come into play. What Are One-Hot Encoding and Ordinal Encoding? One-Hot Encoding One-hot encoding is... Continue Reading →
