Data Noise and Label Noise in Machine Learning

Towards Data Science

Why should we care about data noise and label noise in machine learning? Tremendous achievements have brought machine learning to various applications. This should motivate and accelerate research…

Signal : Noise in ML

Towards Data Science

Lately, I have been running a lot of Machine Learning experiments both at work and on Kaggle. One thing has become clear: it’s really hard to confidently say Model A is better than Model B. Typically…...

My Favorite Way to Smooth Noisy Data With Python

Python in Plain English

Nearly all real-world data is noisy. What do I mean by noisy? Consider the following simple example: I’ve got a mass attached to a spring — I pull on the mass (stretching the spring) and then let go. ...

The Signal and the Noise

Towards Data Science

Once upon a time, the owner of a shoe store wanted to know how many shoes of each size he should buy. Luckily, a friendly statistician came to his aid. “That’s easy!” he said, “We have a simple…

Information in Noise

Towards Data Science

Two Techniques for Visualizing Many Time-Series at Once Imagine this: you’ve got a bunch of line charts, and you’re confident that there’s at least one trend hiding somewhere in all that data. Whethe...

Noise is Not an Enemy of Data. Noise IS Data.

Towards Data Science

Second, there is data, which is the bits of reality filtered through the data collection process. Data is subset of the data, but not the whole thing. Third, there is the model, which may be…

Data Curiosity

Becoming Human: Artificial Intelligence Magazine

Here’s a question for you — when did you learn to read and write? Odds are it was one of the first things you remember learning, and that makes sense: learning to read and write is foundational for…

Small data, large uncertainty

Towards Data Science

How to estimate the uncertainty of your model's statistics via sampling distributions, and why it matters.

The Data Question

Towards Data Science

How much data do we need to build this computer vision classifier? This is the data question. In my experience the data question comes up in almost every computer vision project we’ve taken on, and…

Cleaning Noise from Data Using Python

Python in Plain English

Identify the Noise: Before diving into cleaning techniques, it’s essential to understand the nature of the noise present in your data. Noise can manifest in various forms, such as outliers, missing va...

The Problem With Data

Towards Data Science

Data. Data. Data. Have we got data for this? Can we check the data? I need to back up my agenda. The numbers look off. Hide the data. Today we’re seeing unprecedented attention on this four lettered…

Predictable Noise : A Flaw in Machine Judgement
