4 reasons why to use visualization grammar with examples

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on Tue, 01/24/2023 - 19:35

There are many reasons why a visualization grammar can be useful when creating visualizations. Here are three reasons why you might choose to use a visualization grammar, along with examples that illustrate each reason. For these examples, we use altair and json Pythn libaries, which can be imported as follows:

import altair as alt
import json

Altair gives a consistent interface to the Vega-Lite grammar. You can install it with:

pip install altair vega vega_datasets

Here are 3 reasons why to use graphical grammars:

What is a visualization grammar?

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on Mon, 01/23/2023 - 19:05

A visualization grammar is a set of rules or guidelines that describe how to create visualizations in a consistent and effective way. It defines a common vocabulary and structure for creating and interpreting visualizations, and can be used to create visualizations that are easy to understand and communicate. The grammar can include rules for things like color selection, chart types, and data encoding.

Data visualization tools are software applications that allow users to create and display data in a graphical or pictorial format. They are used to explore, analyze, and communicate data, and to make it more accessible and understandable. Some common types of data visualization tools include:

  • Bar charts, line charts, and scatter plots: These tools are used to create basic charts and plots that are commonly used to display data trends over time or to compare values across different categories.

Can machine learning algorithms be patented?

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on Sat, 01/21/2023 - 18:18

Yes, but not easily. In the United States, the patentability is determined by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO). To be patentable, an invention must be novel, non-obvious, and useful. In this case, novelty and non-obviousness can be difficult to demonstrate. This is because many machine learning algorithms are based on existing techniques and can be seen as an obvious extension of prior art.

1. Don’t use a neural net if there’s another way
See Sklearn machine learning roadmap for ideas
2. Don’t leak data across datasets,
...and also, Validation is not test
3. Plan for data preparation
Use the table in the data readiness article to communicate the state of readiness.
4. Capture a baseline model

What does data visualization mean?

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on Mon, 08/22/2022 - 04:02

Data visualization is essential to data science and machine learning. Visualization aids in understanding the data and improving model performance, which is why visualization is effective in every step of the analytical process. It can help the scientist understand patterns in the data, like trends and outliers, which can drive data transformation and model hyperparameter tuning. Data visualization can also help communicate the data shortcomings and model interpretation to stakeholders.

TensorFlow or PyTorch?

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on Tue, 08/02/2022 - 21:06

Tensorflow 2.0 with Keras (TF2) has been popular for deploying production-level machine learning applications, and PyTorch has been the favorite in classroooms. But PyTorch has been gaining ground on TensorFlow, which to use, and do you have to choose?

Firstly, you can't "mix" in TF2 to PyTorch programs because neither framework is purely python code, and they each have their own compiled C++ backends. Rather, pick one framework or the other for an application, to avoid having problematic conflicts in the CUDA environment.
