The Many Faces of ROC Analysis

Bom tutorial sobre curvas ROC

Receiver Operating Characteristics (ROC) Analysis originated from signal detection theory, as a model of how well a receiver is able to detect a signal in the presence of noise. Its key feature is the distinction between hit rate (or true positive rate) and false alarm rate (or false positive rate) as two separate performance measures. ROC analysis has also widely been used in medical data analysis to study the effect of varying the threshold on the numerical outcome of a diagnostic test. It has been introduced to machine learning relatively recently, in response to classification tasks with varying class distributions or misclassification costs (hereafter referred to as skew). ROC analysis is set to cause a paradigm shift in machine learning. Separating performance on classes is almost always a good idea from an analytical perspective. For instance, it can help us to

  • understand the behaviour and skew-sensitivity of many machine learning metrics, including rule learning heuristics and decision tree splitting criteria, by plotting their isometrics in ROC space;
  • develop new metrics specifically designed to improve the Area Under the ROC Curve (AUC) of a model;
  • understand fundamental algorithms such as the separate-and-conquer or sequential covering rule learning algorithm, by tracing its trajectory through a sequence of ROC spaces.

The goal of this tutorial is to develop the ROC perspective in a systematic way, demonstrating the many faces of ROC analysis in machine learning.

What is Data Virtualization?

Hi I’m Jared Hillam, There are a lot of parts and components that
0:04
go into accurately gathering data. However, at the heart of any well-crafted solution
0:10
is the data integration and query logic. This is the logic that tells the database what
0:17
data is being requested and how to process it. Where that logic exists turns out to be
0:24
a very important topic when all is said and done as you’ll find in this video. To illustrate
0:27
this let me share with you an example. Many years ago I worked for a software company
0:30
that sought out to fix a common problem found in Operational Reporting. We developed a product
0:36
that allowed you to open 1000s of operational reports and edit all of them at once. Why

Music Timeline

Mais uma excelente visualização interativa de dados dos labs da google

Two Google research groups, Big Picture and Music Intelligence, got together and made a music timeline baby.

The Music Timeline shows genres of music waxing and waning, based on how many Google Play Music users have an artist or album in their music library, and other data (such as album release dates). Each stripe on the graph represents a genre; the thickness of the stripe tells you roughly the popularity of music released in a given year in that genre. (For example, the “jazz” stripe is thick in the 1950s since many users’ libraries contain jazz albums released in the ’50s.) Click on the stripes to zoom into more specialized genres.

As you’d expect, the initial view is a stacked area chart that represents the popularity of genres over time, which feels fairly familiar, but then you interact with the stacks and it gets more interesting and almost surprisingly fast. The best part is the pointers to specific albums as you mouse over.

Apache Spark

Uma alternativa ao Hadoop para computação com dados em memória

Uma alternativa ao Hadoop para computação com dados em memória

What is Apache Spark?

Apache Spark is an open source cluster computing system that aims to make data analytics fast — both fast to run and fast to write.

To run programs faster, Spark offers a general execution model that can optimize arbitrary operator graphs, and supports in-memory computing, which lets it query data faster than disk-based engines like Hadoop.

To make programming faster, Spark provides clean, concise APIs in Scala, Java and Python. You can also use Spark interactively from the Scala and Python shells to rapidly query big datasets.

What can it do?

Spark was initially developed for two applications where placing data in memory helps: iterative algorithms, which are common in machine learning, and interactive data mining. In both cases, Spark can run up to 100x faster than Hadoop MapReduce. However, you can use Spark for general data processing too. Check out our example jobs.

Spark is also the engine behind Shark, a fully Apache Hive-compatible data warehousing system that can run 100x faster than Hive.

While Spark is a new engine, it can access any data source supported by Hadoop, making it easy to run over existing data.

What is Apache Mahout?

Um exemplo dos muitos projetos open source for big data

Um exemplo dos muitos projetos open source for big data

The Apache Mahout™ machine learning library’s goal is to build scalable machine learning libraries.

Mahout currently has

  • User and Item based recommenders
  • Matrix factorization based recommenders
  • K-Means, Fuzzy K-Means clustering
  • Latent Dirichlet Allocation
  • Singular value decomposition
  • Logistic regression based classifier
  • Complementary Naive Bayes classifier
  • Random forest decision tree based classifier
  • High performance java collections (previously colt collections)
  • A vibrant community

With scalable we mean:

Scalable to reasonably large data sets. Our core algorithms for clustering, classfication and collaborative filtering are implemented on top of Apache Hadoop using the map/reduce paradigm. However we do not restrict contributions to Hadoop based implementations: Contributions that run on a single node or on a non-Hadoop cluster are welcome as well. The core libraries are highly optimized to allow for good performance also for non-distributed algorithms

Scalable to support your business case. Mahout is distributed under a commercially friendly Apache Software license.

Big Data or Pig Data?

Um conto sobre a necessidade de conhecimento de domínio (teoria)

Um conto sobre a necessidade de conhecimento de domínio (teoria)

(A fable on huge amounts of data and why we don’t need models)

There was a pig who wanted to be a scientist. He was not interested in models. When asked how he planned on making sense of the world, the pig would say in a deep mysterious voice, “I don’t do models: the world is my model” and then with a twinkle in his eyes, look at his interlocutor smugly.

By his phrase, “I don’t do models, the world is my model”, he meant that the world’s data was enough for him, the pig scientist. The more the data, the more accurately the pig declared, he would be able to predict what might happen in the world.

The Field Guide to Data Science

Bom e-book sobre data science

Bom e-book sobre data science

Data Science is the competitive advantage of the future for organizations interested in turning their data into a product through analytics. Industries from health, to national security, to finance, to energy can be improved by creating better data analytics through Data Science. The winners and the losers in the emerging data economy are going to be determined by their Data Science teams.

Booz Allen Hamilton created The Field Guide to Data Science to help organizations of all types and missions understand how to make use of data as a resource. The text spells out what Data Science is and why it matters to organizations as well as how to create Data Science teams. Along the way, our team of experts provides field-tested approaches, personal tips and tricks, and real-life case studies. Senior leaders will walk away with a deeper understanding of the concepts at the heart of Data Science. Practitioners will add to their toolboxes.
