Kaggle Courses

From April 2020 to June 2021 I was a data scientist with Kaggle, where I developed courses for their Learn platform.

Intro to Deep Learning

Description: Use TensorFlow and Keras to build and train neural networks for structured data.

  1. A Single Neuron - Learn about linear units, the building blocks of deep learning.
  2. Deep Neural Networks - Add hidden layers to your network to uncover complex relationships.
  3. Stochastic Gradient Descent - Use Keras and Tensorflow to train your first neural network.
  4. Overfitting and Underfitting - Improve performance with extra capacity or early stopping.
  5. Dropout and Batch Normalization - Add these special layers to prevent overfitting and stabilize training.
  6. Binary Classification - Apply deep learning to another common task.
  7. (Bonus) Detecting the Higgs Boson with TPUs

Computer Vision

Description: Build convolutional neural networks with TensorFlow and Keras.

  1. The Convolutional Classifier - Create your first computer vision model with Keras.
  2. Convolution and ReLU - Discover how convnets create features with convolutional layers.
  3. Maximum Pooling - Learn more about feature extraction with maximum pooling.
  4. The Sliding Window - Explore two important parameters: stride and padding.
  5. Custom Convnets - Design your own convnet.
  6. Data Augmentation - Boost performance by creating extra training data.
  7. (Bonus) Join the Petals to the Metal Competition

Feature Engineering

Description: Better features make better models. Discover how to get the most out of your data.

  1. What is Feature Engineering - Learn the steps and principles of creating better features.
  2. Mutual Information - Locate the features with the most potential.
  3. Creating Features - Transform features with Pandas.
  4. Clustering with K-Means - Untangle complex spatial relationships with cluster labels.
  5. Principal Component Analysis - Discover new features by analyzing variation.
  6. Target Encoding - Boost any categorical feature with this powerful technique.
  7. (Bonus) Feature Engineering for the House Prices Competition

Other Work

I also completed some shorter projects.
