This spring, I’ll be giving talks at a couple of Meetups and conferences: March, 26th: At the data lounge Bremen, I’ll be talking about Explainable Machine Learning April, 11th: At the Data Science Meetup Bielefeld, I’ll be talking about Bu...

In our next MünsteR R-user group meetup on Tuesday, April 9th, 2019, we will have two exciting talks: Getting started with RMarkdown and Trying to make it in the world of Kaggle! You can RSVP here: http://meetu.ps/e/Gg5th/w54bW/f Getting started ...

Today, I am happy to announce the launch of our codecentric.AI Bootcamp! This bootcamp is a free online course for everyone who wants to learn hands-on machine learning and AI techniques, from basic algorithms to deep learning, computer vision and NLP....

Disclaimer: Manning publications gave me the ebook version of Beyond Spreadsheets with R - A beginner’s guide to R and RStudio by Dr. Jonathan Carroll free of charge. Beyond Spreadsheets with R shows you how to take raw data and transform it for use in computations, tables, graphs, and ...

In the past, I have written and taught quite a bit about image classification with Keras (e.g. here). Text classification isn’t too different in terms of using the Keras principles to train a sequential or function model. You can even use Convolutional Neural Nets (CNNs) for text classification. ...

I am very happy to announce that (after many months) my interactive course on Hyperparameter Tuning in R has now been officially launched on Data Camp! Course Description For many machine learning problems, simply running a model out-of-the-box ...

As with the other videos from our codecentric.ai Bootcamp (Random Forests, Neural Nets & Gradient Boosting), I am again sharing an English version of the script (plus R code) for this most recent addition on How Convolutional Neural Nets work. In this lesson, I am going to explain how computers ...

In our next MünsteR R-user group meetup on Tuesday, February 5th, 2019, titled Don’t reinvent the wheel: making use of shiny extension packages., Suthira Owlarn will introduce the shiny package and show how she used it to build an interactive we...

Registration is now open for my 1.5-day workshop on how to develop end-2-end from a Keras/TensorFlow model to production. It will take place on February 21st & 22nd in Berlin, Germany. Please register by sending an email to [email protected]...

This is code that accompanies a book chapter on customer churn that I have written for the German dpunkt Verlag. The book is in German and will probably appear in February: https://www.dpunkt.de/buecher/13208/9783864906107-data-science.html. The code you find below can be used to recreate all figures ...

Here you find my slides from last nights TWiML & AI EMEA Meetup about Trust in ML models, where I presented the Anchors paper by Carlos Guestrin et al.. I have also just written two articles for the German IT magazin iX about the same topic of...

In a recent video, I covered Random Forests and Neural Nets as part of the codecentric.ai Bootcamp. In the most recent video, I covered Gradient Boosting and XGBoost. You can find the video on YouTube and the slides on slides.com. Both are again in German with code examples ...

At the upcoming This week in machine learning and AI European online Meetup, I’ll be presenting and leading a discussion about the Anchors paper, the next generation of machine learning interpretability tools. Come and join the fun! :-) Date: Tuesda...

In my last blogpost about Random Forests I introduced the codecentric.ai Bootcamp. The next part I published was about Neural Networks and Deep Learning. Every video of our bootcamp will have example code and tasks to promote hands-on learning. While the practical parts of the bootcamp will be using ...

A few colleagues of mine and I from codecentric.ai are currently working on developing a free online course about machine learning and deep learning. As part of this course, I am developing a series of videos about machine learning basics - the first v...

The last two days, I was in London for the M-cubed conference. Here are the slides from my talk about Explaining complex machine learning models with LIME: Traditional machine learning workflows focus heavily on model training and optimization; the be...
