Extraction

x https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dEt4sprqwLg It’s been almost two and a half years since Extraction exploded out of the block to seize the crown as Netflix’s single most-watched original movie of all-time, and while it’s been overtaken at the head of the pack, Chris Hemsworth’s Tyler Rake is coming back with a vengeance and gunning for the top spot once more. The sequel may have lost the element of surprise, but with director Sam Hargrave already having proven himself as an expert when it comes to crafting…

Exploring the metadata and color-related features of a photo image for further use in Analytics and MLWhen working with image data, object recognition and its application have always been on top of mind for Data Analysts and Data Scientists. There has been very little focus on utilizing the metadata from these images. Truth is, we can get quite a lot of insights from the image metadata alone. In this article, I’ll be sharing how we can extract some prominent metadata-related features from an image (photo) file to further…

Data ScienceWhy Word2Vec is better, and why it’s not good enoughPhoto by Tamara Bellis on Unsplash, edited by authorWhile image data is straightforward to be used by deep learning models (RGB value as the input), this is not the case for text data. Deep learning models only work on numbers, not sequences of symbols like texts. So, you need a way to somehow extract meaningful numerical feature vectors from texts. This is called feature extraction.From now on, we will call a single observation of text by document and a…

How a machine learns to extract text from human-given text highlightsSuppose a financial analyst wishes to analyze changes in crime rates over the years. She has a dataset of financial press releases for a company. She has to extract all the revenues and incomes from the dataset. She wants to produce a table similar to this for further analysis.Additionally, she may also want to automate this process such that if her dataset of press releases grows, then she can easily extract the new revenue and income…

Coffee Data ScienceExamining Years of Shot DataOften when I publish results related to espresso, I get a similar criticism: your taste is subjective (therefore just an opinion) and extraction yield (the most quantifiable metric for coffee) doesn’t correlate to taste; therefore you did a bunch of nothing.I wanted to address this using data, and I have collected quite a bit over the years. Over 4 years of data collection, I have data on 3,000 espresso shots, and if there is a correlation between extraction yield and taste,…

Sarle is a customizable technique for extracting structured abnormality and location labels automatically from the free-text reportsPhoto by Fran Jacquier on UnsplashClassification labels specifying the presence and absence of abnormalities are necessary to train computer vision models on radiology images. However, obtaining these classification labels by hand is time-consuming and limits the size of the final dataset as well as the number of abnormalities that can be considered. In this post we’ll overview an easily…
