Brian Lange | It's Not Magic: Explaining Classification Algorithms

PyData Chicago 2016
As organizations increasingly make use of data and machine learning methods, people must build a basic "data literacy". Data scientist & instructor Brian Lange provides simple, visual & equation-free explanations for a variety of classification algorithms geared towards helping understand them. He shows how the concepts explained can be pulled off using Python library Scikit Learn in a few lines. 00:00 Welcome!

A great run through of the classification models available in SciKit-Learn and their characteristics. Thanks!!

1 st time I understand about classification algos and how they work. Especially when you create model and take new data and see how the models work.

23:00 why "not spam" passed from yes to no?

A bit simplified, but considering that he mentioned it was geared to people with a weak background in math/stats, it was well put together.
