Recently, I had to inspect quite large MySQL database. I wanted quick analysis of the database. First thought was what tool to use for such task? And there are many..

It’s not an exaggeration to say that artificial intelligence (AI) has the potential to change the way businesses operate, affecting almost every industry, and leading to the creation of countless new job opportunities. While you can learn some of the fundamental concepts of artificial intelligence using books, online resources and tutorials, it’s important to practice them in real-world situations to truly understand how they work.

Cognitive computing is the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in order to solve complex problems that are common in the real world. Cognitive computing is a type of AI that is designed to mimic human intelligence, specifically learning and reasoning. Cognitive computing is a form of AI that is focused on the development of computational models that are inspired by human cognition.

Word clouds are becoming increasingly popular in data science and analytics. They are successors of tag clouds or better said younger siblings. The main difference is that tag clouds are usually made of tags manually written by user(s) or chosen from a predefined list and word clouds are based on some advanced text analytics mostly performed by software algorithms. Word clouds are used as a tool to extract essence of some text corpus and to represent it in a graphic form. Words with the higher frequency are shown bigger and those with lower frequency smaller or even excluded. This is the basic concept but the algorithm is quite a bit more complex. But is it possible to apply the word cloud algorithm on custom text without coding?

There are different methods for website data scrapping and importing it into Excel. In this tutorial we will show you how to do it with Puppeteer, Node JS package. The method using Puppeteer might look scary at first but it’s actually quite easy and what is the most important you can get anything you want from the web page very accurately. Knowing JavaScript is useful but interestingly it’s something you can learn quickly up to the point to be able to scrape data.

There are more and more arm64 CPUs(Central Processing Unit) on the market in different hardware configurations able to run Ubuntu Linux and to run serious processing tasks. Even some cloud services providers included arm64 processors to their offer. One of the biggest names in the cloud industry, Oracle, offers interesting always free virtual machine instances based on Ampere Arm chip. With these virtual machines, besides Always free plan, you get better scaling performance meaning more controlled price performance ratio than with x86 architecture CPUs. It’s also nice to know that cloud company won’t bill your credit card unless you explicitly change your pricing plan which is not the always the case in the cloud industry. Installing Puppeteer on arm64 processors is still bit more complicated than on x86 CPUs, so to make it as straight forward as possible read on.

There are many ways how to scrape data from a website. You can do it with almost any programming language out there but with variable success. Nowadays it’s bit harder to be successful in website data scraping because many websites use advanced web technologies, progressive web and what not. In other words it’s not just parsing static HTML but getting access to DOM(Document Object Model) of webpage because it’s usually interactively modified meaning when you interact with webpage new parts of HTML are added and some parts removed on the fly.

In this article, we are going to take a look at logistic or logit regression, and we are going to learn the differences between binary, multinomial, and ordinal logistic regression.
…

In this article, we are going to investigate what are outliers in linear regression, why and when are they important, and what should we do about them – should we remove them from the data presentation or not.
…

Linear regression is also known as ordinary least squares (OLS) and linear least squares, and it opens the doors into the regression world. Linear regression is one of the most widely known modeling techniques and is usually among the first few topics that people master when they learn predictive modeling. We differentiate between a simple and multiple linear regression, and in this article, we’re going to focus on these two.
