Running tests in parallel really helped us reduce the time it takes us to run the tests.
rangerranvir··on Learning Python, data structures and algorithms through photos
Really liked what you have shared. UX is not that great though, not sure I am unable to click on stuff.
rangerranvir··on Console tool for soccer scores and fixtures in Python
This is great. Thanks for sharing. Would love to know how you did it. Why haven't you used some kind json API?
rangerranvir··on Personal telegram bot for your readers
Please refresh once if you don't see the, `Join the beta List` button.

Wanted to do show HN, but the rules page shows that you can't post if the product is not ready to use for the users.

I am not sure if it can be directly used for now, but you can get the gist by clicking on `Join the beta List` button.

Please try it out and let me what do you think of the idea.

rangerranvir··on Machine learning for beginners – MP Neuron
Thanks for appreciating.
rangerranvir··on Introduction to Support Vector Machines in Machine Learning
Since, I am here. I would like to take a small feedback about the general structure of the website and how it feels.

If someone has a suggestion on how I can improve the user experience feel free to hop in and let me know.

rangerranvir··on Introduction to Support Vector Machines in Machine Learning
We can definitely learn a piece from such an experienced practitioner. Thanks for sharing, I think your intuition matches with the other experienced once in the comments.
rangerranvir··on Introduction to Support Vector Machines in Machine Learning
Thanks for saying that. Means a lot.
rangerranvir··on Introduction to Support Vector Machines in Machine Learning
Thanks for early warning. Will have to keep that in mind.
rangerranvir··on Introduction to Support Vector Machines in Machine Learning
Great Point! I do read article where someone builds such cool stuff every now and then to keep in mind what's coming.

Anyway whatever works. Ultimate aim is to learn and have fun.

Random question, do you guys have tried linear regression in place of Adam and was there a significant change in the training time?

And on what data you decide to move on to NN based model rather than using a simpler models like linear regression etc?

rangerranvir··on Introduction to Support Vector Machines in Machine Learning
Thanks for sharing, looks promising.
rangerranvir··on Introduction to Support Vector Machines in Machine Learning
Thanks a ton for these. Added this to things I know that I don't know list. ;)
rangerranvir··on Introduction to Support Vector Machines in Machine Learning
Great Points. Really appreciated. Will have to put extra effort to learn about the feature engineering part of the problem.

Also, if you know a few things about the data it becomes a little easier to explain what your model is doing and why it is producing those results.

Found a good resource which explained the trust component: https://arxiv.org/pdf/1602.04938.pdf

Anyway the idea of NNs was introduced to work on data which a simple human brain couldn't make sense of.

For more general tabular data, like trees, regression and even rule based models are more realistic.

rangerranvir··on Introduction to Support Vector Machines in Machine Learning
Thanks for the advice. Will definitely try to follow that. I was trying to learn basics of statistics and went through most of the intro to statistical learning. Will complete the rest in few days.

I am more of a book person, if you have any other resource for probabilistic graphical models, please share here.

rangerranvir··on Introduction to Support Vector Machines in Machine Learning
Thanks for sharing. You actually shared a full playlist. Won't be able to get up before finishing a few of them.
rangerranvir··on Introduction to Support Vector Machines in Machine Learning
Nice, Thanks for sharing.

Good post! I really liked the concept of ROC curve in there. Will read more about it.
rangerranvir··on Building RESTful APIs with Java Spring Boot Framework – For Beginners
A few days ago, I was learning about how to write restful APIs using the Spring Boot framework, and I was able to come up with this.

Also, Let me know, how does it looks and is there any other approach followed in the industry?

rangerranvir··on How to evaluate your Machine learning model like a pro
A few days ago, I was learning about evaluating my Machine Learning Model and I have compiled the things that I learned during the period. Do let me know how I did with this.

Also, Let me know, how do you like to evaluate your Machine Learning Model?

How do you validate your request parameters in your Nodejs application?
rangerranvir··on Mongo Aggregates and How to explain mongo aggregate queries
Explaining your queries before deploying gives you a lot of advantage and help you provide better user experience by providing result faster. What process do you use so that your queries are well optimized?
rangerranvir··on Just started a blog, any feedback?
Linkable posts are always useful. If you are worried about the effort. Please have a look at the one that I own. https://ranvir.xyz/blog/.

The basic version, https://github.com/barryclark/jekyll-now

I also use the basic CMS, https://siteleaf.com to manage it.

rangerranvir··on Asking questions is a skill: Lessons from 10 years of Stack Overflow
I personally have used stack overflow in all my projects and the community helps in stating the questions correctly.

The guideline of asking the questions is also very helpful. Even if your questions get marked as irrelevant, it's great learning as they clearly state the reason for the rejection.

P.S: I am a big fan of their yearly survey.

rangerranvir··on Just started a blog, any feedback?
There are no separate links for your posts. Not sure how have you created them, but you might want to try

- WordPress - Blogger

or best for programmers.

- Jekyll https://jekyllrb.com/

and hosting it on GitHub pages.

Let me know if you need help setting it up.
