I took some time this morning to pull together all my #rstats tutorials on Kaggle! I've got stuff for everybody from non-programmers to people looking for NLP resources.
Hope y'all find them helpful! 🤓📚💻

I have a big announcement! 🎉
New programmers tend to struggle with putting together the pieces of the puzzle when creating bigger projects.
So, I'm creating a multimedia series on problem solving, breaking down problems, debugging and more.

In our latest post, our Robust & Verified AI team introduces our work on rigorous specification-testing (catching bugs), robust training (eliminating bugs) and formal verification (proving the absence of bugs) of ML models.

I've made this cheat sheet and I think it's important. Most stats 101 tests are simple linear models - including "non-parametric" tests. It's so simple we should only teach regression. Avoid confusing students with a zoo of named tests. lindeloev.github.io/tests-as… 1/n

I recently started a series called 'Equations of Data Science'. This is the first picture in the series. Please share it with the community if you find it useful.

I'm going to attempt to crack a password in a SQL database to help fight crime in this video. In order to do so, we'll have to learn about the fundamental topics in Discrete Math (combinatorics, graph theory, set theory, number theory, logic, & recursion) youtu.be/LGt4PE7-ATI

My PhD thesis Neural Transfer Learning for Natural Language Processing is now online. It includes a general review of transfer learning in NLP as well as new material that I hope will be useful to some.

Want to understand #Python exceptions? I highly recommend this post by @ConquerProgram1: conquerprogramming.com/blog/…
New to exceptions? You'll learn how & why to use try/except/else/finally
Already using exceptions? You'll learn how to use exceptions to write more Pythonic code 🐍

In this week's #tidytuesday screencast, I analyze data on board games🎲♟️
This includes fitting a lasso regression model to predict a game's rating, using glmnet, broom, and other #tidyverse packages. Some fun feature engineering and model exploration! youtube.com/watch?v=qirKGdQv…
