Gradient Boosting is a machine learning algorithm, used for both classification and regression problems. It works on the principle that many weak learners(eg: shallow trees) can together make a more accurate predictor. How does Gradient Boosting Work? Gradient boosting works by building simpler (weak) prediction models sequentially where each model tries to predict the error …

A pandas Series is a one-dimensional labelled data structure which can hold data such as strings, integers and even other Python objects. It is built on top of numpy array and is the primary data structure to hold one-dimensional data in pandas. In Python, a pandas Series can be created using the constructor pandas.Series(). pandas.Series …
Pivot table in pandas is an excellent tool to summarize one or more numeric variable based on two other categorical variables. Pivot tables are popularly seen in MS Excel files. In python, Pivot tables of pandas dataframes can be created using the command: pandas.pivot_table. You can aggregate a numeric column as a cross tabulation against …
Tokenization is the process of breaking down a piece of text into small units called tokens. A token may be a word, part of a word or just characters like punctuation. It is one of the most foundational NLP task and a difficult one, because every language has its own grammatical constructs, which are often …
