Using the latest advancements in deep learning to predict stock price movements

By Boris B34 min read

In this notebook I will create a complete process for predicting stock price movements. Follow along and we will achieve some pretty good results. For that purpose we will use a Generative Adversarial Network (GAN) with LSTM, a type of Recurrent Neural Network, as generator, and a Convolutional Neural Network, CNN, as a discriminator.


Exploratory Design in Data Visualization

By Elijah Meeks and Jason Forrest10 min read

One of the most challenging tasks for a data visualization designer is convincing their stakeholders that an unfamiliar technique is more effective than a common one.


The most important idea in statistics

By Cassie Kozyrkov4 min read

Populations, samples, and hypotheses? Or perhaps you took a course that emphasized probabilities, distributions, p-values, and confidence intervals? All of these are pieces of the puzzle, but they’re downstream from the core.


A Gentle Introduction to Exploratory Data Analysis

Pink singlet, dyed red hair, plated grey beard, no shoes, John Lennon glasses. What a character. Imagine the stories he’d have. He parked his moped and walked into the cafe.


The Reality of Global Nuclear Weapons and How Russian Nukes Turned On Your Lights

On a warm Boston summer in 2018, I was just settling onto the lawn at the Hatch Memorial Shell for a performance of my favorite symphony – Holst’s The Planets – when I saw a tent set up by the Union of Concerned Scientists.


I tracked my happiness each day of 2018

By Nhan Thanh Vu7 min read

I tracked my mental health each day throughout 2018. I rated my happiness on a scale of 1–5, with "1" being a really bad day, "2" being a kind of bad day, "3" being a neutral day, "4" being a kind of good day, and "5" being a really good day.


Who’s That Pokémon?

By Yish Lim5 min read

So I’ve been a lifelong Pokémon fan and a recently-converted Computer Science nerd. While my main interest lies in Data Science (plug for my last post on the Ethics of Data Science), I find myself thinking up random coding projects all the time, most of which never come to fruition.


Top Sources For Machine Learning Datasets

By Will Badr 4 min read

It can be quite hard to find a specific dataset to use for a variety of machine learning problems or to even experiment on. The list below does not only contain great datasets for experimentation but also contains a description, usage examples and in some cases the algorithm code to solve the machine learning problem associated with that dataset.
