The most important factor in good machine learning systems is the quality of data. A model’s performance lives or dies by the data used to train it.

Unfortunately, for the longest time I did not rigorously analyze my model or even input data. My typical approach is …

Artificial intelligence have made significant transformations, both good and bad, to various applications and industries. Yet to a lot of the layman, putting so much faith in obscure deep learning algorithms is like opening the Pandora’s box. After all, how can the models be trusted if how they work is …

A common task for GIS (geographic information systems) engineers is to extract regions from a map. Given a TIFF file and some coordinates (in dataframes or other tabular form), the regions of interest are cropped using slicing or some other indexing methods.
