GallerySo you’re working on a text classification problem. You’re refining your training set, and maybe you’ve even tried stuff out using Naive Bayes. But now you’re feeling confident in your dataset, and want to take it one step further. Enter Support Vector Machines (SVM): a fast and dependable classification algorithm that performs very well with a limited amount of data. […]
A practical explanation of a Naive Bayes classifier
The simplest solutions are usually the most powerful ones, and Naive Bayes is a good proof of that. In spite of the great advances of the Machine Learning in the last years, it has proven to not only be simple but also fast, accurate and reliable. It has been successfully used for many purposes, but it works particularly well with natural language processing (NLP) problems. […]

Donald Trump has been elected 45th president of the United States of America and the surprising outcome has been reflected on the conversation on social media.
We recently released a simple tool called Tarsier that uses machine learning to analyze the conversation around the US elections […]
Donald Trump vs Hillary Clinton: sentiment analysis on Twitter mentions
Election day looms closer and closer every week. US Politics are rapidly becoming the preferred conversation topic for millions of Americans and non-Americans worldwide. What are these people saying? What do they think? What are their opinions? How do they feel?
We are using machine learning to find out! For the past few months, we’ve […]
Know your followers with Machine Learning
GalleryTell me who your followers are and I tell you who you are.
You have lots of followers, congrats! You’re popular, maybe an influencer. But, do you actually know who’s following you?
If you have thousands of followers, that could be a tricky question to answer. Let’s use Machine Learning to try to answer that question.
