I recently took part in a challenge by Hostelworld. The challenge proposed by Hostelworld is to build a recommendation engine for users. Recommendations can save Recommendations can save travellers valuable time, improve their hostel experience, and increase user retention. This challenge will use user information, reviews, and hostel details. This is a link for Exploratory […]
Visualisation is the presentation of data in a pictorial or graphical format. It enables decision makers to see analytics presented visually, so they can grasp difficult concepts or identify new patterns. This visualisation of house prices is for the Kaggle dataset. With 79 explanatory variables describing (almost) every aspect of residential homes in Ames, Iowa, […]
These are mainly notes for myself to win a Data Science competition , but I figured that they might be of interest to some of the blog readers too. Comments on what is written below are most welcome! Typically, steps 1-5 would happen once per competition or problem, while steps 6-9 would be repeated in a […]
Feature Engineering is the art/science of representing data is the best way possible. This is the comprehensive guide for Feature Engineering for myself but I figured that they might be of interest to some of the blog readers too. Comments on what is written below are most welcome! Good Feature Engineering involves an elegant blend […]

These are my notes from various blogs to find different ways to predict survival on Titanic using Python-stack. This is continued from part 2 3. Way to predict survival on Titianic These notes are from this link I – Exploratory data analysis We tweak the style of this notebook a little bit to have centered plots. […]
These are my notes from various blogs to find different ways to predict survival on Titanic using Python-stack. I am interested to compare how different people have attempted the kaggle competition. I am going to compare and contrast different analysis to find similarity and difference in approaches to predict survival on Titanic. This Notebook will […]
