Projects
We are happy to admit that we are really big nerds who love to play around with data and code. Due to this hobby we have a lot of (big and small) fun projects. We couldn’t resist sharing some of our projects with you. Enjoy!
Using Reinforcement Learning to play Snake
Oh nostalgia! Remember, our old little Nokia phones, playing snake for hours and hours. Well, we felt like traveling back in time, but with a glance of today’s technology. That is why we decided it would be fun to use reinforcement learning to teach our computer to play snake.
Beatles Lyrics Generator
In 1964, the Beatles released their iconic song “I Want to Hold Your Hand”. Since then, the Fab Four have become one of the most influential bands in music history. Now, fifty years later, you can generate your own Beatles lyrics using AI. Join us, as we dive into how AI can be used to generate text, with a focus on music lyrics, Beatles styles of course.
Monitoring your models in production (Model Drift)
Predictive models used in business processes are prone to loose their business value over time. This can be due to model drift or a result of unforeseen side-effects of automatically retraining the model. Here we explain what model drift is and why (automatic) retraining can be a good way to deal with it. And we discuss reasons why retraining should be done with care, since it can also have unanticipated effects. Most of all, we advocate to closely monitor and set up alerting to track performance of your models and we provide tips on how to do that.
The Data Science workflow
Let us guide you through the decisions we make on daily basis as Data Scientist. Along the way we show you why different people would make different decisions and what they could learn from each other.
