Problem - What are we trying to solve? Let's assume you have the beginnings of a simple distributed system: You use redis as your event queueYou have a "master" python script that pickles a python class, and sends it to your redis queueYou have a "worker" python script that waits for a new event, unpickles … Continue reading Python Pickling in the cloud (or how to get python to execute code it hasn’t seen yet)

Exploring Gaussian Process vs Linear Regression

Posted on by David Vassallo

Linear regression is often one of the first algorithms that data analysts are introduced to. The intuition is simple: find the best line that fits a given data set. For example, given the below data set: you'd probably answer with something along these lines: That is, in fact, the answer given by Linear Regression. However, … Continue reading Exploring Gaussian Process vs Linear Regression
