Measuring the Social Media Popularity of Pages with DEA in JAVA
In the previous article we have discussed about the Data Envelopment Analysis technique and we have seen how it can be used as an effective non-parametric ranking algorithm. In this blog post we will develop an implementation of Data Envelopment Analysis in JAVA and we will use it to evaluate the Social Media Popularity of […]
Data Envelopment Analysis Tutorial
Data Envelopment Analysis, also known as DEA, is a non-parametric method for performing frontier analysis. It uses linear programming to estimate the efficiency of multiple decision-making units and it is commonly used in production, management and economics. The technique was first proposed by Charnes, Cooper and Rhodes in 1978 and since then it became a […]
How to build your own Facebook Sentiment Analysis Tool
In this article we will discuss how you can build easily a simple Facebook Sentiment Analysis tool capable of classifying public posts (both from users and from pages) as positive, negative and neutral. We are going to use Facebook’s Graph API Search and the Datumbox API 1.0v. Similar to the Twitter Sentiment Analysis tool that […]
Developing a Naive Bayes Text Classifier in JAVA
In previous articles we have discussed the theoretical background of Naive Bayes Text Classifier and the importance of using Feature Selection techniques in Text Classification. In this article, we are going to put everything together and build a simple implementation of the Naive Bayes text classification algorithm in JAVA. The code of the classifier is […]
how I built a self driving RC car and you can too
Recently, I have been refreshing my knowledge of Machine Learning by taking Andrew Ng’s excellent Stanford Machine Learning course online. The lecture module on Neural Networks ends with an intriging motivating video of the ALVINN autonomous car driving itself along normal roads at CMU in the mid 90s.
