Beautiful Plots: The Violin

Beautiful Plots: The Violin

Music to my ears... err... eyes? The violin plot is a worthy tool for any data visualization tool box. Let's build one, in Plotly, as we explore historic birth trends in the USA!

Beautiful Plots: The Lollipop

Beautiful Plots: The Lollipop

The lollipop chart is great at visualizing differences in variables along a single axis. In this post, we create an elegant lollipop chart, in Matplotlib, to show the differences in model performance.

Beautiful Plots: The Decision Boundary

Beautiful Plots: The Decision Boundary

How can we communicate complex concepts using data visualization tools? In this first post -- in a series titled 'Beautiful Plots' -- we build an elegant chart demonstrating the decision boundary from a KNN classifier.

Building a Variational Autoencoder - Advances in Condition Monitoring, Pt VI

Building a Variational Autoencoder - Advances in Condition Monitoring, Pt VI

In this post, we'll explore the variational autoencoder (VAE) and see how we can build one for use on the UC Berkeley milling data set. A variational autoencoder is more expressive than a regular autoencoder, and this feature can be exploited for anomaly detection.

Data Exploration - Advances in Condition Monitoring, Pt V

Data Exploration - Advances in Condition Monitoring, Pt V

Data exploration is an important first step in any new data science problem. In this post we introduce a metal machining data set that we'll use to test anomaly detection methods. We'll explore the data set, see how it is structured, and do some data visualization.

Data-Driven Methods - Advances in Condition Monitoring, Pt II

In part two, we give an overview of the two data-driven approaches in condition monitoring; that is, feature engineering and end-to-end deep learning. Which approach should you use? Well, it all depends...
