Reading Time: 4 minutes Ensemble methods are techniques that create multiple models and then combine them to produce improved results. Ensemble learning usually produces more accurate solutions than a single model would. This has been the case in a number of machine learning competitions and, where the winning solutions used ensemble methods. Ensemble methods You must ensure that your models are independent of one another and when creating a Continue Reading
Reading Time: 4 minutes Overview In earlier blogs I discussed about play framework now lets we move to further topics on play. For building simple, CRUD-style REST APIs in Scala, the Play Framework is a good solution. It has an uncomplicated API that doesn’t require us to write too much code. In this blog, we’re going to build a REST API in Scala with Play. We’ll use JSON as Continue Reading
