It’s used to predict values within a continuous range, (e.g. sales, price) rather than trying to classify them into categories (e.g. cat, dog). There are two main types: Simple regression Simple linear regression uses traditional slope-intercept form, where m and b are the variables our algorithm will try to “learn” to produce the most accurate predictions.

Since these issues have attracted attention from the public, and certain legislations are being put in place regulating the usage of machine learning in certain domains, the industry has been catching up with the topic and a few groups have been developing toolboxes to allow practitioners incorporate fairness constraints into their pipelines and make their models more transparent and accountable. AIF360 and fairlearn are just two examples available in Python. On the machine learning side, scikit-learn has been one of the most commonly used libraries which has been extended by third party libraries such as XGBoost and imbalanced-learn. However, when it comes to incorporating fairness constraints in a usual scikit- learn pipeline, there are challenges and limitations related to the API, which has made developing a scikit-learn compatible fairness focused package challenging and hampering the adoption of these tools in the industry. In this talk, we start with a common classification pipeline, then we assess fairness/bias of the data/outputs using disparate impact ratio as an example metric, and finally mitigate the unfair outputs and search for hyperparameters which give the best accuracy while satisfying fairness constraints.

AHMAD FAISAL AMRI BIN ABIDIN@BHARUN CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 BACKGROUND Today, spam has become a big trouble over the internet. Up to 2017, the statistic shown spam accounted for 55%of all e-mail messages, same as during the previous year [1]. Spam which is also known as unsolicited bulk email has led to the increasing use of email as email provides the perfect ways to send the unwanted advertisement or junk newsgroup posting at no cost for the sender. This chances has been extensively exploited by irresponsible organizations and resulting to clutter the mail boxes of millions of people all around the world. Evolving from a minor to major concern, given the high offensive content of messages, spam is a waste of time. It also consumed a lot of storage space and communication bandwidth. End user is at risk of deleting legitimate mail by mistake. Moreover, spam also impacted the economical which led some countries to adopt legislation. Text classification is used to determine the path of incoming mail/message either into inbox or straight to spam folder. It is the process of assigning categories to text according to its content. It is used to organized, structures and categorize text. It can be done either manually or automatically. Machine learning automatically classifies the text in a much faster way than manual technique.

  • Azureml: Anatomy of a Machine Learning Service
    JMLR: Workshop and Conference Proceedings 50:1–13, 2016 PAPIs 2015 AzureML: Anatomy of a machine learning service AzureML Team, Microsoft ∗ 1 Memorial Drive, Cambridge, MA 02142 Editor: Louis Dorard, Mark D. Reid and Francisco J. Martin Abstract In this paper, we describe AzureML, a web service that provides a model authoring en- vironment where data scientists can create machine learning models and publish them easily (http://www.azure.com/ml). In addition, AzureML provides several distinguishing features. These include: (a) collaboration, (b) versioning, (c) visual workflows, (d) exter- nal language support, (e) push-button operationalization, (f) monetization and (g) service tiers. We outline the system overview, design principles and lessons learned in building such a system. Keywords: Machine learning, predictive API 1. Introduction With the rise of big-data, machine learning has moved from being an academic interest to providing competitive advantage to data driven companies. Previously, building such predic- tive systems required deep expertise in machine learning as well as scalable software engineer- ing. Recent trends have democratized machine learning and made building predictive appli- cations far easier. Firstly, the emergence of machine learning libraries such as scikit-learn Pe- dregosa et al.(2011), WEKA Holmes et al.(1994), Vowpal Wabbit Langford et al.(2007) etc. and open source languages like R R Development Core Team(2011) and Julia Bezanson et al. (2012) have made building machine learning models easier even without machine learning expertise. Secondly, scalable data frameworks Zaharia et al.(2010); Low et al.(2010) have provided necessary infrastructure for handling large amounts of data. Operationalizing mod- els built this way still remains a challenge.

Research) and written by John Langford along with a number of contributors. This R package does not include the distributed computing implementation of the cluster/ directory of the upstream sources. Use of the software as a network service is also not directly supported as the aim is a simpler direct call from R for validation and comparison. Note that this package contains an embedded older version of 'Vowpal Wabbit'. The package 'rvw' at the GitHub repo <https://github.com/eddelbuettel/rvw> can provide an alternative using an external 'Vowpal Wabbit' library installation.
