What data scientists need to know about DevOps

A philosophical and practical guide to using continuous integration (via GitHub Actions) to build an automatic model training system. — With the rapid evolution of machine learning (ML) in the last few years, it’s become trivially easy to begin ML experiments. Thanks to libraries like scikit-learn and Keras, you can make models with a few lines of code. But it’s harder than ever to turn data science projects into meaningful…

I trained a neural network on Red Lobster tweets and all it does is generate apologies

So yeah. I trained an RNN on the collected tweets of Red Lobster and it just generates forlorn apologies to fictitious customers. Does art imitate life? Actual raw, uncurated output: @Minsalarnandra We’re sorry to hear this. Please fill out our form and reference TS14777E in the comments section: https://t.co/vTgR2jXp4w @talesamealleeer…
