How I loaded the files in python I used joblib to save the files from sklearn.externals import joblib feature_list = count_vect.get_feature_names() model = "model105" joblib.dump(feature_list, model + '_vocabulary.pkl') joblib.dump(tfidf_transformer, model + '_transform.pkl') joblib.dump(

Part of this entire writeup Goal Find a model to accurately predict a relevant XKCD given multiple words (a reddit comment). This essentially gave me a bunch of positively single-labeled data since each comment usually only had one "relevant XKCD" sub-comment attached. Example: Searching "Python" would

So I embarked on a machine learning quest. Here are my notes on how I obtained the data. My first attempt a few months ago was to download the entire Reddit Corpus (in CSV form) and manually parse the comments. However, it soon became clear the my computer took way

So I embarked on a machine learning quest as a senior project. With all these advances in AI, I wanted to have some fun myself :P. You can view it here. I was inspired by Dan Zhang and Megan Ruthven's Relevant XKCD finder. They used ExplainXKCD to populate

This article requires knowledge of Ruby, the concept of webscraping, and HTML. Make sure you have Ruby installed (use RVM if you don't have it yet) -- I'm using 2.3.1 right now. If you want a reference sheet, I'm in the process

My programming environment is quite nice on a chromebook. Although my chromebook is not the top of the line, ASUS C201 11.6 Inch, it does allow me to push some quick updates and do a bit of local testing for debugging. Note: When I compile and run, there is

Check out IMswimmer here! The thing with big non-profit organizations is that they usually split themselves into regional branches that have their own management and way of doing things. This means that there are very few standards that are permeated to all the regions. I've noticed this problem

So you want to do USACO? Make sure you actually like it and aren't doing it because you want it on your college resume! (See previous article) I'm going to assume that you understand USACO well enough and competed in some competitions/looked at some problems

Signatures are truly a work of art. As they mature through age, they become more flowing, graceful, and elegant. I remember the days during my childhood, when, after meticulously writing my name in cursive, I would broadly proclaim: "Look at this beautiful signature." It was a long journey

Have you ever noticed how mobile sites are taking longer and longer to load? When I want read the news on the LA Times, they first load all the fancy animations (while I'm staring at a white page), and then finally the article appears. I understand why it

I 100% admit that I don't know any programming language 100%. I have to look at a cheat sheet every single time I program. Especially for students in high school like me, I don't really see the point in memorizing all the functions and syntax structures

I recently got a Raspberry Pi much to my delight... until I realized that as a software-focused developer, the Pi has very little use for me. Sure it's great to have, but honestly it's pretty useless. I looked at a lot of open sourced projects but
