Dear friends,
Welcome to the 173rd edition of the Sunday Briefing. We’re happy to announce our latest post in the Viz4Sci series: Photo Color Scheme. You can also catch up on the latest post on the G4Sci series: Kahn’s Algorithm for Topological Sorting, while at Medium you’ll find “Exploring the Dow-Jones Industrial Average using Linear Regression”.
In recent weeks, several of you have reached out asking how they can help support the work we do here at Data For Science. While the Sunday Briefing is a labour of love and will always remain free, it is not without costs and any help is appreciated.
If you wish to support our work, there are several options:
- Paid subscription to Graphs for Science or Visualization for Science which gives you complete access to the archive of previous posts.
- Subscribe to Medium using our referral link and at no extra cost to you
- Directly through a one-time PayPal donation.
This week we have the latest edition of the Applied Probability Theory for Everyone webinar coming up on Tuesday, Sept 27 so don’t forget to Register, so you don’t miss out.
On our regularly scheduled content we implement Decision Trees From Scratch With Python, explore Machine Learning for Fraud Detection in Streaming Services and dive into a step by step guide to Web Scraping with Python.
On the academic front we learn about weak ties, failed tries, and success, the beginning of the Monte-Carlo method, how to compute the Basic reproduction number of epidemic models on sparse networks and about Link prediction in complex networks based on communication capacity and local paths.
As always you can find all the previous book recommendations on our website. In the video of the week we have a tutorial on Natural Language Processing With Python and NLTK.
Data shows that the best way for a newsletter to grow is by word of mouth, so if you think one of your friends or colleagues would enjoy this newsletter, just go ahead and forward this email to them. This will help us spread the word!
