Practical Machine Learning With Python and Scikit Learn

This document summarizes a talk on practical machine learning with Python and Scikit-Learn. The talk introduces machine learning concepts like supervised learning and the different types of learning problems. It also discusses analyzing a diabetes dataset from Pima Indians to predict whether individuals have diabetes. The talk demonstrates applying machine learning to this problem using a Jupyter notebook and Scikit-Learn library in Python. It provides resources for the dataset, Python requirements, and how to stay in contact with the presenter.

WHY THIS TALK?
WHAT YOU ARE GOING TO LEARN

• Approach the problem


• Study the available data
• Find the “best” algorithm
• Make predictions

… in a simple way!
WHAT IS MACHINE LEARNING?
“an application of artificial
intelligence (AI) that provides
systems the ability to automatically
learn and improve from experience
without being explicitly
programmed”
TYPES OF LEARNING
SUPERVISED LEARNING
WHAT YOU NEED

• Find an interesting problem: you can get a free dataset from


http://archive.ics.uci.edu/ml
• Python 3 + virtualenv
• Requirements: jupyter, matplotlib, pandas, numpy, scikit-learn, seaborn
(see requirements.txt for details)
INTRODUCING THE DATASET
PIMA INDIANS
WHO

Pima Indians are a group of native Indians living in south area of Arizona
WHAT HAPPENED?

A group of them moved in a different area and started developing an


increased rate of type 2 diabetes
WHY?

Similar genetic characteristics but different habits. When these people


moved, they adopted a different lifestyle and diet.
CONCLUSION

Type 2 diabetes is largely preventable


DATASET
768 women with 8 characteristics

• Number of times pregnant


• Plasma glucose concentration a 2 hours in an oral glucose tolerance test
• Diastolic blood pressure (mm Hg)
• Triceps skin fold thickness (mm)
• 2-Hour serum insulin (mu U/ml)
• Body mass index (weight in kg/(height in m)^2)
• Diabetes pedigree function
• Age (years)

The last column indicates if the person is affected (1) by diabetes or not (0).
