(You're welcome to open it in Google Sheets and make a copy.) 2 0 obj /Length 3458 This paper presents a Classification Algorithms Comparison Pipeline (CACP) for comparing newly developed classification algorithms in Python with other commonly used classifiers to evaluate classification performance, reproducibility, and statistical reliability. Near the end of this 11-week course, we spend a few hours reviewing the material that has been covered throughout the course, with the hope that students will start to construct mental connections between all of the different things they have learned. Code examples and output results are explained and detailed to provide the basics of the module and give an overview of its capabilities.

<< Are there any other "important" dimensions for comparison that should be added to this table?

Although there is some value in the "brute force" approach (try everything and see what works best), there is a lot more value in being able to understand the trade-offs you're making when choosing one algorithm over another. %PDF-1.2 In the data science course that I instruct, we cover most of the data science pipeline but focus especially on machine learning. Second, I want to make it better, and one way to do that is to ask people more knowledgeable than me to tell me what I got wrong!

(Currently, it only includes algorithms that were taught in my course. I couldn't find a table like this on the Internet, so I decided to construct one myself! >> We have used publicly available datasets.

Here's what I came up with: I wanted to share this table for two reasons: First, I thought it might be useful to others as a teaching or learning tool. <=6}. I decided to create a game for the students, in which I gave them a blank table listing the supervised learning algorithms we covered and asked them to compare the algorithms across a dozen different dimensions. /Filter /FlateDecode However, I would argue that there is still value in providing this table as a set of general guidelines and as a starting point for comparing algorithms for your own supervised learning task. ).

CACP simplifies the entire classifier evaluation process. Are there any other algorithms that you would like me to add to this table? If you have a suggestion for how this table can be improved, I'd love to hear it in the comments! l`@CE:NQ+|#CuC\Jn HR Rd\7qLaZyQBW8MzN@vBMx;3sW/F\2ee.%:2(EWZ)FKTG. l9cSBMm7 I realize that the characteristics and relative performance of each algorithm can vary based upon the particulars of the data (and how well it is tuned), and thus some may argue that attempting to construct an "objective" comparison is an ill-advised task. One of the skills that I want students to be able to take away from this course is the ability to intelligently choose between supervised learning algorithms when working a machine learning problem. Besides teaching model evaluation procedures and metrics, we obviously teach the algorithms themselves, primarily for supervised learning.
