In this tutorial, I will elaborate how got I started on the Credit Card Fraud Detection competition on Kaggle. The goal of the task is to automatically identify fraudulent credit card transactions using Machine Learning. My Pythonic approach is explained step-by-step.
Tic-Tac-AI: A Strong Tic-Tac-Toe AI Opponent using Forward Sampling
You want to build your own Tic-Tac-Toe opponent? Then you need to read further! In the Tic-Tac-AI series, I will present a couple of Artificial Intelligence algorithms implemented as Tic-Tac-Toe opponent. In this first article, I will introduce a method called Forward Sampling which is capable of not losing any game of Tic-Tac-Toe!
Maximize Profit and Minimize Risk with Bitcoin Stock Prediction
Suppose you trained an algorithm which predicts the stock market correct about 70% of all cases. Now you would like to start using your algorithm in real life. Chances are that you don’t get what you expect! On every stock market, you have to pay fees for trading (both for buying and selling stocks). In this article, I will explain how I minimized the risk for my Bitcoin Stock Prediction algorithm mathematically. My algorithm and risk minimization is successfully tested on a Bitcoin stock market called Kraken.
