NLP with 🤗 Hugging Face
Zero-shot classification is basically text classification with no training at all. How does it compare with transfer learning/fine-tuning? We’ll see using the beloved 🤗 transformers library.

Interpretable machine learning with SHAP
In this post, we predict health insurance costs with an efficient black box model, namely random forest. Then we interpret individual predictions as well as the global behavior of the estimator using SHapley Additive exPlanations.

Image recognition with PyTorch and fastai
Computer vision is one of the most fascinating domains in Machine Learning. Libraries like PyTorch and more recently, fastai, have made these kinds of models extraordinarily accessible. In this post, we build an aircraft classifier from gathering data to training and deployment.
