Algorithms in the Wild

How Machine Learning Algorithms are Helping the US Air Force Improve Pilot Training

Today's post is the first in a new series called Algorithms in the Wild, where we'll discuss case studies featuring machine learning algorithms in some very interesting applications! Our first case study comes from an article in Popular Science on 'How AI could help new Air Force pilots avoid costly mistakes from Popular Science.'

Coding a Simple Recommendation System in R

When we shop online, we often get recommendations for other products that are similar to ones we've been looking at. Systems that recommend related products and services are frequently referred to as recommendation systems. In today's Code Lab, we'll code a simple recommendation system using something called cosine similarity!
