Binary classification with Tensorflow 2

Image
This post uses Tensorflow with Keras API for a classification problem of predicting diabetes based on a feed-forward neural network also known as multilayer perceptron and uses Pima Indians Diabetes Database from Kaggle . A Google colab notebook with code is available on GitHub . Exploratory data analysis The dataset consists of 8 numeric features each of which does not have any missing values. The database contains 768 records from which 500 correspond to negative outcomes and 268 to positive. There are no features that strongly correlate to each other. Building a model We split the dataset into the training part which constitutes 80% of the whole data and the test part of 20%. A sequential model consisting of 6 layers. The first one is a normalization layer that is a kind of experimental preprocessing layer used to coerce it inputs to have distributions with the mean of zero and standard deviation of one. The model contains two three fully-connected layers, two wit

Spring Tutorial: Creating a Hello World REST API Using Spring Framework and Spring Boot

Image
Spring Framework was created as a result of disappointment of Java community with earlier versions of Enterprise Java. Since then it has grown into huge ecosystem that allows one to solve every problem in building a Web-based Java application and more. Spring is often criticized because it used to rely on XML for configuration purposes. As a response to that the Spring Boot framework was released, which relies on convention over configuration principle and can do without XML at all. In this tutorial series we’ll go over how to create an application using Spring Framework and Spring Boot. While Spring Boot allows one to create an application faster, Spring is widely used today in enterprise environment and even by startups, so knowing Spring is definitely a marketable skill, and also learning it can provide one with the insight how Spring Boot works. The code for a simple Spring Framework application can be found here and the Spring Boot version here . Creating Spring W

AngularJS Tutorial: AngularJS Controller As Syntax

Image
Introduction to AngularJS Controller As Syntax In the previous installment of this series we discussed scopes and what problems nested scopes can cause. There are a couple of solutions to this problem: the so-called Controller As syntax introduced by AngularJS 1.2 and .component() method introduced by AngularJS 1.5. The latter option is a recommended way to go if you are thinking about upgrading your application to newer Angular versions. In this post we’ll talk about AngularJS Controller As syntax. As was mentioned previously, when we instruct Angular to use a controller with the ng-controller directive, a new instance of a controller and a child scope is created. Alternatively, the same directive but with a different syntax can be used to create a controller and to attached it to a newly-created scope as the snippet below shows. The differences are that, first, in the ng-controller directive we not only pass the name of the registered controller, but also, a variabl

AngularJS Tutorial: Introduction to AngularJS Scopes

Image
Introduction to AngularJS Scopes In the previous tutorial of this series we learned how to test controllers using Jasmine and Karma. In this post we discussed how data is passed from controller to view using $scope , which is the glue that links model and view. In this tutorial we’ll talk more about scopes, what are some possible pitfalls in using them, and later we’ll talk about the ways to overcome possible problems, as well as get over Batarang, a Chrome extension from AngularJS team, which can be used to analyze scopes inside an AngularJS application. By adding the ng-app directive to some HTML tag we specify that an AngularJS will be created and in the process of application creation Angular creates the so-called root scope . Some other directives such as ng-controller create a child scope. To visualize scopes one can use a Google Chrome extension called Batarang . The picture below shows the root scope for the AngularJS application and the child scope created by Hell
