This repository contains the exercises and data for Debugging Data Science Live Training. This training provides an invaluable, hands-on guide to applying machine learning in the wild. Through an end-to-end data science example, we will walk through the process of defining an appropriate problem, building and evaluating a model, and see how to take its performance to the next level through a variety of more advanced techniques. The focus will be on debugging machine learning problems that arise during the model training process and seeing how to overcome these issues to improve the effectiveness of the model.

• Experience with an object-oriented programming language, e.g., Python (all code demos during the training will be in Python)
• Familiarity with the basics of supervised machine learning.
• A working knowledge of the scientific Python libraries (pandas and scikit-learn) is helpful but not required.

1. Download the appropriate Python 3.7 Anaconda Distribution for your operating system: https://www.anaconda.com/distribution/
2. In a Terminal: git clone https://github.com/hopelessoptimism/debugging-data-science.git
3. cd debugging-data-science
4. conda env create -f environment.yml
