6 Embarrassing Sklearn Mistakes You May Be Making And How to Avoid Them

<p>Learn to avoid the six most serious mistakes related to machine learning theory that beginners often make through Sklearn.</p> <p><img alt="" src="https://miro.medium.com/v2/resize:fit:700/1*BWM6kIaIWoJkDNxi1F4mSA.jpeg" style="height:394px; width:700px" /></p> <p>Image by me with Leonardo AI</p> <p>Often, Sklearn throws big red error messages and warnings when you make a mistake. These messages suggest something is seriously wrong with your code, preventing the Sklearn magic from doing its job.</p> <p>But what happens if you don&rsquo;t get any errors or warnings? Does that mean you are crushing it so far?&nbsp;<em>Not necessarily</em>. Many knobs and dials make Sklearn the greatest ML library, its world-class&nbsp;<em>code design</em>&nbsp;being an example.</p> <p>The mistakes while writing Sklearn code can easily be fixed. What&nbsp;<em>can</em>&nbsp;go unnoticed is the mistakes related to the&nbsp;<em>internal logic</em>&nbsp;and ML theory that powers Sklearn algorithms and transformers.</p> <p>These mistakes are especially more common and subtle when you are a beginner. So this post will be about the six such mistakes I made and learned to avoid when I was a beginner myself.</p> <p><a href="https://towardsdatascience.com/6-embarrassing-sklearn-mistakes-you-may-be-making-and-how-to-avoid-them-6be5bbdbb987"><strong>Learn More</strong></a></p>
