A lot of machine learning work has been done in python. Therefore, there are a few python modules that make the work of normalizing data, analyzing data, and training algorithms much easier. Let’s look at a few of these and if you have suggestions, please feel free to comment! Tensorflow Tensorflow is more of an ecosystem, but you can import it into a python project and build some pretty amazing stuff relatively quickly. You usually see it imported as just tf: While it helps to have a basis in linear algebra and vector calculus that’s not entirely necessary. A tensor is an object that is similar to a vector but…

And there are a few other systems out there that can do similar tasks. But I’m a home automation nerd these days. So I decided to…
