Once a spam filter has been trained on enough spam, it can easily be inspected to reveal the list of words that it believes  are the best predictors of a spam. Sometimes, this will reveal unsuspected correlations or new trends, and thereby leas to a better understanding of the problem. Applying ML techniques into large amount of data can help discover patterns that were not immediately apparent. This is called data mining.


Data mining is a process of extracting and discovering patterns in large data sets involving methods at the intersection of machine learning, statistics, and database systems

Solving Sudoku

What is Sudoku? So, before getting into the details of solving Sudoku with a computer program, before discussing its algorithm and going through all its steps, it’s only fair to introduce the game of Sudoku to everyone who’s unaware of what Sudoku is, or someone who kinda knows what it is, but has forgotten the exact rules. So, here’s what Sudoku is : (image source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sudoku ) Sudoku is a number puzzle seen as a 9x9 grid that’s only partially filled by numbers from 1 to 9. The user has to completely fill in all the blank spaces, following 3 basic rules : 1 .  All the rows  of the Sudoku should have all the numbers (from 1 to 9) 2 .  All the columns should   have all the numbers (from 1 to 9) 3 .  And each of the sectors should   have all the numbers (again, from 1 to 9) Sectors are the smaller boxes (3x3) within the Sudoku, marked usually with thicker lines. The above image is an example of...

Plotly

Plotly is a python library used for data visualization. That's all there is to it.  And while the most commonly used data visualization tool is MatPlot, we'll be using Plotly simply because it's newer, more interactive, provides more features and is usually much more attractive (this one is actually the main reason I'm using this :D ) For Example, here's a sample graph from their own website  Later in the article, we'll see how to make it ourselves, so keep on reading... This is something I made..(PS. You can interact with it) Alright!  Now let's begin with installing the necessary package, i.e., Plotly I'm sure that by now, you already have some decent  experience on working with environments and downloading packages and libraries. If you don't, or if you just need a reference, check out the following  link . Now the basics. Plotting in Plotly follows a similar (almost same actually...wait, that's what similar means....yeah, so... similar) patte...

Computing Expressions

So, right now I'm applying for various internships. And one of them reached out to me with an assessment link. The link had 90 mins and gave me 2 questions to solve. I'll be sharing those questions and my answers here. I'll make it a 2 part series, because (I'll be honest) I couldn't solve the second question. So, I guess I have another week to figure it out, and the solution to the next question would be my next blog.  Anyways, without further ado, here's the first question : Write a program that takes a single line of input, representing an arithmetic expression. The expression will consists of numeric digits (0-9), the plus operator (+) and the multiplication operator (*). The given expression will be a valid arithmetic expression (i.e., "*2++" is not valid). Your task is to evaluate the arithmetic expression, following the normal rules of operator precedence, and print the result without any leading or trailing whitespace. The resulting number will...
