Please can anyone explain YOLO algorithm very well?
Just heard of it this month, and apparently it's been around for more than 2 years now.

Hello Great minds, from what I've seen here, I hope my question won't sound very foolish. I don't mind anyway.

I am using watson conversation API to buid a bot, but I am having some challenges.
For #A and @B, the bot is to respond "why na"; and for #B and @A, the bot is to say "na so e be".

but my challenge is, for A and B or B and A, the bot responds same "why na". How can I configure the bot to recognise A and B, & B and A in their different orders?

I hope I am clear enough to be understood.

I hail the initiators of this group, I am here to learn.

Happy

first of all here is what I did based on your suggestions
1. I sent the file to my friend who is good with python to perform your number one instructions still awaiting to hear from him tho

2. I went online and checked for an online converter I found some but it just didn't work probably since there are alot of data on that file am guessing after trying out four different online converters

3. I opened the file as usual in excel and tried saving but just didn't see the format I needed to save to access (.mdb) so I thought what if I can import the csv file from access directly and then I did thanks to MS Access addon tools it worked.

and I have just changed my mind about converting it to sql since I can manipulate the data now externally from my codes to give me what I want

beat regards.

This is very nice and a bit different from Nairaland. I would not mind being part of this group. Please add me up. I think I will be able to contribute in some way to the progress of the group.

I really appreciate your effort in breaking it down... Thanks for allowing the discussion continue..

Ive been able go grab some cogent and important points from your writeup... From the expert system example you gave, I did a lil more research and found out some other expert systems also...

Which I can also term as knowledge engineering products...I'll begin to look in to them individually so I can be able to identify some of their security challenges and ways the knowledge engineers could have done it better..

On designing a new expert systems for each security challenge might be cumbersome for different of these expert systems and I might begin to go off point from what my supervisor intended... I might just write another kA Stroud

What am thinking is I'll just propose a model of ways of Combating them.

I'll await the results of your research..

Thanks so much.

OK cool but I think I have a small problem

I can access the data but manipulating the csv data to achieve what I want to achieve is my problem

am thinking if I can convert the FIFA dataset to sql would solve the issue but then I tried using phpmyadmin to achieve this am the records in that file exceeds the required record that can be imported so if anyone can help me convert this FIFA dataser to an sql file then my problem would be solved thanks in advance

or better still offer a more suitable solution to manipulate the data to show record from a specific datarow when called randomly from the algorithm

I just downloaded a dataset from kaggle, about the most complete player.
I just want to try my best, I'm just a learner. What kind of problem is that: determining the most complete player, classification, regression, or which?

4kings:
Thanks.

The usual method for question answering normally revolves around the popular bag of words model, where faetures are trained using the best fit algorithm or ensemble methods, and other effective stuff come to play.

I've built some naive question answering system in time past using these methods, and POS taggers are only(or mostly) for word-category disambiguation for context meaning.
For example, the sentence; "He fishes fish", it enables the system to distinguish the verb in the statment.

What i need however is a different approach, with focus on POS taggers. I just want to see the extent a good analysis of POS taggers can be used for question answering without ngrams or bag of words model or lemmatization and so on, and because of the nature of POS taggers, i think if one is succesful in closed domain questions, open domain won't be a problem, because the algorithm won't be using a similarity metrics per say, but will actually understand the words spoken.

So this is more of a research to me, when i'm less busy I'll work up some stuff to see what i come up with and share with the group.

I've used POS taggers for speech synthesis, and this was actually the only place where POS taggers really matterd the most.

4kings thanks for your input. Suggestions from others are also welcomed.

My Suggestion
In addition to 4kings suggestion, the links below are short blog posts that gives some perspective.
1. https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/an-introduction-to-machine-learning
(gives a very high level introduction to Machine Learning)

2. https://www.toptal.com/machine-learning/machine-learning-theory-an-introductory-primer
(similar to the first link, but goes a little bit deeper, with very little amount of math to describe the algorithm that powers some methods)


Lastly, if you more interested in getting a well rounded knowledge (not just high level overview), then any
1. If you are interested in first getting a rounded knowledge about Machine Learning, then link below is a good introduction
https://www.coursera.org/learn/machine-learning.
The course is video based, so you will need a fair amount of internet data.

2. If you can't do video (because of data), the website below is also nice, but you will need to browse through it (especially the blog section) to mine useful information from it.

3. The link below (machine learning cheat sheet with much emphasis on neural networks) may also be nice.

I would like to suggest we get the platform issue out of the way b4 moving forward. Op,I would suggest we do a quick vote on which platform to use.
So far we have:
1. Nairaland: I know it's a great forum but I feel it lacks some features required for large collaboration.
2. Telegram: I have never had to use it but I hear it's quite good.
3. WhatsApp: Great app but somehow every group I've been part of died a slow death.
4. Slack: My personal choice.
Of course there are plenty other great platforms that can be suggested.

I truly have high hopes for this group and starting on the right foundation and structures would go a long way in making it sustainable and scalable long term.

islamics:
Aah! We are in the same boat ai. Me am learning Android right now. I just do like @SoftEng suggested, I will build my Android skill up, then delve into ML.

I once participated in a challenge and my task was to build a bot using NLP, I wanted using DialogFlow but I was told to build a custom NLP for the nature of my task, na so I give up o.

Chukwudaalu:
So good to be here. I suggest we make use of a channel where we can easily share articles, videos, PDF files, pictures, etc. Seasons greetings.

Unmarshalled:
Yes I mean Progressive Web Apps. Since I've started it already I'll stick with it. I'll learn ML and AI after that Though I'll like to be a member of this group.

sirdouglas:
After hosting my site, I encountered an error 0. I don't know how to fix it and I have to show the site to the owner tomorrow.

I need someone who can guide me through.

Unmarshalled:
But guys I'm learning JavaScript currently, should I drop it.

4kings:
First to comment.

Can anyone with knowledge of NLP build a question answering system with just part of speech tagging?
Please if you can or have insight on how to go about it, discuss with the group.

omokoladejames:
I suggest we have a slack channel for the group. I believe it is better structured for collaborations and knowledge sharing.

Unmarshalled:
OK so where should I start, I have basic knowledge of python

4kings:
*coughs*
The day has come.

themonk:
Lets go there. I'm higly intrested.
Please as a suggestion, could you mention all intrested persons when you start or can we use a platform like whatsapp. I just need to be duly notified on each update, thats all. Thanks alot
