Overview of this book

Machine learning, the field of building systems that learn from data, is exploding on the Web and elsewhere. Python is a wonderful language in which to develop machine learning applications. As a dynamic language, it allows for fast exploration and experimentation and an increasing number of machine learning libraries are developed for Python.Building Machine Learning system with Python shows you exactly how to find patterns through raw data. The book starts by brushing up on your Python ML knowledge and introducing libraries, and then moves on to more serious projects on datasets, Modelling, Recommendations, improving recommendations through examples and sailing through sound and image processing in detail. Using open-source tools and libraries, readers will learn how to apply methods to text, images, and sounds. You will also learn how to evaluate, compare, and choose machine learning techniques. Written for Python programmers, Building Machine Learning Systems with Python teaches you how to use open-source libraries to solve real problems with machine learning. The book is based on real-world examples that the user can build on. Readers will learn how to write programs that classify the quality of StackOverflow answers or whether a music file is Jazz or Metal. They will learn regression, which is demonstrated on how to recommend movies to users. Advanced topics such as topic modeling (finding a text's most important topics), basket analysis, and cloud computing are covered as well as many other interesting aspects.Building Machine Learning Systems with Python will give you the tools and understanding required to build your own systems, which are tailored to solve your problems.

Chapter 5. Classification – Detecting Poor Answers

Now that we are able to extract useful features from text, we can take on the challenge of building a classifier using real data. Let's go back to our imaginary website in Chapter 3, Clustering – Finding Related Posts, where users can submit questions and get them answered.

A continuous challenge for owners of these Q&A sites is to maintain a decent level of quality in the posted content. Websites such as stackoverflow.com take considerable efforts to encourage users to score questions and answers with badges and bonus points. Higher quality content is the result, as users are trying to spend more energy on carving out the question or crafting a possible answer.

One particular successful incentive is the possibility for the asker to flag one answer to their question as the accepted answer (again, there are incentives for the asker to flag such answers). This will result in more score points for the author of the flagged answer.
