Artificial Intelligence By Example

Python function 

The sklearn packages provide the following svm function:

from sklearn import svmfrom sklearn.datasets import make_blobs

The make_blobs function generates uniform data for this example in all directions. It is thus an isotropic distribution (iso=equal, tropy=way) of random data. A blob contains points of data.

scikit-learn contains a Gaussian factor for the generation function. A Gaussian kernel applies standard deviations from a mean. Imagine you are playing in a sandbox and you make a little hill. Then, with your hand, you cut the pile in two. The mean is where you cut the sand pile; the standard deviation is shown by the slopes going down on both sides.

It might take days, and sometimes weeks, to put a good dataset together. But ...
