Background and Motivation Since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, there have been numerous studies aimed at understanding how the virus propagates, how effective different measures are in slowing the spread of the virus, and on attempts to forecast the number of positive cases and/or deaths caused by the virus Continue Reading

XGBoost Hyperparameter Tuning

Posted on June 19, 2020June 22, 2020 by marin.stoytchev

As I mentioned in my last post, I revisited my earlier Github projects (https://github.com/marin-stoytchev/data-science-projects ) looking to apply some of the things learned during the last four months. One of the projects I put significant work into is a project using XGBoost and I would like to share some insights Continue Reading

Hello, my name is Marin Stoytchev.

I am a Physicist by education (MS and PhD in Physics), wireless communications professional, and Machine Learning and Data Science enthusiast.

After 15+ years successful career in wireless communications, the desire for learning something new and exciting and working in a new field took over and in January 2019 I decided to start working on transitioning into the fields of Machine Learning and Data Science.

In this blog, I would like to share my experience during this year (and onward) and hope that what I share would help those who have taken or are thinking of taking a similar path.

Below are my personal email and links in case you are interested in contacting me or just want to take a look at my LinkedIn profile and the projects I have posted on Github.
