The model categorizes the images based on predefined labels. I tested different deep learning models and found that the ResNet50 model, a residual neural network with 50 layers, performed the best on the data.

As you can see from the visualizations of the results, most the the photos were classified correctly. The only photo that visualized incorrectly in the predictions was an image of frost that was classified as snow. The final model achieved an impressive test accuracy of 89.8%, meaning the model correctly classified approximately 89.8% of the test samples. This model could be applied to a wide range of classification tasks, from weather and nature, to object classification, animals, clothing items, foods, and numerous industrial applications such as defect detection or inventory management. Its versatility and accuracy make the model a valuable tool for solving diverse image classification challenges.

Machine Learning for Crop Yields - Predicts yields with 98% accuracy

For this project, I looked at over 20 years of crop yield data from the Food and Agriculture Organization. I then used machine learning techniques to make predictions for future yields. This machine learning analysis was completed using Python. This project could have practical applications for farmers who want to predict yields based on environmental factors. This analysis workflow could be catered to specific regions, crops, farms, or different environmental conditions.

We can see here that annual yields increased over time.

Pesticide use also increased steadily with yields.

The total amount of fields increased gradually over the 24 year period.

This correlation heatmap shows the correlations between the different numerical variables.

Next, I tested different machine learning models for yield predictions, including a neural network model. After testing several models, I selected Random Forest Regressor for the final model, with an R-squared score of 0.97. These charts show the predicted values vs the actual values. I used Cross-Validation RMSE to help check the model for overfitting. I optimized the final model to ensure overfitting was not an issue, ensuring it's efficacy in making real-world predictions.

The final model achieves an impressive R-squared score, averaging 0.98 across the training and test sets (0.97 for the training set and 0.99 for the test set). The cross-validation RMSE and test RMSE are also very similar (13745.45 for the test RMSE and 13893.52 for the cross-validation RMSE), indicating the test performance is representative of the model's ability, and overfitting is not an issue. While there is a slight difference in the training RMSE and the test RMSE (7901.43 for the training and 13745.45 for the test), this difference is reasonable given the different sizes of the datasets. The MAE values are relatively close as well (3223.64 for the training and 5688.32 for the test), suggesting the model does not overfit the training data. The scores prove the model's efficacy, it does an excellent job of predicting the yields, accounting for over 98% of the variance in the target variable (yield). This machine learning workflow could serve as a template for predicting agricultural yields based on historical trends and environmental factors benefiting farmers, policymakers, and agri-tech innovators.

Clothing & Accessories Sales Trends - Analysis and Customer Segmentation

In this exploratory data analysis, I examined customer trends in clothing and accessories sales across the United States. The project visualizes various customer trends and patterns. This exploratory analysis was conducted with Python. The accompanying dashboard was made with Tableau. From understanding sales trends to developing advanced customer profiles and procuring insights into customer behaviors, this type of analysis can be incredibly valuable for retail enterprises, startups supplying consumer goods, and medium-sized clothing and apparel companies looking to utilize AI-driven outreach.

I employed various methods to test for significance, including ANOVA and the Chi-Square test. The most notable associations identified were between promo code usage and subscription status, gender and subscription status, and season and purchase amount.

There was a clear pattern indicating that women were not subscribers, with none of them being subscribed or using promo codes. This should be a primary focus for marketing efforts: understanding why women are not subscribing and offering targeted promo codes that include free or discounted subscription options to encourage engagement.

I used k-means clustering to create three distinct groups of customers. The clusters were divided into low spenders who gave moderate ratings, high spenders who gave excellent ratings, and moderate spenders who gave low ratings. Personalized emails or advertisements could be tailored and sent to customers based on their respective clusters. For example, high spenders who gave excellent ratings could receive a discount promo email expressing gratitude for their loyalty. Low spenders who gave moderate ratings could be offered competitive discounts to encourage higher engagement. Moderate spenders who gave low ratings could receive an email with an exclusive offer to improve their satisfaction and incentivize future purchases. This targeted approach ensures more effective and customer-centric marketing.

Sales were greatest in the fall and winter, though demand for different items varied. As mentioned, the data indicates that women did not use promo codes and were not subscribers. With women comprising close to a third of the customers, something should be done to address this trend. Customers could also be sent emails based on which cluster group they were placed into. I have included an interactive dashboard visualizing the sales trends. The dashboard was made using Tableau. To view other dashboards I have made, view the dashboards page. This type of exploratory data analysis on clothing and accessories trends can uncover patterns in sales and customer behaviors, providing actionable insights for brands, retailers, and consumers.

Predicting Sales Based on Budgets -Predicts sales with 96% accuracy

In this project, I utilize machine learning to forecast total sales based on marketing budgets. The analysis was performed using Python. I began by cleansing and formatting the data. Then I made a correlation heatmap and scatter matrix to visualize the strongest correlations within the dataset.

I tested several models and found that a polynomial regression model implemented using a pipeline performed the best.

The model is performing well with an average r-squared score of 0.9655. With only minor differences between the training, validation, and test sets, the model is not overfitting. The cross-validation RMSE is close to the training and test RMSE, again confirming the model is not overfitting. These scores confirm the final model's efficacy, it predicts an average of 96.6% of the variance in sales based on marketing budgets. This project could be useful for businesses looking to understand how their marketing budgets impact sales performance. It can help identify which marketing channels provide the best return on investment and guide future spending decisions. Companies can use these insights to optimize their campaigns and boost overall sales.
