Ein Blog der ZHAW Zürcher Hochschule für Angewandte Wissenschaften
by Fernando Benites (ZHAW and SpinningBytes) cross-posted from github We explain here, step by step, how to reproduce results of the approach and discuss parts of the paper. The approach was aimed at building a strong baseline for the task, which should be beaten by deep learning approaches, but we did not achieve that, so […]

The task’s goal was to identify, which region the speaker of a given sentence is from, based on the dialect […]
By Matthias Templ (ZHAW), Thoralf Mildenberger (ZHAW) By way of example, functionality of Reduce() is shown in in https://blog.zhaw.ch/datascience/r-reduce-applys-lesser-known-brother/ . It’s great to learn about how to use this function on interesting problems. If you are ready (equals if you read the first blog post on Reduce), we want to push you further on writing […]
