It’s a very special stream this week because it’s Valentine’s Day. To celebrate, let’s explore data from a data website. While I couldn’t find recommendation dating on short notice, I did find a general set of anonymized profiles. This provides a framework for test-driving less flashy machine learning python libraries like Pandas and Sci-kit Learn.

Because we’re looking at more “traditional” libraries, the analysis sticks with exploratory data mining and some light regression. No Deep Learning here. That doesn’t mean the models are weak; you should use the simplest model you can get away with, and often, linear regression fits the bill.
