the k-NN Regressor and the idea of prediction based on distance, we now look at the k-NN Classifier. The principle is the same, but classification allows us to introduce several useful variants, such as Radius Nearest Neighbors, Nearest Centroid, multi-class prediction, and probabilistic distance models. So we will first implement the k-NN classifier, then discuss how it can be improved. You can use this Excel/Google sheet while reading this article to better follow all the explanations. k-NN classifier in Excel – image by author Titanic survival dataset We will use the Titanic survival dataset, a classic example where each row…

Soundbars can be hugely helpful for people with limited space and the cord-clutter conscious, two camps I fall into. Before testing the Sonos Beam Gen 2, my soundbar experience was limited to just-OK budget-friendly models. The Sonos Beam Gen 2 is not that. It offers a quality, user-friendly audio experience with room to grow (by adding extra speakers and home entertainment gear) or enjoy on its own.

An overpriced, oddly-shaped touchscreen Credit: Corsair The Corsair Xeneon Edge is an expensive, weirdly-shaped, 14.5-inch LCD touchscreen with a resolution of 2560×720.

It’s the most wonderful time of the year for Costco shoppers who know exactly when new products drop. While everyone else is loading up on peppermint bark and giant tubs of truffles, I’m making a beeline for a seasonal sleeper—one of the ultimate if-you-know-you-know gems of the bakery: the Kirkland Signature Cranberry Walnut Loaf. It slips onto shelves around Thanksgiving and vanishes right after the new year. The loaf itself is simple but special—a lightly tangy, soft sandwich bread dotted with dried cranberries and walnuts.
