Q&A with Stephen Piccolo talking about ShinyLearner, a benchmarking tool for machine-learning classification algorithms, & how it was tested with CODECHECK
Certified Reproducibility. Q&A on ShinyLearner & the CODECHECK certificate, pt. 1
Scott Edmunds - April 7, 2020
Out today in GigaScience is ShinyLearner, a new tool to make it easier to perform benchmark comparisons of classification algorithms. This tool stands out by making this process super systematic and reproducible, and despite needing to interface with many different libraries and languages it uses software containers (and a CodeOcean demo) so end users don’t […]
