Are you using Jupyter notebooks regularly in your machine learning or data science projects? Did you know that you can work on notebooks inside a free cloud-based environment with a GPU accelerator? In this post, I will introduce you to Google Colaboratory and show you in a few simple steps how to integrate this platform into your daily workflow.
This tutorial will teach you how to create a custom Google Maps based map for visualizing geographic statistical data. Such maps can be a useful tool when developing machine learning models. As a specific example case, we will create a map for visualizing the population density and median household income of postal code areas in Finland.
