Corey J Wade is passionate about machine learning. He believes in accurate statistics and enjoys designing new metrics, like 3NG, a new 3-point basketball statistic to accurately rank 3-point shooters by accuracy and volume. Wade has analyzed data for Independent Study teachers, and predicted helpful book reviews using Natural Language Processing. He has built numerous machine learning models including Restricted Boltzmann Machines, LightGBM, XGBoost, Singular Value Decomposition, and Sequential Deep Learning. Wade’s original research includes a piecewise linear transformation that converts any thumbs-up/thumbs-down system into percentiles with skewness intact (Towards Data Science). In 2019, he developed Data Science curricula for Hello World and Pathstream. In 2020, he launched Berkeley Coding Academy to bring Data Science to youth around the world.
