ABSTRACT: Most machine learning algorithms perform poorly on skewed datasets. Data distributions in machine learning, when they are discussed at all, are generally expected to have a symmetric distribution, if not actually be normally distributed. The impact of skewed data distribution on the performance of machine learning algorithms has not been given much attention.

This full day open house is open to you and your family. You are invited to go on a campus tour, check out our residences, attend academic information sessions and chat one on one with current students, staff and faculty who are in the programs to which you've applied.

Visit our campus, meet with staff and students and learn more about what Guelph has to offer. Tours include visiting student residences, lecture halls, the library, the athletic facilities, the main administration building, and several general academic areas. March Break Tours run at 10:00am and 1:30pm daily. Please visit https://admission.uoguelph.ca/tours to book your campus tour now!

Chat with Us! Do you have questions about the University of Guelph, its programs, campus, admission requirements, or even just about campus life? YOU'RE IN LUCK! We invite you to chat in real-time with Admission and Recruitment staff, U of G students and other students interested in joining the Guelph community.
