Every investor looks at P/E multiple differently and invest accordingly. In most of the cases when a company is trading below its industrial average, it is regarded as undervalued stock but it really depends on the GROWTH and RISK of the company. If that undervalued firm has huge growth potential than it is profitable to invest otherwise not (Case is little bit different for mature firm).
People invest in high P/E also as they see company with huge growth potential.

It can also mean that the EPS is more ie the number of outstanding shares in the market are less.It really depends on a lot of factor given the condition. Just try to play around with the denominator and numerator on how can they vary and you will hae a good understanding in no time.ATB

In this ensemble machine learning project, we will predict what kind of claims an insurance company will get. This is implemented in python using ensemble machine learning algorithms.

Convolutional RCCn's for extracting the text out of images

CRNNs combine both convolutional and recurrent architectures and is widely used in text detection and optical character recognition (OCR). In this project, we are going to use a CRNN architecture to detect text in sample images. The data we are going to use is TRSynth100k from Kaggle. Given an image containing some text, the goal here is to correctly identify the text using the CRNN architecture. We are going to train the model end-to-end from scratch.

RASA NLU chatbot creation

The project will use rasa NLU for the Intent classifier, spacy for entity tagging, and mongo dB as the DB. The project will incorporate slot filling and context management and will be supporting the following intent and entities. Intents : product_info | ask_price|cancel_order Entities : product_name|location|order id The project will demonstrate how to generate data on the fly, annotate using framework and how to process those for different pieces of training as discussed above .
