Learning

of my Machine Learning Advent Calendar. Before closing this series, I would really like to sincerely thank everyone who followed it, shared feedback, and supported it, specifically the Towards Data Science team. Ending this calendar...

were first introduced for images, and for images they are sometimes easy to know. A filter slides over pixels and detects edges, shapes, or textures. You possibly can read this text I wrote earlier...

, we ensemble learning with voting, bagging and Random Forest. Voting itself is simply an aggregation mechanism. It doesn't create diversity, but combines predictions from already different models.Bagging, however, explicitly creates diversity by training...

previous article, we introduced the core mechanism of Gradient Boosting through Gradient Boosted Linear Regression. That example was deliberately easy. Its goal was not performance, but understanding. Using a linear model allowed us to make...

of this series, we'll speak about deep learning. And when people speak about deep learning, we immediately consider these images of deep neural networks architectures, with many layers, neurons, and parameters. In practice, the actual...

a decade old now. Back then, OpenAI felt like one (well-baked) startup amongst others. DeepMind was already around, but not yet fully integrated into Google. And, back then, the “triad of deep learning” —...

For 18 days, we've got explored many of the core machine learning models, organized into three major families: distance- and density-based models, tree- or rule-based models, and weight-based models. Up so far, each article focused...

Even networks long considered “untrainable” can learn effectively with a little bit...
