are sometimes presented as black boxes.
Layers, activations, gradients, backpropagation… it may feel overwhelming, especially when every thing is hidden behind model.fit().
We are going to construct a neural network regressor from scratch using Excel....
5 days of this Machine Learning “Advent Calendar”, we explored 5 models (or algorithms) which are all based on distances (local Euclidean distance, or global Mahalanobis distance).
So it's time to change the approach,...
to this “Advent Calendar” of Machine learning and deep learning in Excel.
For Day 1, we start with the k-NN (k-Nearest Neighbors) regressor algorithm. And as you will notice, this is absolutely the best...
ENSEMBLE LEARNINGFitting to errors one booster stage at a timeAfter all, in machine learning, we would like our predictions spot on. We began with easy decision trees — they worked okay. Then got here...
