More on Model Evaluation and an Updated Syllabus
Monday July 9, 2018 at 12:06 pm CDT
As mentioned in the previous blog post, this month, I’ll be focusing on Chollet’s Deep Learning with Python (DLP), which focuses on Keras, and Géron’s Hands on Machine Learning with Scikit-Learn and Tensorflow (HML).
I’m definitely wishing I spent more of June digging into training models…
Final Project and Word2Vec
Monday July 9, 2018 at 11:50 am CDT
I’ve spent the past 4 weeks focusing almost entirely on theory. This week, I’m using Chollet’s Deep Learning with Python and Géron’s Hands on Machine Learning with Scikit-Learn and Tensorflow to ramp up my skill at Tensorflow. I’ll be doing exercises…
A Closer Look at the k-Nearest Neighbors Algorithm
Monday June 25, 2018 at 04:36 am CDT
As far as machine learning algorithms go, the k-nearest neighbors algorithm is one of the simplest to understand. If you examine the algorithm a little more closely, though, you’ll notice it’s more nuanced than is readily apparent. This week I had a chance to read up on similarity-based learning in Fundamentals of Machine Learning for Predictive Data Analytics. There are a couple topics…
OpenAI Scholarship
Saturday June 23, 2018 at 01:59 pm CDT
As mentioned in an earlier post, for the next three months, I’ll be studying machine learning as part of the first cohort of OpenAI scholars. I’ll be working with the help of my mentor Igor Mordatch and alongside my fellow Scholars.
Evaluating Your ML Model
Sunday June 17, 2018 at 11:16 am CDT
Among your concerns when developing a model is its accuracy. In this post, we’ll discuss techniques around managing your data that can help you better evaluate the accuracy of your model.
A Friendly Introduction to Convolutional Neural Networks
Tuesday June 12, 2018 at 07:15 pm CDT
Convolutional neural networks (or convnets for short) are used in situations where data can be expressed as a “map” wherein the proximity between two data points indicates how related they are. An image is such a map, which is why you so often hear of convnets in the context of image analysis. If you take an image and randomly rearrange all of its pixels…
