Numerical stability showcase: Ranking with SoftMax or Boltzmann factor

msuzen

Preamble Image: Babylonian table for computation (Wikipedia)Probably, one of the most important aspects of computational work in quantitative fields, such as physics and data sciences is stability of numerical computations. It implies given inputs, outputs should not wildly deviates to large...

Full cross-validation and generating learning curves for time-series models

msuzen

Kindly reposted to KDnuggets by Gregory Piatetsky-ShapiroPreambleTime-series analysis is needed almost in any quantitative field and real-life systems that collects data over time, i.e., temporal datasets. Building predictive models on temporal datasets for future evolution of systems in...

Teaching to machines: What is learning in machine learning entails?

msuzen

Preamble Ebbinghaus (WikipediaMachine Learning (ML) is now a de-facto skill for every quantitative job and almost every industry embraced it, even though fundamentals of the field is not new at all. However, what does it mean to teach to a machine? Unfortunately, for even moderate technical people...

Understanding overfitting: an inaccurate meme in supervised learning

msuzen

Kindly reposted to KDnuggets by Gregory Piatetsky-Shapiro with the title Understanding overfitting: an inaccurate meme in machine learning Preamble There is a lot of confusion among practitioners regarding the concept of overfitting. It seems like, a kind of an urban legend or a meme, a folklore...
