Speed Reading Memory: Become A Learning Machine & Read Fast

@machinelearnbot

You learn important information on a daily basis, either to gain knowledge or for school, but you are losing a lot of this useful information because you didn't learn it properly in the first place It doesn't have to stay this way. My complete Learning Strategy & Speed Reading course will show you the exact techniques and strategies you need to learn the right way and gain knowledge or remember important information easily. For less than a movie ticket, you will get over 4 hours of video lectures and the freedom to ask me any questions regarding the course as you go through it. What Is In This Course? Your Learning and Reading Sessions Will Never Be The Same.


Journey from Statistics to Machine Learning Udemy

#artificialintelligence

Complex statistics in Machine Learning worry a lot of developers. Knowing statistics helps you build strong Machine Learning models that are optimized for a given problem statement. This video will teach you all it takes to perform complex statistical computations required for Machine Learning. Understand the real-world examples that discuss the statistical side of Machine Learning and familiarize yourself with it. We will discuss the application of frequently used algorithms on various domain problems, using both Python and R programming.

Wasserstein Distributional Robustness and Regularization in Statistical Learning

arXiv.org Machine Learning

A central question in statistical learning is to design algorithms that not only perform well on training data, but also generalize to new and unseen data. In this paper, we tackle this question by formulating a distributionally robust stochastic optimization (DRSO) problem, which seeks a solution that minimizes the worst-case expected loss over a family of distributions that are close to the empirical distribution in Wasserstein distances. We establish a connection between such Wasserstein DRSO and regularization. More precisely, we identify a broad class of loss functions, for which the Wasserstein DRSO is asymptotically equivalent to a regularization problem with a gradient-norm penalty. Such relation provides new interpretations for problems involving regularization, including a great number of statistical learning problems and discrete choice models (e.g. multinomial logit). The connection suggests a principled way to regularize high-dimensional, non-convex problems. This is demonstrated through the training of Wasserstein generative adversarial networks in deep learning.


Large-scale Kernel-based Feature Extraction via Budgeted Nonlinear Subspace Tracking

arXiv.org Machine Learning

Kernel-based methods enjoy powerful generalization capabilities in handling a variety of learning tasks. When such methods are provided with sufficient training data, broadly-applicable classes of nonlinear functions can be approximated with desired accuracy. Nevertheless, inherent to the nonparametric nature of kernel-based estimators are computational and memory requirements that become prohibitive with large-scale datasets. In response to this formidable challenge, the present work puts forward a low-rank, kernel-based, feature extraction approach that is particularly tailored for online operation, where data streams need not be stored in memory. A novel generative model is introduced to approximate high-dimensional (possibly infinite) features via a low-rank nonlinear subspace, the learning of which leads to a direct kernel function approximation. Offline and online solvers are developed for the subspace learning task, along with affordable versions, in which the number of stored data vectors is confined to a predefined budget. Analytical results provide performance bounds on how well the kernel matrix as well as kernel-based classification and regression tasks can be approximated by leveraging budgeted online subspace learning and feature extraction schemes. Tests on synthetic and real datasets demonstrate and benchmark the efficiency of the proposed method when linear classification and regression is applied to the extracted features.


A-Z Machine Learning using Azure Machine Learning (AzureML)

@machinelearnbot

In this lecture, we will learn how to predict an outcome that can have multiple values. We are going to use the wine quality dataset and predict the quality of wine based on various characteristics or physiochemical properties of wine, that may affect its quality, such s the acidity, citric acid, residual sugar in it, density and so on.
