Support Vector Machines

CS 229 ― Machine Learning My twin brother Afshine and I created this set of illustrated Machine Learning cheatsheets covering the content of the CS 229 class, which I TA-ed in Fall 2018 at Stanford. They can (hopefully!) be useful to all future students of this course as well as to anyone else interested in Machine Learning.

The authors said an automated method for predicting future imaging resource utilization could help streamline the process, paving the way for capacity management strategies that could help meet the increased but unpredictable demand for radiology services. Using data from all hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) surveillance CT exams performed at their hospital between 2010 and 2017, they used open-source NLP and machine learning software to parse free-text radiology reports into bag-of-words and term frequency-inverse document frequency (TF-IDF) models. In NLP, bag-of-words refers to the frequency with which words occur in a report summary, while TF-IDF considers the number of times a word appears in the summary and measures the uniqueness of specific terms in the context of entire report collections. Brown and Kachura also used three machine learning techniques--logistic regression, support vector machine (SVM) and random forest--to make their predictions. As a whole, the authors found bag-of-words models were somewhat inferior to the TF-IDF approach, with the TF-IDF and SVM combination yielding the most favorable results.

Last year, we announced Snap ML, a python-based machine learning framework that is designed to be a high-performance machine learning software framework. Snap ML is bundled as part of the WML Community Edition or WML CE (aka PowerAI) software distribution that is available for free on Power systems. The first release of Snap ML enabled GPU-acceleration of generalized linear models (GLMs) and also enabled scaling these models to multiple GPUs and multiple servers. GLMs are popular machine learning algorithms, which include logistic regression, linear regression, ridge and lasso regression, and support vector machines (SVMs). Our previous blog showed that Logistic Regression using Snap ML is 46 times faster than other methods, which rely on CPUs alone.

Machine Learning is the foundation for today's insights on customer, products, costs and revenues which learns from the data provided to its algorithms. Some of the most common examples of machine learning are Netflix's algorithms to give movie suggestions based on movies you have watched in the past or Amazon's algorithms that recommend products based on other customers bought before. Decision Trees: Decision tree output is very easy to understand even for people from non-analytical background. It does not require any statistical knowledge to read and interpret them. Fastest way to identify most significant variables and relation between two or more variables.

Machine learning and artificial intelligence are set to transform the banking industry, using vast amounts of data to build models that improve decision making, tailor services, and improve risk management. According to the McKinsey Global Institute, this could generate value of more than $250 billion in the banking industry.1 1.For the purposes of this article machine learning is broadly defined to include algorithms that learn from data without being explicitly programmed, including, for example, random forests, boosted decision trees, support-vector machines, deep learning, and reinforcement learning. The definition includes both supervised and unsupervised algorithms. For a full primer on the applications of artificial intelligence, we refer the reader to "An executive's guide to AI." But there is a downside, since machine-learning models amplify some elements of model risk.

Data Mining and Machine Learching are a hot topics on business intelligence strategy on many companies in the world. These fields give to data scientists the opportunity to explore on a deep way the data, finding new valuable information and constructing intelligence algorithms who can "learn" since the data and make optimal decisions for classification or forecasting tasks. This course is focused on practical approach, so i'll supply you useful snippet codes and i'll teach you how to build professional desktop applications for machine learning and datamining with python language. We'll also manage real data from an example of a real trading company and presenting our results in a professional view with very illustrated graphical charts. We'll initiate at the basic level covering the main topics of Python Language and also the needing programs to develop our applications.

Are you implementing a machine learning algorithm at the moment? Implementing algorithms from scratch is one of the biggest mistakes I see beginners make. Don't Implement Machine Learning Algorithms Photo by kirandulo, some rights reserved. Here's a snippet of an email I received: Why do I have to implement algorithms from scratch? It seems that a lot of developers get caught in this challenge.

Epilepsy affects millions of people in the U.S. (approximately three million in 2015, according to Healthline). It's commonly diagnosed by interpretation of electroencephalograms, or EEGs -- measurements of the brain's electrical activity taken from the scalp. But the signals tend to be quite long. This makes them challenging to interpret. Researchers at Edith Cowan University in Australia and Pabna University of Science and Technology in Bangladesh propose a solution in a newly published preprint paper on Arxiv.org

I am incredibly grateful about how my academic year started so far: four preprints were at least conditionally accepted for publication in a forthcoming book on topological methods in data visualization, while another publication of my new lab was accepted as a poster for ICLR 2019. The underlying theme of all these publications is to shift the focus of machine learning towards topological methods, i.e. methods that focus on connectivity properties of input data. I am convinced that thinking about these types of properties is worthwhile, as the resulting shift in perspective often leads to novel insights. This spring of papers follows two themes: in the first, topology is used directly to drive algorithms, for example to classify data, or to elucidate its properties. In the second theme, topology is used indirectly to learn something about the behaviour of other algorithms.
