5 Machine Learning Projects You Can No Longer Overlook – Episode VI

@machinelearnbot

Previous lists have included both general purpose and specialized machine learning and deep learning libraries, along with auxiliary support, data cleaning, and automation tools. Vectorflow looks to be an interesting machine learning project for those in the D ecosystem. The link above is to a blog post introducing Optimus, a library for accomplishing just that. Facets is a machine learning dataset visualization library.


Machine Learning: An In-Depth Guide - Overview, Goals, Learning Types, and Algorithms

#artificialintelligence

Once these data subsets are created from the primary dataset, a predictive model or classifier is trained using the training data, and then the model's predictive accuracy is determined using the test data. As mentioned, machine learning leverages algorithms to automatically model and find patterns in data, usually with the goal of predicting some target output or response. In a nutshell, machine learning is all about automatically learning a highly accurate predictive or classifier model, or finding unknown patterns in data, by leveraging learning algorithms and optimization techniques. The columns in this case, and the data contained in each, represent the features (values) of the data, and may include feature data such as game date, game opponent, season wins, season losses, season ending divisional position, post-season berth (Y/N), post-season stats, and perhaps stats specific to the three phases of the game: offense, defense, and special teams.


Understanding the Bias-Variance Tradeoff: An Overview

@machinelearnbot

While this will serve as an overview of Scott's essay, which you can read for further detail and mathematical insights, we will start by with Fortmann-Roe's verbatim definitions which are central to the piece: Error due to Bias: The error due to bias is taken as the difference between the expected (or average) prediction of our model and the correct value which we are trying to predict. Again, imagine you can repeat the entire model building process multiple times. Fortmann-Roe ends the section on over- and under-fitting by pointing to another of his great essays (Accurately Measuring Model Prediction Error), and then moving on to the highly-agreeable recommendation that "resampling based measures such as cross-validation should be preferred over theoretical measures such as Aikake's Information Criteria." I recommend reading Scott Fortmann-Roe's entire bias-variance tradeoff essay, as well as his piece on measuring model prediction error.

Recommender Systems: An Overview

AI Magazine

Recommender systems are tools for interacting with large and complex information spaces. The field, christened in 1995, has grown enormously in the variety of problems addressed and techniques employed, as well as in its practical applications. Recommender systems research has incorporated a wide variety of artificial intelligence techniques including machine learning, data mining, user modeling, case-based reasoning, and constraint satisfaction, among others. The purpose of the articles in this special issue is to take stock of the current landscape of recommender systems research and identify directions the field is now taking.
