Introduction to Machine Learning (Part-3)

 Probability is a way to model uncertain events and Machine Learning is trying to make a process similar to real world process.


It is a basic model using machine learning.

It says if we have some missing data then through function we can retrieve the missing data.

Example : Apply for a bank loan is a real world process, it can be based on Age, income, Education, Marriage status, Defaulted ...etc. Here we have to apply Joint Probability Distribution. Here from function we predict probability to approximate actual probability.

Principle Components : These are the factors of the process , on which a process is based on.

Logistic Regression : It  is used where the scenario is that input is continuous variable and output is categorical variable.It can be represented as :

                      P(Y=1|X) = 1 / 1 + e(2Σi=1βixi)

Here βi  is the parameter. We have to learn the function which minimizes the error.

                   P(Y=0|X) = 1 - P(Y=1|X)                                                                                                             =  1 -  1 / 1 + e(2Σi=1βixi)

If we assume P(Y=1|X) > P(Y=0|X), here we can bet on 1 because here P(Y=1|X) is greater. If  P(Y=1|X) = P(Y=0|X) , then it will lead to decision boundary and this the proof that Logistic Regression can create a Linear decision boundary.

If we substitute the values in P(Y=1|X) = P(Y=0|X)

                               1 / 1 + e(2Σi=1βixi) =    e-(2Σi=1βixi) /  1 + e(2Σi=1βixi)

                                                        1 =   e(2Σi=1βixi)

                                                   By taking log on both sides

                                                 log 1 = log e(-Σβixi)

                                                  c = Σβixi

                                                  Σβixi = 0  

This is equation of plane.

In logistic regression also we try to fit linear decision boundary.

                                D maps P'(Y|X)

where here D is discriminative model and P'(Y|X) is conditional probability of Y given X, if it would be P'(XY) then it would have been generative model.

                                   P(Y|X) = P(XY)/P(X)

We get X by marginalization P(X) =  ΣY P(XY)

In Linear regression, input as well as output both are continuous.

Linear and Logistic Regression are not universal approximate , we cannot find f through them but can find the approximate by Mixture of Gaussian and Neural Network and can help to find approximate function.

  Decision Trees (Continued) Attribute Selection Measures If the dataset consists of N attributes then deciding which attribute to place at the root or at different levels of the tree as internal nodes is a complicated step. By just randomly selecting any node to be the root can’t solve the issue. If we follow a random approach, it may give us bad results with low accuracy. For solving this attribute selection problem, researchers worked and devised some solutions. They suggested using some criteria like : Entropy, Information gain, Gini index, Gain Ratio, Reduction in Variance Chi-Square These criteria will calculate values for every attribute. The values are sorted, and attributes are placed in the tree by following the order i.e, the attribute with a high value(in case of information gain) is placed at the root. While using Information Gain as a criterion, we assume attributes to be categorical, and for the Gini index, attributes are assumed to be continuous. Entropy Entropy is a me

  Support Vector Machine A Support Vector Machine (SVM) is a discriminative classifier formally defined by a separating hyperplane. In other words, given labeled training data, the algorithm outputs an optimal hyperplane which categorizes new examples.  In two dimensional space this hyperplane is a line dividing a plane in two parts where in each class lay in either side. Suppose given plot of two label classes on graph as shown in image. You might have come up with something similar to following image (image B). It fairly separates the two classes. Any point that is left of line falls into black circle class and on right falls into blue square   In real world application, finding perfect class for millions of training data set takes lot of time. This is called regularization parameter.  Two terms regularization parameter and gamma are tuning parameters in SVM classifier. Varying those we can achieve considerable non linear classification line with more accuracy in reasonable amount of

  The article covers a very important concepts of Text Analysis from Bayesian's i.e the  Latent Dirichlet Allocation  which is the part of topic modelling . What is Topic Modelling? Topic modelling is a type of statistical modelling for discovering the abstract “topics” that occur in a collection of documents. This can be useful for search engines, customer service automation, and any other instance where knowing the topics of documents is important . Thus, Topic Models , in a nutshell, are a type of statistical language models used for uncovering hidden structure in a collection of texts. There are multiple methods of for topic modelling and one of them includes Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA) . Latent Dirichlet Allocation Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA) is an example of topic model and is used to classify text in a document to a particular topic. It builds a topic per document model and words per topic model, modelled as Dirichlet distributions. Basic Idea LDA is a  genera
