Introduction to Machine Learning(Part-4)

Training Data is the subset of population, where population can be of n variables x1,x2,........,xn. Let us discuss it by example , assume we are taking to factors to differentiate individuals that is Eye color and Hair color. Eye color can be Blue,Green  and Brown. Hair color can be Black, red, blond and grey. So the total combinations we will be working be 3*4 = 12

Here, we can make prediction of function by Joint Probability Distribution.We assume that eye color and hair color does not tell us much about the individuals.Let us add an attribute Milk allergy which has binary values Yes(y) or No(N), now the combinations on which we can work will be 3*4*2 = 24.

If we add an another attribute income which is continuous then the combinations to learn is  3*4*2*∞ = ∞. So , there are two ways by which we can learn this problem:

  • Discretize / Bucket : In this we divide the attribute income in interval like: k maps to [1,100k] ,[100k,500k,.......]
  • Probability Density Function : Here we apply mixture of gaussians for the P(income). This is a parametric model where the overall parameters will be 2k+k-1.


2k+k-1 because in mixture of gaussian they have different mean and standard deviation  and input is also the mixture to it.
 Here, according to above diagram 
     p(X) = 5Σi=1P(Ci)P(X|Ci)
Here P(Ci) is categorical variable and P(X|Ci) is gaussian.

Due to gaussian distribution parameter is 2k and from categorical 
P(C5) = 1-Σi=1P(Ci), from here we got k-1 and the overall parameter are 2k+k-1.

In Logistic Regression it has sigmoid representation.
                                               Z = nΣi=0βixi
                                              
                                                  y'=σ(Z)   where  σ represents activation for sigmoid


Let us assume if our data look like :




The decision boundary in above diagram will be


After transformation it will lead to neural network.



This is multilayer perceptron or Feed forward fully connected neural network 
Neural Network is learning set of based function to get output
                                      y' = σg(w) = g(f(x))

  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

Text Analysis (Part - 4)

  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
