All About Reinforcement learning

Reinforcement Learning is a type of Machine Learning where an agent learns to make decisions by interacting with an environment. It is based on the concept of trial and error learning, where the agent tries different actions and learns from the feedback it receives in the form of rewards or penalties. Reinforcement Learning is widely used in various domains such as gaming, robotics, finance, and healthcare. Reinforcement Learning Cycle The Reinforcement Learning process starts with an agent and an environment. The agent interacts with the environment by taking actions and receiving feedback in the form of rewards or penalties. The goal of the agent is to maximize its cumulative reward over a period of time. The agent uses a policy, which is a set of rules that determine the actions it takes in different situations. The policy is learned through trial and error, and it is updated based on the feedback received from the environment. The rewards and penalties in Reinforcement Learning are

Data Structures in Machine Learning

Ever used python libraries like scikit-learn or TensorFlow, Keras, and PyTorch? Ever wondered what lies beyond the one line of code that initiates the Model? Ever wondered how the data is stored and processed in a model? Today, we will explore the realms of data structures used to implement different machine-learning models and see what importance it holds in machine learning and deep learning. Deep Learning requires much math, and we need methods to optimally perform this math in the lowest time and space complexity possible. We try to do this using parallel computation and changing the for loops into matrix multiplications running parallelly across multiple processors or GPUs. This is used to increase efficiency.  Data is the most important part of any machine learning or deep learning problem. From the data loading to the prediction, every step uses one or the other data structure, giving us the least possible time complexity. The need of the hour is to make our data loaders much mo

Exploratory Data Analysis

  EXPLORATORY DATA ANALYSIS Exploratory Data Analysis (EDA) is a crucial step in data analysis. It is a method used to analyze, summarize, and visualize data to gain insights and identify patterns. EDA helps data scientists to understand the data and make informed decisions about how to proceed with the analysis. In this blog post, we will explore what EDA is, why it is essential, and the various techniques used in EDA. Basics Of Exploratory Data Analysis (EDA)  Exploratory Data Analysis (EDA) examines data to discover patterns, relationships, and anomalies. EDA involves using statistical and visualization techniques to understand the data. The primary objective of EDA is to identify the main characteristics of the data, such as its distribution, central tendency, and variability. Importance Of Exploratory Data Analysis (EDA)  EDA is important for several reasons. Firstly, it helps data scientists to understand the data and its characteristics. This understanding is crucial in deciding

Natural Language Processing

Natural Language Processing (or NLP) is the field of artificial intelligence that aims to enable computers to comprehend written and spoken language in a manner that is similar to that of humans. NLP blends statistical, machine learning, and deep learning models with computational linguistics—rule-based modelling of human language. With the use of these technologies, computers are now able to process human language in the form of text or audio data and fully "understand" what is being said or written, including the speaker's or writer's intentions and sentiment. It has numerous practical uses in a wide range of industries, including corporate intelligence, search engines, and medical research. NLP has two components: Natural Language Understanding (NLU): It involves converting the provided natural language input into helpful representations and examining the language's various facets. Natural Language Generation (NLG): Relatively more straightforward than NLU, i

Overfitting and Underfitting

Overfitting and Underfitting are two fundamental problems due to which a machine learning model performs poorly. Any machine learning model's primary objective is to generalize effectively. Here, generalization refers to the ability of an ML model to adapt the provided set of unknown inputs to produce an acceptable output. It indicates that it can generate trustworthy and accurate output after undergoing training on the dataset. Before we move on to overfitting and underfitting, we need to be familiar with some prerequisite terms: Noise: Noise stands for unnecessary or irrelevant data, or other similar outliers, that do not follow the general trend of the overall dataset. Bias: Bias is the error rate of the training data, and occurs due to the oversimplification of machine learning algorithms when the model makes assumptions to make a function easier to learn. Variance: Variance is defined as the difference in the model's error rate with the training data and the model's

Zero, One and Few Shot Learning

Zero-Shot Learning Zero-shot learning is a problem setup in machine learning where, at test time, a learner observes samples from classes that were not observed during training and needs to predict the class they belong to. The general idea of zero-shot learning is to transfer the knowledge in the training instances to test instance classification. Thus, zero-shot learning is a subfield of transfer learning. Zero-shot learning has applications in image classification, natural language processing, and more. Zero-shot learning has many potential applications in domains where labeled data is scarce or expensive, such as medical imaging, natural language understanding, speech recognition, etc. This is useful for scenarios where obtaining labeled data for every possible class is impractical or impossible, such as classifying all animal species or natural languages. One of the challenges of zero-shot learning is representing unseen classes so that the model can understand and relate to the s
