Machine Learning

7 AM My morning alarm buzzed at 7 AM. But I remember setting my alarm for the usual 7.30. My smart phone then notified me of a minor accident on the route to my office, leading to traffic congestion Smart traffic cameras installed on the road had sensed it. This...

Although computers are better for data processing and making calculations, they were not able to accomplish some of the most basic human tasks, like recognizing Apple or Orange from a basket of fruits, till now. Computers can capture, move, and store the data, but...

First, there were big data – extremely large data sets that made it possible to use data analytics to reveal patterns and trends, allowing businesses to improve customer relations and production efficiency. Then came fast data analytics – the application of big data...

Technology moves at breakneck speed, and we now have more power in our pockets than we had in our homes in the 1990s. Artificial intelligence (AI) has been a fascinating concept of science fiction for decades, but many researchers think we’re finally getting close to...

The media interest surrounding deep learning has grown exponentially in the last few years. But what does it actually mean, and how will it change business and society? Deep learning is a subset of machine learning that refers to mapping artificial neural networks to...

Cisco defines the Internet of Everything (IoE) as bringing together people, process, data, and things to make networked connections more relevant and valuable than ever before-turning information into actions that create new capabilities, richer experiences, and...

With the evolution of digital technology, the definitions of AI and Machine Learning are quite distinct from what they were before. Add to that the complexity of people using these terms interchangeably or to mean different things, and we have a prime example of our...

What is K nearest neighbors(KNN)?  KNN is one of the simplest machine learning algorithm and it is a lazy algorithm, as it doesn’t run computations on a data set until you give it a new data point you are trying to test. In this tutorial, I will not only show you how...

In the first blog post of this series, we introduced the topic of machine learning and discussed why there is a lot of excitement around the topic. In this blog post, we explore different types of machine learning. Let’s start with a simple example that everyone can...

This is the first of a three-post series on machine learning.  Is machine learning just a fancy word for the same old computer programming we have employed for decades? Or, is machine learning a mystical computer that can learn anything? More importantly, why does it...

So far I have talked about decision trees and ensembles. But I hope, I have made you understand the logic behind these concepts without getting too much into the mathematical details. In this post let’s get into action, I will be implementing the concepts that we...

Gartner has predicted 5 strategic technologies for 2016. Highlights include, the importance of machine learning, artificial intelligence, the Internet of Things and its impact on business and consumers worldwide. Even though these technologies have different names,...

In the last 7 years or so there has been quite a bit of work on parallel machine learning approaches, enough that I felt like a summary might be helpful both for myself and others. In each case, I put in the earliest known citation. If I missed something please...

The recent explosion of data set size, in number of records and attributes, has triggered the development of a number of big data platforms as well as parallel data analytics algorithms. At the same time though, it has pushed for usage of data dimensionality reduction...

Imagine a baby coming into the world. From the moment she opens her eyes, there is a world of learning to absorb. Every action will create an imprint on her brain, and she will not stop learning until the moment she leaves the world. She develops because of her...

Needless to say, R is one of the most efficient and effective tools for analysing and manipulating data for statistical purpose. To add to that, R being both inexpensive and beautiful, embellishes both the art of programming and proliferating the skill set of the...

It’s hard not to be fascinated by machine learning. It is overwhelmingly powerful. As former Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer says, it is going to be the next era of computer science. There is a lot of excitement and buzz around machine learning. So, I thought of sharing...

Every day IBM creates 2.5 quintillion bytes of data and most of the  data generated are high dimensional. So it is necessary to reduce the dimensions of the data to work efficiently. One of the most common dimensionality reduction technique is filtering, in which you...

Are you looking for some of the frequently updated Machine Learning blogs to learn what's happening in the world of Machine Learning and related areas that explore the construction and study of algorithms that can learn from data and make predictions or decisions?...

Suppose you go shopping for mangoes one day. The vendor has laid out a cart full of mangoes. You can handpick the mangoes, the vendor will weigh them, and you pay according to a fixed Rs per Kg rate (typical story in India). Obviously, you want to pick the sweetest,...

Probability theory is the mathematical study of uncertainty. It plays a central role in machine learning, as the design of learning algorithms often relies on probabilistic assumption of the data. Now, are you searching for some good books in Probability to read? Here...

Machine Learning is a type of artificial intelligence (AI) that provides computer programs with the ability to learn, grow and change when exposed to new data, without being explicitly programmed. The process of Machine Learning is similar to that of data mining. Both...

Summary: Deep learning is all the rage among the tech scene right now, and that’s more a result of its utility than because it sounds cool. Some questioned the feasibility of the Secret Service’s requested “sarcasm detector,” but deep learning could help there, too....

Here is the list of 50 selected papers in Data Mining and Machine Learning. You can download them for your detailed reading and research. Enjoy! General Data Mining and Statistics: What's the Connection? Data Mining: Statistics and More?, D. Hand, American...
