Dimensionality Reduction in Machine Learning: PCA, Projection & Manifold Learning

This content discusses dimensionality reduction approaches, focusing on projection and Manifold Learning. It explains how projection simplifies high-dimensional data, exemplified by datasets like the Swiss roll. Principal Component Analysis (PCA) is highlighted as a key algorithm for preserving variance while reducing dimensions, with SVD as a method for determining principal components.

In this blog post, we’ll delve into the Java code that produces these right-rotations, exploring how Charlie’s mirror brings about these linguistic metamorphoses. Also … Read more

Uploading, Streaming, and Sampling Data Using Python

Introduction Storing data in local computer memory represents the fastest and most reliable means to access it. The data could reside anywhere. However, you don’t actually interact with the data in its storage location. You load the data into memory from the storage location and then interact with it in memory. Uploading small amounts of … Read more

Utopian Tree | Hackerrank Solution

The Utopian Tree goes through 2 cycles of growth every year. Each spring, it doubles in height. Each summer, its height increases by 1 meter. A Utopian Tree sapling with a height of 1 meter is planted at the onset of spring. How tall will the tree be after  growth cycles? For example, if the number of growth cycles is n=5, the calculations are as … Read more

What is Bagging and Pasting? Machine Learning from Scratch

Introduction One way to get a diverse set of classifiers is to use very different training algorithms, as just discussed. Another approach is to use the same training algorithm for every predictor, but to train them on different random subsets of the training set. When sampling is performed with replacement, this method is called bagging … Read more

Decision Tree Regression | Machine Learning from Scratch

Decision Trees are also capable of performing regression tasks. Let’s build a regression tree using Scikit-Learn’s DecisionTreeRegressor class, training it on a noisy quadratic dataset with max_depth=2: from sklearn.tree import DecisionTreeRegressor tree_reg = DecisionTreeRegressor(max_depth=2) tree_reg.fit(X, y) The resulting tree is represented below This tree looks very similar to the classification tree you built earlier. The … Read more
