What is Stacking of Models in Machine Learning?

by

The last Ensemble method we will discuss in this series is called stacking (short for stacked generalization). It is based on a simple idea: instead of using trivial functions (such as hard voting) to aggregate the predictions of all predictors in an ensemble, why don’t we train a model to perform this aggregation? Figure below … Read more

Introduction to Dimensionality Reduction

by

The text discusses the curse of dimensionality in machine learning, highlighting challenges in high-dimensional spaces. It suggests reducing features to improve training efficiency and visualization, while addressing potential information loss and risks of overfitting with increased dimensions. Dimensionality reduction techniques will be explored further.

Random Forests | Machine Learning from Scratch

by

As we have discussed, a Random Forest is an ensemble of Decision Trees, generally trained via the bagging method (or sometimes pasting), typically with max_samples set to the size of the training set. Instead of building a BaggingClassifier and passing it a DecisionTreeClassifier, you can instead use the RandomForestClassifier class, which is more convenient and … Read more
