MIT Machine Learning for Big Data and Text Processing Class Notes - Day 2
So after having an awesome Day 1 @ MIT, I was in CSAIL library and met Pedro Ortega, NIPS 2015 Program Manager @adaptiveagents. Celebrity sighting! Today on Day 2, Dr. Jaakkola (Bio) (Personal Webpage) professor, Electrical Engineering and Computer Science/Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL), went over the following . Non-linear classification and regression, kernels Passive aggressive algorithm Overfitting, regularization, generalization Content…
MIT Machine Learning for Big Data and Text Processing Class Notes - Day 1
As a follow up on MIT's tackling the challenges of Big Data, I am currently in Boston attending Machine Learning for Big Data and Text Processing Classification (and therefore blogging about it for posterity based on public domain data / papers - nothing posted here is MIT proprietary info to violate any T&C). MIT professional education courses are…
Deep Learning with Neural Networks
Deep learning architectures are built using multiple levels of non-linear aggregators, for instance neural nets with many hidden layers. In this introductory talk Will Stanton discusses the motivations and principles regarding learning algorithms for deep architectures. Bill provides a primer to neural networks, and deep Learning. He explains how Deep Learning gives some of the best-ever solutions to problems…
Gradient Boosting Machine Learning by Prof. Hastie
Here is Prof. Hastie's recent talk from the H2O World conference. In this talk, professor Hastie takes us through Ensemble Learners like decision trees and random forests for classification problems. Other excellent talks from the conference include the following. Michael Marks - Values and Art of Scale in Business Nachum Shacham of Paypal -…
A Deep Dive into Causality with Judea Pearl
For most researchers in the ever growing fields of probabilistic graphical models, belief networks, causal influence and probabilistic inference, ACM Turing award winner Dr. Judea Pearl and his seminary papers on causality are well-known and acknowledged. Representation and determination of Causality, the relationship between an event (the cause) and a second event (the effect), where…
