5 Amazing Deep Learning Frameworks Every Data Scientist Must Know! (with Illustrated Infographic)

Introduction I have been a programmer since before I can remember. I enjoy writing codes from scratch – this helps me understand that topic (or technique) clearly. This approach is especially helpful when we’re learning data science initially. Try to implement a neural network from scratch and you’ll understand a lot of interest things. But do you think this is a good idea when building deep learning models on a real-world dataset? It’s definitely possible if you have days or […]

Handling Imbalanced Data – Machine Learning, Computer Vision and NLP

This article was published as a part of the Data Science Blogathon. Introduction: In the real world, the data we gather will be heavily imbalanced most of the time. so, what is an Imbalanced Dataset?. The training samples are not equally distributed across the target classes.  For instance, if we take the case of the personal loan classification problem, it is effortless to get the ‘not approved’ data, in contrast to,  ‘approved’ details. As a result, the model is more […]

Gradient Descent in Python: Implementation and Theory

Introduction This tutorial is an introduction to a simple optimization technique called gradient descent, which has seen major application in state-of-the-art machine learning models. We’ll develop a general purpose routine to implement gradient descent and apply it to solve different problems, including classification via supervised learning. In this process, we’ll gain an insight into the working of this algorithm and study the effect of various hyper-parameters on its performance. We’ll also go over batch and stochastic gradient descent variants as […]
