Talk: Back to Basics: Approaches to Machine Learning
In the contemporary world of learning algorithms, along with the aggregate domains plying machine learning, the complexity of the models has been inching up. Thus it is important to approach machine learning in a conceptual way. In this talk,
I’ll present an informal taxonomy of machine learning algorithms, grouped on the basis of the different mathematical abstractions.
I will cover logical models, with tree based or rule based concepts, geometric models, including linear and distance based approaches, and probabilistic models. I will go over the fundamentals of each type of model and discuss their pros and cons and use cases along with a very simple hands-on example.
The talk will conclude with some pointers on how to explore the data and choose a model to make the learning more efficient.
My book
Sculpting Data for ML is the title of a new book I co-authored with Rishabh Misra, my colleague at Twitter. Want to learn how to create your very own quality datasets using Python and other open source tools? This is the book to have. It’s available at Amazon.
