What are the 4 types of data that Machine Learning can use?
Most data can be categorized into 4 basic types from a Machine Learning perspective: numerical data, categorical data, time-series data, and text.
What is variability Machine Learning?
Wikipedia states, “… variance is an error from sensitivity to small fluctuations in the training set. High variance can cause an algorithm to model the random noise in the training data, rather than the intended outputs (overfitting) .” Variance is the difference between many model’s predictions.
What is Overfitting and Underfitting in Machine Learning?
Overfitting: Good performance on the training data, poor generliazation to other data. Underfitting: Poor performance on the training data and poor generalization to other data.
How does machine learning work with small data sets?
From an ML perspective, small data requires models that have low complexity (or high bias) to avoid overfitting the model to the data. I noticed that the Naive Bayes algorithm is among the simplest classifiers and as a result learns remarkably well from relatively small data sets.
Which is an example of a technique in machine learning?
A technique is a way of solving a problem. For example, classification (which we’ll see later on) is a technique for grouping things that are similar. To actually do classification on some data, a data scientist would have to employ a specific algorithm like decision trees (though there are many other classification algorithms to choose from).
How to measure variance in a machine learning model?
Measure Algorithm Variance: The variance introduced by the stochastic nature of the algorithm can be measured by repeating the evaluation of the algorithm on the same training dataset and calculating the variance or standard deviation of the model skill.
How are supervised machine learning models being used?
Supervised machine learning models are being successfully used to respond to a whole range of business challenges. However, these models are data-hungry, and their performance relies heavily on the size of training data available. In many cases, it is difficult to create training datasets that are large enough.
