Study Notes
Gradient Descent
- It's a method used to find the best fit for a line in linear regression (specifically, the values of the slope 'm' and y-intercept 'b').
Using Google Colab for Gradient Descent
- The text mentions using a Google Colab notebook called "Linear Regression.ipynb" to implement gradient descent.
Impact of Learning Rate
- The learning rate is a crucial parameter in Gradient Descent.
- It determines the step size taken at each iteration during the search for the best-fit line.
- A low learning rate can lead to slow convergence and require many iterations to reach a minimum.
- A high learning rate can cause the algorithm to over shoot the minimum and potentially never find the solution – leading to oscillations or divergence.
Convergence of Learning Curve
- The learning curve visualizes the process of finding the best fit. It graphs the error over multiple iterations (or steps).
- It's expected to see a decrease in the error function as the algorithm progresses.
- This indicates that the model is learning and improving its ability to minimize error.
The Universality of Gradient Descent
- Gradient Descent is widely used in machine learning for various reasons:
- It can be applied to many different optimization problems, not just linear regression.
- It's a relatively simple algorithm to understand and implement.
Visualization of Hyperplane
- The text mentions visualization in the context of multiple linear regression.
- In multiple linear regression, the "hyperplane" refers to the multi-dimensional equivalent of the line in simple linear regression.
- This representation is important for understanding the relationship between the independent variables and the dependent variable in multiple linear regression.
From Simple Linear Regression to Multiple Linear Regression
- The text implies that simple linear regression (with one independent variable) can be generalized to multiple linear regression (with multiple independent variables).
- Gradient Descent can be utilized in both cases, even though the problem becomes more complex in higher dimensions.
Supervised Machine Learning
- Supervised Machine Learning focuses on learning from data with defined inputs and outputs.
- The goal is to establish relationships between inputs and outputs to predict an output for new input data.
- Supervised Learning is a common type of Machine Learning.
Regression
- Regression is a type of Supervised Machine Learning where the target column is numerical.
- Examples of regression problems include:
- Predicting a person's age from an image.
- Predicting the price of a house in a specific area.
- Predicting the average temperature or snowfall during winter.
- Predicting the cumulative score in a machine learning course.
- Predicting the number of steps taken daily.
Classification
- Classification is a type of Supervised Machine Learning where the target column is categorical (non-numerical).
- Examples of classification problems include:
- Identifying whether an email is spam or not.
- Predicting weather conditions (rain or no rain).
- Classifying objects or faces in an image.
- Determining if a dog is present in an image.
- Assigning a letter grade in a Machine Learning course.
- Classifying daily steps taken as above or below 10,000.
