Study Notes

Gradient Descent

  • Goal: Minimize the cost function in machine learning.

Vectorized Calculations

  • Essential operation: Element-wise operations on arrays for efficient calculations.
  • NumPy's numpy.dot() performs matrix multiplication or dot product.

Sigmoid Function

  • Output range: 0 to 1.

Vectorization in Python

  • Critical for machine learning: Optimize performance and reduce execution time, especially for large datasets.

Cost Function

  • Purpose: Determine the loss between predictions and actual values for model optimization.

Decision Boundary Creation

  • Appropriate library: Matplotlib.

Sigmoid Derivative

  • Calculation: Sigmoid(x) * (1 - Sigmoid(x)).

Gradient Descent Techniques

  • Efficiency: Batch, mini-batch, or stochastic gradient descent for efficient gradient descent.

Python Libraries in Machine Learning

  • Less Common Library: Django (used for web development, not machine learning).
  • Common Libraries: NumPy, Scikit-learn, TensorFlow.

NumPy exp() Function

  • Operation: Calculates the exponential of elements in an array.

Code Readability

  • Best practice: Write functions with clear docstrings for better readability and understanding.

Decision Boundary

  • Definition: A region that distinguishes data points belonging to different classes.

NumPy Array Operations

  • Dot Product Example: import numpy as np; a = np.array([1, 2, 3]); b = np.array([4, 5, 6]); result = np.dot(a, b); print(result) returns 32.

Learning Rate and Convergence

  • Problem with High Learning Rate: Skipping optimal solution due to large adjustments in parameters.

ReLU Function

  • Operation: Outputs the maximum between 0 and the input value.

Vectorization

  • Nature of operations: Applies element-wise operations efficiently to matrices.

NumPy Broadcasting

  • Purpose: Aligns array shapes for efficient element-wise operations.

Machine Learning Data Structures

  • Best choice for large matrix operations: NumPy arrays.

Decision Boundary Issues

  • Problems with misplacing decision boundary: Underfitting or overfitting the data.
