    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
