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.
