    Study Notes

    Regression Problems

    • Type of learning task: Regression
    • Performance measure commonly used: RMSE (Root Mean Squared Error)
    • RMSE stands for: Root Mean Squared Error
    • X represents: Input feature(s)

    Error Measures

    • MAE stands for: Mean Absolute Error
    • Consider MAE over RMSE: when outliers are frequent and variability in errors is high
    • RMSE generally preferred over MAE: when outliers are rare, as it penalizes large errors more heavily

    Linear Regression

    • MSE stands for: Mean Squared Error
    • Parameters updated iteratively using gradient descent method: Weights ( coefficients ) and bias
    • Technique used to optimize cost function: Gradient Descent
    • Purpose of learning algorithm: To minimize the cost function and make predictions

    Loss Functions

    • MAE used: when outliers are frequent and variability in errors is high
    • Opt for MAE over MSE: when outliers are frequent and variability in errors is high
    • MSE used: when outliers are rare, as it penalizes large errors more heavily

    Binary Classification

    • Numerical digits expressed: as 0 and 1
    • Cross-Entropy measures: the difference between predicted probabilities and true labels
    • Binary Cross-Entropy Loss function represents: the difference between predicted probabilities and true labels

    Model Evaluation

    • Cross-Validation beneficial: as it helps prevent overfitting and improves model generalization
    • Purpose of K-fold Cross-Validation: to evaluate model performance by training and testing on different subsets of data
