Study Notes

Underfitting in Machine Learning

  • Underfitting occurs when a machine learning model is too simple to capture the underlying patterns in the data.
  • An underfit model treats true parameters as noise, failing to identify actual relationships.
  • Overfitting happens when a model is too complex and identifies spurious relationships.
  • Labeling input data in machine learning relates to supervised or unsupervised techniques.

Big Data Characteristics

  • Volume refers to amount of available data.
  • Velocity refers to the speed at which data is communicated.
  • Variety refers to the degrees of structure in which data exists.
  • "Terabyte" refers to volume.
  • "Latency" refers to velocity.

Fintech Examples: Text Analytics

  • Text analytics analyzes unstructured data in text or voice forms.
  • Text analytics determines the frequency of words in documents.
  • Algorithmic trading is computerized securities trading, and is based on preset trading rules.
  • Natural language processing employs computers and AI to interpret human language.

Fintech Definition

  • Fintech includes technological developments with applications in financial services.
  • Fintech also includes the industry that develops these technologies.
  • A large portion of data exists in unstructured forms.
  • Automated investment advice is a potential application of fintech.

Data Processing Methods

  • Curation focuses on data quality and accuracy through data cleaning.
  • Capture refers to collecting and transforming data in preparation for analysis.
  • Search refers to how data will be queried.

Risk Management & Data

  • Techniques to assess and manage risk: They require large amounts of quantitative and qualitative data.
  • Techniques to assess and manage risk: Includes scenario analysis and simulations

Curation Defined

  • Curation means ensuring data quality.
  • Curation example: Adjusting data for bad/missing values.
  • Word clouds are a visualization technique, not related to data curation.
  • Transfer refers to moving data from a storage medium to where it is needed.

Supervised Learning Explained

  • Supervised learning: A machine is given labeled input and output data.
  • Supervised learning: The machine then models the output data based on the input data.
  • Unsupervised learning: A machine is given input data to identify patterns and relationships. There is no output data to model.
  • Deep learning: A technique to identify patterns of increasing complexity, it may use supervised or unsupervised learning.

Defining Artificial Intelligence

  • Artificial intelligence: Computer systems that emulate the functioning of the human mind.
  • Internet of Things: Networks of smart devices and buildings.
  • Data science: The field of study concerned with extracting information from data.
