Neural Networks and Deep Learning

Neural Networks A neural network is a computational model inspired by the structure and function of the human brain. It consists of interconnected nodes, or neurons, organized in layers. These neurons process information and learn from data.   Components of a Neural Network: How Neural Networks Learn: Neural networks learn through a process called backpropagation. … Read more

Policy Gradient Methods

Policy Gradient Methods are a class of reinforcement learning algorithms that directly optimize a policy to maximize expected return. Unlike value-based methods like Q-learning, which learn a value function and then derive a policy, policy gradient methods learn the policy directly. Core Concept The policy, denoted as πθ(a|s), is parameterized by θ. The goal is … Read more

Q-Learning

Q-Learning: A Deep Dive Q-learning is a reinforcement learning algorithm that learns the optimal action to take in a given state to maximize a reward. It’s a model-free approach, meaning it doesn’t require knowledge of the environment’s dynamics. Core Concept The heart of Q-learning is the Q-value, which represents the expected future reward for taking … Read more

Markov Decision Processes

A Markov Decision Process (MDP) is a mathematical framework for modeling decision-making in situations where outcomes are partly random and partly under the control of a decision-maker. It’s a fundamental concept in reinforcement learning.   Components of an MDP The Markov Property The core assumption of an MDP is the Markov property, which states that … Read more

Reinforcement Learning

Reinforcement Learning (RL) is a machine learning technique where an agent learns to make decisions by interacting with an environment. The agent’s goal is to maximize a cumulative reward signal. Unlike supervised learning, there’s no direct teaching; instead, the agent learns through trial and error. Key Components of Reinforcement Learning The Reinforcement Learning Process Challenges … Read more

Anomaly Detection

Anomaly detection, also known as outlier detection, is the process of identifying data points, items, or events that deviate significantly from the norm. These anomalies can indicate errors, fraud, system failures, or interesting discoveries. Types of Anomalies Anomaly Detection Techniques Challenges in Anomaly Detection Applications of Anomaly Detection Key Considerations Read More..

Dimensionality Reduction (PCA)

Dimensionality Reduction: Principal Component Analysis (PCA) Principal Component Analysis (PCA) is a statistical technique used to transform a large set of variables into a smaller one that still contains most of the information in the large set. It’s a popular method for dimensionality reduction, which is crucial when dealing with high-dimensional data. How PCA Works … Read more

Clustering (K-Means, Hierarchical)

Clustering: K-Means and Hierarchical Clustering Clustering is an unsupervised machine learning technique that involves grouping similar data points together. The goal is to discover underlying patterns or structures within the data. Two of the most popular clustering algorithms are K-Means and Hierarchical Clustering. K-Means Clustering K-Means is a partitioning method that divides data into a … Read more

Unsupervised Learning

Unsupervised learning is a branch of machine learning where algorithms learn from unlabeled data. Unlike supervised learning, there’s no predefined target variable or outcome. Instead, the algorithm is tasked with finding hidden patterns, structures, or groupings within the data. How it Works Unsupervised learning algorithms explore data and discover patterns without human guidance. They identify … Read more
