Lasso and Ridge Regularisation for Feature Selection in Classification | Embedded Method | KGP Talkie

What is Regularisation? Regularization adds a penalty on the different parameters of the model to reduce the freedom of the model. Hence, the model will be less likely to fit the noise of the training data and will improve the generalization abilities of the model. There are basically 3-types of Read more…

Logistic Regression with Python in Machine Learning | KGP Talkie

What is Logistic Regression? Logistic Regression is a Machine Learning algorithm which is used for the classification problems, it is a predictive analysis algorithm and based on the concept of probability. Logistic regression is basically a supervised classification algorithm. In a classification problem, the target variable(or output),y, can take only Read more…

PCA with Python | Principal Component Analysis Machine Learning | KGP Talkie

Principal Component Analysis(PCA) According to Wikipedia, PCA is a statistical procedure that uses an orthogonal transformation to convert a set of observations of possibly correlated variables (entities each of which takes on various numerical values) into a set of values of linearly uncorrelated variables called principal components. Principal components These Read more…

K-Mean Clustering in Python | Machine Learning | KGP Talkie

What is K-Mean Clustering? Machine Learning can broadly be classified into three types: Supervised Learning Unsupervised Learning Semi-supervised Learning K-means algorithm identifies k number of centroids, and then allocates every data point to the nearest cluster, while keeping the centroids as small as possible. The ‘means’ in the K-means refers Read more…

What is it? A Random Forest is an ensemble technique which can have capable of performing both regression and classification tasks with the use of multiple decision trees and a technique called Bootstrap and Aggregation, commonly known as bagging. The basic idea behind this is to combine multiple decision trees Read more…

SVM with Python | Support Vector Machines (SVM) Vector Machines Machine Learning | KGP Talkie

What is Support Vector Machines (SVM) We will start our discussion with little introduction about SVM. Support Vector Machine(SVM) is a supervised binary classification algorithm. Given a set of points of two types in N-dimensional place SVM generates a (N−1) dimensional hyperplane to separate those points into two groups. A Read more…
