The most commonly used equation to determine the quality of data, be it predicted, measured or estimated, is the Mean Squared Error. Here is another page from my AI Compendium, briefly outline its use as a cost function. #ainotes #aicompendium #costfunction #mse
The perceptron algorithm together with the Heaviside function can only be used for binary classification. In order to use the algorithm for other types of classifications, there are several other functions which can be used. Non-linear activation functions can be used in order to separate data that is not linearly seperable. Popular activation functions:
Named after the English mathematician and physicist Oliver Heaviside, the Heaviside step function was used in Rosenblatt’s perceptron. It is a piecewise function and is mathematically defined as The Heaviside step function essentially gives the perceptron algorithm its binary decision-making property.
The perceptron algorithm is a basic artificial neuron and is considered to be a building block of neural networks. It takes inputs, applies weights and produces output using an activation function. A supervised learning algorithm, it is a binary classifier, separating data points using a linear combination of the input variables. The algorithm consists of
Review: MITx 6.431xProbability – The Science of Uncertainty and Data Last year I decided to enroll myself in another Micro-Masters program. The Statistics and Data Science Micro-Masters program is offered by MIT on the edX platform. The program consists of taking 4 courses and a capstone exam at the end. I started the program by taking
I recently completed the Emerging Automotive Technologies MicroMasters program offered by Chalmers University of Technology via the edX platform, and highly recommend it for anyone looking to get up-to-date with current automotive technologies. The program is also accessible to those working full-time jobs, with courses structured to balance the demands of work and learning. The
After a lot of thought and back-forth, I finally overcame my apprehension and decided to enroll in my very first MicroMasters Program offered on the edX platform. My motivation was not to enhance my resume, but to really immerse myself in a new topic. I decided to enroll in the program instead of auditing because
