How to be expert in Machine Learning

One should know how to play with data

First of all the main thing, we need to be focused on before stepping into machine learning is that we should know how to play with data. Because believe all the geeks sitting out there doing machine learning and other cool stuff is all because they know how to play with data.

Note: Hereby playing with data means is you should know how to manipulate the data or reshape the data into something that model can understand and make sense from it and able to predict the new value.

So what one fresher or maybe who know something but not pro should need for playing with data is only some tools like

Pandas — For Python

By pandas, one can do anything that he/she can do with data. literally anything.

Applying ML Models

After you need the data you wanted to feed the model you will have to do only 2% of the work you did for reshaping the data. Because now you have to use 2 golden words of machine learning FP

.Fit()

.Predict()

It will be going to some for any model you use just import and use these two functions for train and predict.

So to become an ML expert you need to know data manipulation only rest is just 2 golden words.

Random Forest and how it works

Random Forest Random Forest is a Machine Learning Algorithm based on Decision Trees. Random forest works on the ensemble method which is very common these days. The ensemble method means that to make a decision collectively based on the decision trees. Actually, we make a prediction, not simply based on One Decision Tree, but by an unanimous Prediction, made by ‘ K’ Decision Trees. Why should we use There are four reasons why should we us e the random forest algorithm. The one is that it can be used for both classification and regression businesses. Overfitting is one critical problem that may make the results worse, but for the Random Forest algorithm, if there are enough trees in the forest, the classifier won’t overfit the model. The third reason is the classifier of Random Forest can handle missing values , and the last advantage is that the Random Forest classifier can be modeled for categorical values. How does the Random...

DBSCAN Clustering Algorithm-with maths

DBSCAN is a short-form of D ensity- B ased S patial C lustering of A pplications with N oise. It is an unsupervised algorithm that will take the set of points and make them into some sets which have the same properties. It is based on the density-based clustering and it will mark the outliers also which do not lie in any of the cluster or set. There are some terms that we need to know before we proceed further for algorithm: Density Reachability A point “p” is said to be density reachable from a point “q” if point “p” is within ε distance from point “q” and “q” has a sufficient number of points in its neighbors which are within distance ε. Density Connectivity A point “p” and “q” are said to be density connected if there exists a point “r” which has a sufficient number of points in its neighbors and both the points “p” and “q” is within the ε distance. This is a chaining process. So, if “q” is neighbor of “r”, “r” is neighbor of “s”, “s” ...

How to be a HERO in Machine Learning/Data Science Competitions

At present to master machine learning models one has to participate in the competition which is appearing in various platforms. So how somebody who is new to ml can become a hero from zero . The guideline is in this article. The idea for this is not too hard. Just patience and some hard work are required. I will take an example of a Competition that is just finished within top 10. So the competition generally gives you the problem in which some of the features are hidden because they want you to explore the data and come up with the feature that explains the target value. By exploring I mean to say the few things: Look at the data. Get the sense of the data. Find the correlation of all features with a target value. Try new features made up of existing features. Exploration needs some cleaning of the data also. Because in general, the host will add the noise into the data so that it becomes a trouble for us to achieve good accuracy. By cleaning I...
