Understanding Generative Models and Applications

Posted on April 5, 2021 by Sandeep Kumar

Generative Models are a form of unsupervised learning models and the outcome goal is to generate new data points by understanding underlying distributions of data points in the dataset. After the deep learning revolution, Generative models are very popular and widely used in applications and researc...

Understand Confusion Matrix Using Real-life Classification Example

Posted on March 25, 2020 by Sandeep Kumar

First I’d like to explain what is the use of a confusion matrix. Classification Problems are solved using Supervised Machine learning algorithms. In these problems, our goal is to categories an object using its features. For e.g, Identify a fruit using its taste, color and size or check out ...

What is the difference between Variance and Bias in Machine Learning?

Posted on February 8, 2020 by Sandeep Kumar

From the perspective of Supervised Machine Learning, we know all models have errors. We need to minimize the error so as to make the model useful. For this, we need to minimize two major sources of error- Bias and Variance. What is Bias? The tendency of the algorithm to learn wrong details from the ...
