Now, back to our formula 3.49: The definition of Entropy for a probability distribution (from The Deep Learning Book) I(x) is the information content of X. I(x) itself is a random variable. In our example, the possible outcomes of the War. Thus, H(x) is the expected value of every possible information. Using the definition of expected … Read more The intuition behind Shannon’s Entropy
Sep 29, 2018 Nearly all sectors use time series data to forecast future time points. Forecasting future can assist analysts and management in making better calculated decisions to maximise returns and minimise risks. I will be demonstrating how we can forecast exchange rates in this article. If you are new to finance and want to … Read more Forecasting Exchange Rates Using ARIMA In Python
I bought a plane ticket to the US with no return flight. I’d been studying for a year and I figured it was about time I started putting my skills into practice. My plan was to rock up to the US and get hired. Then Ashlee messaged me on LinkedIn, “Hey I’ve seen your posts … Read more ‘I want to learn Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning. Where can I start?’
Fast RCNN So the next idea from the same authors: Why not create convolution map of input image and then just select the regions from that convolutional map? Do we really need to run so many convnets? What we can do is run just a single convnet and then apply region proposal crops on the … Read more Object Detection using Deep Learning Approaches: An End to End Theoretical Perspective
Computing the histogram In this section, the histogram was calculated by implementation of python programming code (Python 3.6). For python 3.6, There are a lot of common modules using in image processing such as Pillow, Numpy, OpenCV, etc. but in this program Pillow and Numpy module was used. To import the image from your computer, … Read more Image Processing Class (EGBE443) #2 -Histogram

Before I get into solutions I think it is important to discuss some overarching themes of deep learning. Training Objectives Remember that when we create a neural network, what we are effectively doing is designing an experiment. We have data, a model architecture and a training objective. The data you provide is the models universe … Read more Lazy Neural Networks

Sep 11, 2018 In this blog, we are going to build a neural network(multilayer perceptron) using TensorFlow and successfully train it to recognize digits in the image. Tensorflow is a very popular deep learning framework released by, and this notebook will guide for build a neural network with this library. If you want to understand … Read more Multi-Layer perceptron using Tensorflow
Sep 9, 2018 We have completed our first basic supervised learning model i.e. Linear Regression model in the last post here. Thus in this post we get started with the most basic unsupervised learning algorithm- K-means Clustering. Let’s get started without further ado! Background: K-means clustering as the name itself suggests, is a clustering algorithm, … Read more Diving into K-Means…

When we do time series analysis, we are usually interested either in uncovering causal relationships (Does \(X_t\) influence \(Y_{t+1}\)?) or in getting the most accurate forecast possible. Especially in the second case it can be beneficial to transform our historical data to make it easier to extract a signal. A very common transformation is to … Read more Box Cox Transformation
