K-Means Clustering: All You Need to Know

In machine learning, we are often in the realm of “function approximation”. That is, we have a certain ground-truth (y) and associated variables (X) and our aim is to use identify a function to wrap our variables in that does a good job in approximating the ground-truth. This exercise in function approximation is also known as “supervised-learning”.  

Foundations of Machine Learning

Bloomberg presents "Foundations of Machine Learning," a training course that was initially delivered internally to the company's software engineers as part of its "Machine Learning EDU" initiative. This course covers a wide variety of topics in machine learning and statistical modeling. The primary goal of the class is to help participants gain a deep understanding of the concepts, techniques and mathematical frameworks used by experts in machine learning. It is designed to make valuable machine learning skills more accessible to individuals with a strong math background, including software developers, experimental scientists, engineers and financial professionals.

Intro to optimization in deep learning: Busting the myth about batch normalization

Recognize these people? If not, these people call themselves The Myth Busters. Heck, they've even got a show of their own on discovery channel where they try to live up to their name, trying to bust myths like whether you can cut a jail bar by repeatedly eroding it with a dental floss. (Warning: Do not try this during your sentence).
