Hands-on ML Algorithms

During the session with Vikram Sir, we did hands on various machine learning algorithms namely linear regression and logistic regression. We implemented logistic regression on a dataset provided by sir. The Steps are as follows:
  • Perform EDA on the dataset.
  • Using Feature Engineering techniques extract important features from the dataset.
  • Model Building

EDA

 Exploratory Data Analysis helps to remove noise , missing values from the dataset. EDA gives a better insight about the dataset .

Feature Engineering

 Feature engineering is the process of using domain knowledge of the data to create features that make machine learning algorithms work. If feature engineering is done correctly, it increases the predictive power of machine learning algorithms by creating features from raw data that help facilitate the machine learning process.

Model Building

 Pyhton's scikit learn library has various built-in ML Algo which are efficient enough. We learned about how to use them on the data and get predictions.


ISB Lecture 2

Prof. Sarabjot gave a lecture about machine learning providing statistical and theoratical indepth knowledge.

Day 1 - Numpy Revision

Numpy Revision  We made a python program for the following random walk question: Say you are standing at the bottom of a staircase with a dice. With each throw of the dice, you either move down one step (if you get a 1 or 2 on the dice) or move up one step (if you get a 3, 4 or 5 on the dice). If you throw a 6 on the dice, you throw the dice again and move up the staircase by the number you get on that second throw. Note if you are on the base of the staircase you cannot move down! What is the probability that you will reach more than 60 steps after 250 throws of the dice? This question required the knowledge of np.random.seed. It s eeds the generator.  It makes the random numbers predictable. When the value is reset, the same numbers will appear every time. If a  seed is  not assigned , NumPy automatically selects a random seed value based on the system's random number generator device or on the clock The code was as follows: import numpy as np np.random.seed(1

Lecture - Design Thinking This week we had a session with Mandeep Singh Kwatria on Design Thinking to help thinking about good innovative ideas. Design Thinking is a design methodology that provides a solution-based approach to solving problems. It’s extremely useful in tackling complex problems that are ill-defined or unknown, by understanding the human needs involved, by re-framing the problem in human-centric ways, by creating many ideas in brainstorming sessions, and by adopting a hands-on approach in prototyping and testing. The three Design Thinking Phases are: Inspire Ideate Implement   A ground-breaking innovation will be desirable, feasible and viable. Paddy Crop Project Along with other work, we also had a project from one of our professors related to paddy (confidential) which we worked on using the knowledge we got in this internship.

Ropar's Accident data Our company was given Ropar's Accident data by the Government to analyze and submit insights from the data that could be helpful to the government for reducing the number of serious accidents. We analyzed the data by using Tableau with the help of pie charts, histograms, etc. We also made dashboards and stories which gave us a really good insight of the data.   Convolutional Neural Networks We referred to the CMU's course on deep learning for understanding this concept.This lecture was taught by Bhiksha Raj Sir. CNNs, like neural networks, are made up of neurons with learnable weights and biases. Each neuron receives several inputs, takes a weighted sum over them, pass it through an activation function and responds with an output. Unlike neural networks, where the input is a vector, here the input is a multi-channeled image. The wholw network has a loss function. CNNs have wide applications in image and video recognition, re
