Introduction to Data in Machine Learning

 

 Introduction to Data in Machine Learning



DATA: It can be any unprocessed fact, value, text, sound, or picture that is not being interpreted and analyzed. Data is the most important part of all Data Analytics, Machine Learning, Artificial Intelligence. Without data, we can’t train any model and all modern research and automation will go in vain. Big Enterprises are spending lots of money just to gather as much certain data as possible.


Example: Why did Facebook acquire WhatsApp by paying a huge price of $19 billion?
The answer is very simple and logical – it is to have access to the users’ information that Facebook may not have but WhatsApp will have. This information of their users is of paramount importance to Facebook as it will facilitate the task of improvement in their services.


INFORMATION: Data that has been interpreted and manipulated and has now some meaningful inference for the users.


KNOWLEDGE: Combination of inferred information, experiences, learning, and insights. Results in awareness or concept building for an individual or organization.



How we split data in Machine Learning?

  • Training Data: The part of data we use to train our model. This is the data that your model actually sees(both input and output) and learns from.
  • Validation Data: The part of data that is used to do a frequent evaluation of the model, fit on the training dataset along with improving involved hyperparameters (initially set parameters before the model begins learning). This data plays its part when the model is actually training.
  • Testing Data: Once our model is completely trained, testing data provides an unbiased evaluation. When we feed in the inputs of Testing data, our model will predict some values(without seeing actual output). After prediction, we evaluate our model by comparing it with the actual output present in the testing data. This is how we evaluate and see how much our model has learned from the experiences feed in as training data, set at the time of training.

Properties of Data –

  1. Volume: Scale of Data. With the growing world population and technology at exposure, huge data is being generated each and every millisecond.
  2. Variety: Different forms of data – healthcare, images, videos, audio clippings.
  3. Velocity: Rate of data streaming and generation.
  4. Value: Meaningfulness of data in terms of information that researchers can infer from it.
  5. Veracity: Certainty and correctness in data we are working on.

Some facts about Data:

  • As compared to 2005, 300 times i.e. 40 Zettabytes (1ZB=10^21 bytes) of data will be generated by 2020.
  • By 2011, the healthcare sector has a data of 161 Billion Gigabytes
  • 400 Million tweets are sent by about 200 million active users per day
  • Each month, more than 4 billion hours of video streaming are done by the users.
  • 30 Billion different types of content are shared every month by the user.
  • It is reported that about 27% of data is inaccurate and so 1 in 3 business idealists or leaders don’t trust the information on which they are making decisions.

WHAT ARE NEURAL NETWORKS? | Comingfly

WHAT ARE NEURAL NETWORKS ? Neural Networks the process of machine learning are neural networks. These are brain-inspired networks of interconnected layers of algorithms, called neurons, that feed data into each other, and which can be trained to carry out specific tasks by modifying the importance attributed to input data as it passes between the layers. During training of these neural networks, the weights attached to different inputs will continue to be varied until the output from the neural network is very close to what is desired, at which point the network will have 'learned' how to carry out a particular task. A subset of machine learning is deep learning, where neural networks are expanded into sprawling networks with a huge number of layers that are trained using massive amounts of data. It is these deep neural networks that have fueled the current leap forward in the ability of computers to carry out task like speech recognition and computer vision. T he...

What is Cyber Security | Comingfly

What is Cyber Security The Cyber security or information technology security are the techniques of protecting computers, networks, programs and data from unauthorized access or attacks that are aimed for exploitation. Description:  Major areas covered in cyber security are: 1)  Application Security 2)  Information Security 3)  Disaster recovery 4)  Network Security Application security encompasses measures or counter-measures that are taken during the development life-cycle to protect applications from threats that can come through flaws in the application design, development, deployment, upgrade or maintenance. Some basic techniques used for application security are:  a)  Input parameter validation,  b) User/Role Authentication & Authorization,  c)  Session management, parameter manipulation & exception management, and  d)  Auditing and logging. Information security protects information from unauthori...
