    I binge watched the whole series and I would like to take of my hat off! Thank you for putting together this concise, well thought-out course that has helped me to practice and deepen my knowledge in the area. What a world we live in where we not only have these powerful technologies at our disposal, but where we can also get to know them so easily.

    I am a programmer for years and recently got into data sciences for work related stuff. I read a few books and articles and took a course on the topic. But i have to say: You condensed the knowledge so effectively and presented it so clearly and easy to understand that i probably learned more from this playlist, than from all the other resources. Thank you very much.

    Your videos helped me to pick up R. Before this I did transformations of excels provided to me in Power BI (newbie data analyst here). Well it works, but.. It's not pretty. And sometimes painfully slow.
    While going through these series, I learned how powerful R is, and the concepts You tell about - I didn't even know about anything of that.
    These series are invaluable for those, who pick up data analysis with no background education - just learning on their own.
    Now I implement R scrips in my own solutions and clients are happy :) Thank You for the outstanding work. Very, very highly appreciated.

    I watched this whole series in one morning (on 2x speed, Dr. Pound, your voice is incredible when it's sped up!). I've taken some university level statistics and computer science courses, currently taking an introductory linear algebra course. It was fascinating to see how these seemingly disparate disciplines come together to form data science. I am so excited by this content and I can't wait to learn more about machine learning! As usual, thank you for your charismatic and approachable teaching style, and I look forward to many more videos from you in the future!

    Hi Sean and Mike! Awesome series!! I really enjoyed he deep dive into this topic, showing practical applications (using code and data sets, and using programs and methods that are really being used today). Single videos often are great for introducing topics, but for real world discussions, it often requires longer series like this where the ideas are built up with the assumption we have seen the previous episodes (and have that understanding) so more abstract ideas can be discussed without repeating too much.
    Take away points:
    - awesome work in this series. I really learned a lot and honestly believe this will help me use matlab/r/etc. in my work in more ways that I could previously.
    - the deep dive series format is awesome and should be continued on other topics. (Cryptography, data structures, programming methods...)
    - showing actual code running is always great to see. Drawings on paper are great at conveying ideas, but code solidified that it is really usable.
    - thanks as always for the great work!!

    Critical temperature in kelvin is a "ratio quantity", as per the Noir classification from video 0 of the series, meaning absolute zero is well defined. Furthermore, all temperatures are positive and span several orders of magnitude (from tens of milikelvin to tens of kelvin). Thus, it would make sense to use the logarithm as the fitted variable. Similarly, for all positive definite ratio quantities in the dataset, take the logarithm and only then perform a linear regression. I would be very much interested to see the results of that regression.

    This series is great for people who have a little bit of background in programming and/or statistics, but I think some people would be put off by all the terminology used.
    Yes, much has already been excluded to keep things simple and easy to approach, but there are still some instances where Dr Pound just throws a new term at the viewer which sounds complicated and scary.
    I guess it just depends on who the target audience is - I think a few small changes would make it more approachable to even high school students, but that might take away from the experience for others.

      Check out the series Neural Networks Demystified from Welch Labs. Episodes 3 and 4 should answer your question but I definitely recommend the whole series.
      Quick and easy answer is we use calculus to determine the direction each weight should move in order to make the actual output move closer to the desired output. In practice, use something like Tensorflow and it does all this for you. It is still useful to understand though. Hope this helps :D

    @isabellabihy8631 Před 5 lety

    That's quite difficult to grasp for me: a neural network (in the computing sense, not biological) is a set of linear equations? I must have missed something.
    I just finished binge watching each of the nine episodes. Superbly done. The episodes 1 through 8 shook some latent knowledge of statistics out of the dank recesses in my brain. But you lost me on episode 9. What are those hidden attributes between the input attributes and the output? Is that a representation or other perspective on the decision tree you discussed in a previous episode?

    • @ruroruro
      @ruroruro Před 5 lety +2

      The hidden attributes usually don't have any intrinsic meaning. Rather than calling them attributes, perhaps something like "temporary outputs" might be more appropriate.
      An interesting point to mention, is that although you don't assign any explicit meaning to these hidden outputs, it is surprisingly common to see the network **naturally** converge in such a way, that these non-constrained intermediate outputs actually seem to strongly correlate with some high level attributes (not included in the input data) that a human might think about, when answering the questions, that the network is trained for.
      For example, a convolutional neural network might have hidden layer outputs (also called features), that strongly correlate with presence of shapes and textures, that might be related to the important objects in the image.

      @@ruroruro thanks for your response. I watched the episode again, I'm still stuck. I'm wondering how you'd label the hidden neurons? In order to put a linear relation between a node of the hidden neurons and the input attributes they must have been derived from the original data. That's my thought. The input attributes may be a result of the PCA, what data are represented in the hidden neurons.

      @@ruroruro It took a while. I hope I got it now. Using Dr Pound's example with the input attributes a, b, and c, the hidden neurons y1,...y4 I get these equations
      y1=w11a+w12b+w13c
      y2=w21a+w22b+w23c
      y3=w31a+w32b+w33c
      y4=w41a+w42b+w43c
      Let the output node be r, w1,...w4 be the weights applied to the hidden neurons. Then you could use two equations, either
      r=w1y1+w2y2+w3y3+w4y4
      or
      r=w1y1*w2y2*w3y3*w4y4.
      Ok, I understand the hidden neurons now as a set of possible outcomes, depending on the weights applied to the input attributes. So they are not fixated on a result. The result is determined by the weights applied to the possible outcomes y1,...y4.
      RuRo, thanks for your patience. Have a nice day.

      @@isabellabihy8631 Not exactly. Mike has covered this briefly but probably it was a bit confusing. Each neuron in the network has the activation function which transforms a linear sum of inputs into an output. If you just make activation function linear, there is indeed no point in having more than one layer in the network. But generally, what a neuron outputs (and feeds to the neurons in the next layer) overgoes a transformation using some kind of a sigmoid function. There's a bunch of those to choose from, Mike has mentioned tanh; that along with softplus and ReLU are probably the most popular ones used now. The activation function is the very thing making multilayer networks making sense. Each neuron has it and it is introducing nonlinearity.

      @@Lodinn Thank you for the response. Yes, it would be too simple with just linear equations. Then more questions boil up. But let's just stop it here.
      My wish is: Dr Pound, please do a more detailed look at neural networks, covering also how come up with the activation equations. That would be fantastic.
