Meta-Learning For Better Machine Learning

Rocket-Powered Data Science

So, you start by assuming a value for k and making random assumptions about the cluster means, and then iterate until you find the optimal set of clusters, based upon some evaluation metric. The above example (clustering) is taken from unsupervised machine learning (where there are no labels on the training data).

Fundamentals of Data Mining

Data Science 101

This data alone does not make any sense unless it’s identified to be related in some pattern. Data mining is the process of discovering these patterns among the data and is therefore also known as Knowledge Discovery from Data (KDD). Machine learning provides the technical basis for data mining.

Data Scientist’s Dilemma – The Cold Start Problem

Rocket-Powered Data Science

This wisdom applies not only to life but to machine learning also. Specifically, the availability and application of labeled data (things past) for the labeling of previously unseen data (things future) is fundamental to supervised machine learning. This would be a problem.
