Introduction

Almost every machine learning algorithm comes with a large number of settings that we, the machine learning researchers and practitioners, need to specify. These tuning knobs, the so-called hyperparameters, help us control the behavior of machine learning algorithms when optimizing for performance, finding the right balance between bias and variance. Hyperparameter tuning for performance optimization is an art in itself,…

Machine learning is a type of artificial intelligence that provides computers with the ability to learn without being explicitly programmed. The science behind machine learning is interesting and application-oriented. Many startups have disrupted the FinTech ecosystem with machine learning as their key technology.

There are various applications of machine learning used by the FinTech companies falling under different subcategories. Let us look at some of the…

Data is the new oil that has been thrown around long enough to render it a cliché by this point. However, that doesn't take away from the fact that data is among the most precious commodities globally and is likely to remain so for a very long time. It is merely because of the information it stands to provide to anyone that cares to use it. This holds for the real estate sector as well. How? Well, much like any other industry, this one too is a goldmine of data. Now that question is about…

COVID-19 is changing consumer behavior and driving more people to shop online. At BigBasket alone, we have witnessed a surge in demand by 5X – 6X during the initial days of the lockdown in India. While the pandemic has driven the global demand for essentials and goods online, it has also brought on some new challenges for the e-commerce industry.

Leveraging artificial intelligence and data science to optimize e-commerce operations

Knowledge of the basic rules of probability is a must-have for any data scientist. But if you're a visual learner like me, learning the algebraic representations of the 5 basic rules of probability (i.e. P(A) + P(B) = 1) is a challenge. I've never been very good at memorizing formulas, but images stick in my head like ear worms.  Whenever I come across a new formula, I try to make it visual with a picture or doodle. The following picture shows some of the images I created to…

My free book Bayesuvius now has 39 chapters. I had been postponing writing the chapters on Pearl causality until now, because I consider them to be the most important chapters in the whole book, and I wanted to nail them, to the best of my limited abilities. Well, I finally bit the bullet and wrote them. Please check them out, and send me feedback. I would especially like your opinion on  the chapters…

Plenty of new technologies have emerged. Some of them have quickly established themselves to virtually connect us as an integral part of, well, everything we do. One of the most important in this lot of technologies is Big Data. Given that it helps companies gather, store, process, and analyze an extensive amount of data to pursue previously undiscovered insights and details, it is understandable why it would become such a sought-after technology and that too so quickly. It also explains why…

Let start at the beginning; back in the 50’s we dreamt about robots making our tea (AI) and what we could do with our spare time, fuelled by the space race and science fiction it was a heady dream. Until that is the 80’s, where we started to ‘teach’ machines simple tasks (Machine Learning), the more times a machine completed a task the more it learnt and improved. We’ve now reached Deep Learning, where through the improvement of…

Dramatic success in machine learning has led to a torrent of Artificial Intelligence (AI) applications. Continued advances promise to produce autonomous systems that will perceive, learn, decide, and act on their own. However, the effectiveness of these systems is limited by the…

The financial world is a field of data, and the entire industry is reliant on data and figures. The fintech industry is rapidly evolving and revolves around numerous complicated transactions. Relying on century-old…

Artificial intelligence is a relatively ubiquitous phenomenon at this point. And yet, for some reason, it remains shrouded in at least a little bit of mystery. But the truth is that over the past decade, or so, this novel technology has managed to establish itself as an integral part of, well, pretty much every industry on the face of Earth. Since it continues to help companies and businesses improve virtually every aspect of their operations, there is one incredibly exciting field that has…

Many organizations have started adopting artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) solutions, yet the C-level executives are neither data scientists nor AI experts.

AI is not a new concept. However, it is only in the last decade the technology has managed to make advancements worldwide. In the present day, we’re able to speak to our mobile devices and it responds, when we’re trying to book an Uber we receive multiple options with the price updates, or even when we’re…

Tracing back to the early stage of human race where only hand gestures were used to communicate, we have come a long way where we now interact with computers, almost every day, by a new method called Natural Language Processing. Thanks to the significant rise of AI and ML technologies that help facilitate a seamless interaction between a human being and a machine.

NLP is a type of Artificial Intelligence that provides machines the capability of reading, understanding and…
