Choosing the Right Machine Learning Model: When & Why?

Image
Selecting the right machine learning model depends on the problem, data type, interpretability, and computational constraints. Below is a structured guide explaining which model to use, why it makes sense, why other models might not be suitable, and real-world examples.   1. Supervised Learning (Labeled Data)  Classification (Predicting Categories)    1. Logistic Regression - Use When : The data is linearly separable, and interpretability is important.   - Why It Makes Sense : Outputs probabilities, making it useful for decision-making.   - Why Others Don't :     - Decision Trees & Random Forest can overfit on small datasets.     - SVM may be overkill for simple problems.     - Neural Networks require large data and are computationally expensive.   - Real-World Example : Credit Scoring Systems – Banks use logistic regression to predict whether a borrower will default on a loan. ...

The most underrated superpower!

The way things are done in the world is through a combination of focus, personal connection, self-belief and persistence.  I understand that it's a fairly strong line to start a blog with. A blog, after a long time! Well, learning doesn't come easy. It takes time to learn something worth sharing with the world on the internet. The older generation also gets the Nobel prize for it sometimes. What matters is whether or not we have a story to tell, a lesson to learn, a joke to laugh about and a memory to cherish for whatever forever we have destined for us.  Life is nothing short of a movie, but what took me some time to realise is that I get to decide what actually happens in it! I am the main character!  Well if only, it had been so simple, I would literally be the next Harvey Specter, would've had my own Cessna, no evening would go without me flying it, and would've made significant differences and contributions in  Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence for t...

The Rush of Independence!

Time! A funny concept; to understand it, even a genius like Stephen Hawking had to put in about 1,000 hours during his three years at Oxford! It is said that time is something which never stops and we humans have all the control of our actions as time rapidly passes by. The point is that in such a populated world, every individual of any race, shape or community has the same amount of time as one another and each one of us goes through the same phases of life, the only difference lies in cultures, experiences and actions, in terms of how one utilises that time. The three major phases that come along the journey of life which is common for all individuals irrespective of their background or hardships are;  Childhood:- The shine of innocence with rays of joy! The most carefree time of life it's said. Teenage/Adolescence:- Transitional stage of physical and psychological development. This is the phase when all the youngbloods are ready to prove their identity because they have to surv...

Beginnings always hide themselves in ends!

      The title of this blog is directly taken from a song...(I'm not too good with quotes :p) So the song is called 'Move on' written by Mike Posner, most of you might know him as the man who wrote 'I took a pill in Ibiza' both the songs are too beautiful to listen to, however, the song's not what this blog is about! I heard this song back in grade 10 but it was only recently when this line moved me.  After a whole rollercoaster ride of grade 11 and 12, preparing for entrance exams, putting in all the hard work, and sacrifices; I finally, was fortunate enough to get to that glamoured new beginning labelled "College-Life!" of which I only heard stories over family meals, long car rides or just simply when I met my elder cousins during their visits back home. I consider myself really fortunate to be able to successfully fight through the serious competitive culture and the pressure during these 2 years. When I look back now, it all makes sense to me. I ...

The Pursuit Of Happyness!

  The Pursuit Of Happyness! Well I'm not completely talking about the 2006-Gabriele Muccino film starring Will Smith; even though it was a master piece and hands down one of my favorite film of all time! Let's talk a little about happiness-and the pursuit of it;  What is happiness? As  cliché  as it may seem, I actually gave it a strong thought of what exactly is happiness? Well, it's all relative and subjective to a lot of things but I'll be sharing what it is, to me... There is a very wholesome article in the "Greater Good Magazine" by the UC Berkeley which has stated some mind-striking phrases that gave me a lot of inspiration to write about this particular topic in the very first place! To quote them, happiness is a "Subjective well-being"; just this phrase, so simply explains and shortens such a vast topic down so comfortably making so much sense! Ain't it?    However, if only life would have been so simple(subjective again though!), seeing ...

The Great Realization!

Have you ever thought about the number of ways things can be interpreted? Or maybe the number of methods there could exist, to get to a goal? Well, as the title says, the text you will read further, might not even be as great of a realization for so many people here!  To begin, let's give you an interesting "Did you know?" I read on the internet.. Did you know how many ways are there to solve a Rubik's cube? well grab a seat before I reveal it! "There are 43 quintillion ways of solving a Rubik's cube" says a computer scientist, Tom Rokicki. I mean we have all done permutations and combinations, but it's crazy to think of, because it's more than the amount of grains of sand present in all of Earth's beaches! (source-www.wired.com) Before linking it to my "Great Realization" I would like to give you a little glimpse of my background which'll better explain my foreground and will give you'll context! So I consider myself really...
