The document discusses imputing missing data in machine learning models. It explains that some machine learning algorithms have issues handling missing values, so filling in missing data can improve results. Common imputation methods like mean, median or frequent imputation replace missing values with aggregate statistics rather than discarding samples containing any missing values. While imputing may improve predictions, cross-validation is recommended to verify the effects. In some cases, dropping rows or using marker values for missing data can work better than imputation. The document provides an example Python code recipe using scikit-learn to impute missing values in a dataset with the mean value.

Used a 40GB dataset made available by Avito via Kaggle to demonstrate how to handle big data for machine learning using limited memory. Instead of taking the incremental learning route to train a classifier, we used an intelligent technique to create a representative sample of the dataset.
Since ad clicks are very rare events, naively sampling the data would have lead to significantly biased predictions. This sampling bias was addressed by assigning an importance weight to each data example selected.
The resulting dataset could easily fit into memory and so was then trained using logistic regression.

Review : How useful is self-supervised pretraining for Visual tasks?
- by Seunghyun Hwang (Yonsei University, Severance Hospital, Center for Clinical Data Science)
This document discusses personalized search and re-ranking search results based on a user's profile and past behavior. It describes extracting features from query logs covering 27 days of search data to train a classifier. Features include documents clicked and time spent by both the same and different users for a given query. The model is trained using LambdaMART ranking algorithm on 24 days of data and validated on 3 days. It then re-ranks the top 10 search results for test queries based on the extracted features to provide a personalized search ranking. Evaluation on a test platform showed an NDCG score higher than the baseline, indicating more relevant results.

Build Deep Learning model to identify santader bank's dissatisfied customerssriram30691
This document summarizes a presentation given by Duy Tran, Indranil Dey, Sriram RV, Sushir Simkhada, and Dane Arnesen on their work for the Santander Bank customer satisfaction challenge. They tested several machine learning algorithms including random forest (Python), support vector machine (Matlab), gradient tree boosting (R), and neural network (Spark with H2O). Their goal was to identify dissatisfied customers. Through data preprocessing, model tuning, and comparing results, they found that gradient tree boosting performed best at predicting customer satisfaction. They concluded that combining multiple techniques helps identify key factors related to customer satisfaction.
Apache Spark Based Hyper-Parameter Selection and Adaptive Model Tuning for De...Databricks
This document summarizes an approach for joint optimization of AutoML and transfer learning. It discusses challenges with using AutoML for transfer learning due to limitations on the search space from pretrained models and inability to reuse models across datasets. The proposed approach uses AutoML to search for neural network architectures and hyperparameters based on pretrained models. It then fine-tunes the selected models on target datasets, achieving better accuracy and stability than traditional fine-tuning or standalone AutoML. Experimental results on image classification tasks demonstrate the advantages of the joint optimization approach.
Random forest is an ensemble machine learning algorithm that combines multiple decision trees to improve predictive accuracy. It works by constructing many decision trees during training and outputting the class that is the mode of the classes of the individual trees. Random forest can be used for both classification and regression problems and provides high accuracy even with large datasets.
Initializing and Optimizing Machine Learning Models describes the use of hyperparameters, how to use multiple algorithms and models, and how to score and evaluate models.
The Power of Auto ML and How Does it WorkIvo Andreev
Automated ML is an approach to minimize the need of data science effort by enabling domain experts to build ML models without having deep knowledge of algorithms, mathematics or programming skills. The mechanism works by allowing end-users to simply provide data and the system automatically does the rest by determining approach to perform particular ML task. At first this may sound discouraging to those aiming to the “sexiest job of the 21st century” - the data scientists. However, Auto ML should be considered as democratization of ML, rather that automatic data science.
In this session we will talk about how Auto ML works, how is it implemented by Microsoft and how it could improve the productivity of even professional data scientists.
Experimental Design for Distributed Machine Learning with Myles BakerDatabricks
This document discusses experimental design for distributed machine learning models. It outlines common problems in machine learning modeling like selecting the best algorithm and evaluating a model's expected generalization error. It describes steps in a machine learning study like collecting data, building models, and designing experiments. The goal of experimentation is to understand how model factors affect outcomes and obtain statistically significant conclusions. Techniques discussed for analyzing distributed model outputs include precision-recall curves, confusion matrices, and hypothesis testing methods like the chi-squared test and McNemar's test. The document emphasizes that experimental design for distributed learning poses new challenges around data characteristics, computational complexity, and reproducing results across models.
Lecture 7 - Bias, Variance and Regularization, a lecture in subject module St...Maninda Edirisooriya
Bias and Variance are the deepest concepts in ML which drives the decision making of a ML project. Regularization is a solution for the high variance problem. This was one of the lectures of a full course I taught in University of Moratuwa, Sri Lanka on 2023 second half of the year.
This document provides an overview of parametric and non-parametric supervised machine learning. Parametric learning uses a fixed number of parameters and makes strong assumptions about the data, while non-parametric learning uses a flexible number of parameters that grows with more data, making fewer assumptions. Common examples of parametric models include linear regression and logistic regression, while non-parametric examples include K-nearest neighbors, decision trees, and neural networks. The document also briefly discusses calculating parameters using ordinary least mean square for parametric models and the limitations when data does not follow predefined assumptions.

A Framework for Scene Recognition Using Convolutional Neural Network as Featu...Tahmid Abtahi
This document presents a framework for scene recognition using convolutional neural networks (CNNs) as feature extractors and machine learning kernels as classifiers. The framework uses a VGG dataset containing 678 images across 3 categories (highway, open country, streets). CNNs perform feature extraction via convolution and max pooling operations to reduce dimensionality by 10x. The extracted features are then classified using perceptrons and support vector machines (SVMs) in a parallel implementation. Results show SVMs achieve higher accuracy than perceptrons and accuracy increases with more training data. Future work involves task-level parallelism, increasing data size and categories, and comparing CNN features to PCA.

Dimensionality Reduction in Machine LearningRomiRoy4
This document discusses dimensionality reduction techniques. Dimensionality reduction reduces the number of random variables under consideration to address issues like sparsity and less similarity between data points. It is accomplished through feature selection, which omits redundant/irrelevant features, or feature extraction, which maps features into a lower dimensional space. Dimensionality reduction provides advantages like less complexity, storage needs, computation time and improved model accuracy. Popular techniques include principal component analysis (PCA), which extracts new variables, and filtering methods. PCA involves standardizing data, computing correlations via the covariance matrix, and identifying principal components via eigenvectors and eigenvalues.
Random forest is an ensemble learning technique that builds multiple decision trees and merges their predictions to improve accuracy. It works by constructing many decision trees during training, then outputting the class that is the mode of the classes of the individual trees. Random forest can handle both classification and regression problems. It performs well even with large, complex datasets and prevents overfitting. Some key advantages are that it is accurate, efficient even with large datasets, and handles missing data well.
This document outlines several parallel algorithm models:
1) Data parallel models divide data among processes that perform similar operations to achieve parallelism. They have low overhead through overlapping computation and communication.
2) The task graph model expresses parallelism through a task graph and is suitable when there is a large amount of data but less computation.
3) The work pool model assigns tasks dynamically among processes to balance load. It is suitable when operations are large but data is small.
Mahout is an Apache project that provides scalable machine learning libraries for Java. It contains algorithms for classification, clustering, and recommendation engines that can operate on huge datasets using distributed computing. Some key algorithms in Mahout include Naive Bayes classification, k-means clustering, and item-based recommenders. Classification with Mahout involves training a model on labeled historical data, evaluating the model on test data, and then using the model to classify new unlabeled data at scale. Feature selection and representation are important for building an accurate classification model in Mahout.

Authoring a personal GPT for your research and practice: How we created the Q...Leonel Morgado
Thematic analysis in qualitative research is a time-consuming and systematic task, typically done using teams. Team members must ground their activities on common understandings of the major concepts underlying the thematic analysis, and define criteria for its development. However, conceptual misunderstandings, equivocations, and lack of adherence to criteria are challenges to the quality and speed of this process. Given the distributed and uncertain nature of this process, we wondered if the tasks in thematic analysis could be supported by readily available artificial intelligence chatbots. Our early efforts point to potential benefits: not just saving time in the coding process but better adherence to criteria and grounding, by increasing triangulation between humans and artificial intelligence. This tutorial will provide a description and demonstration of the process we followed, as two academic researchers, to develop a custom ChatGPT to assist with qualitative coding in the thematic data analysis process of immersive learning accounts in a survey of the academic literature: QUAL-E Immersive Learning Thematic Analysis Helper. In the hands-on time, participants will try out QUAL-E and develop their ideas for their own qualitative coding ChatGPT. Participants that have the paid ChatGPT Plus subscription can create a draft of their assistants. The organizers will provide course materials and slide deck that participants will be able to utilize to continue development of their custom GPT. The paid subscription to ChatGPT Plus is not required to participate in this workshop, just for trying out personal GPTs during it.

Describing and Interpreting an Immersive Learning Case with the Immersion Cub...Leonel Morgado
Current descriptions of immersive learning cases are often difficult or impossible to compare. This is due to a myriad of different options on what details to include, which aspects are relevant, and on the descriptive approaches employed. Also, these aspects often combine very specific details with more general guidelines or indicate intents and rationales without clarifying their implementation. In this paper we provide a method to describe immersive learning cases that is structured to enable comparisons, yet flexible enough to allow researchers and practitioners to decide which aspects to include. This method leverages a taxonomy that classifies educational aspects at three levels (uses, practices, and strategies) and then utilizes two frameworks, the Immersive Learning Brain and the Immersion Cube, to enable a structured description and interpretation of immersive learning cases. The method is then demonstrated on a published immersive learning case on training for wind turbine maintenance using virtual reality. Applying the method results in a structured artifact, the Immersive Learning Case Sheet, that tags the case with its proximal uses, practices, and strategies, and refines the free text case description to ensure that matching details are included. This contribution is thus a case description method in support of future comparative research of immersive learning cases. We then discuss how the resulting description and interpretation can be leveraged to change immersion learning cases, by enriching them (considering low-effort changes or additions) or innovating (exploring more challenging avenues of transformation). The method holds significant promise to support better-grounded research in immersive learning.

EWOCS-I: The catalog of X-ray sources in Westerlund 1 from the Extended Weste...Sérgio Sacani
Context. With a mass exceeding several 104 M⊙ and a rich and dense population of massive stars, supermassive young star clusters
represent the most massive star-forming environment that is dominated by the feedback from massive stars and gravitational interactions
among stars.
Aims. In this paper we present the Extended Westerlund 1 and 2 Open Clusters Survey (EWOCS) project, which aims to investigate
the influence of the starburst environment on the formation of stars and planets, and on the evolution of both low and high mass stars.
The primary targets of this project are Westerlund 1 and 2, the closest supermassive star clusters to the Sun.
Methods. The project is based primarily on recent observations conducted with the Chandra and JWST observatories. Specifically,
the Chandra survey of Westerlund 1 consists of 36 new ACIS-I observations, nearly co-pointed, for a total exposure time of 1 Msec.
Additionally, we included 8 archival Chandra/ACIS-S observations. This paper presents the resulting catalog of X-ray sources within
and around Westerlund 1. Sources were detected by combining various existing methods, and photon extraction and source validation
were carried out using the ACIS-Extract software.
Results. The EWOCS X-ray catalog comprises 5963 validated sources out of the 9420 initially provided to ACIS-Extract, reaching a
photon flux threshold of approximately 2 × 10−8 photons cm−2
s
−1
. The X-ray sources exhibit a highly concentrated spatial distribution,
with 1075 sources located within the central 1 arcmin. We have successfully detected X-ray emissions from 126 out of the 166 known
massive stars of the cluster, and we have collected over 71 000 photons from the magnetar CXO J164710.20-455217.

Use the loss function (absolute error) to
calculate error measure
Plot the error for each data point and
display the absolute error
7. Obstacles
Biggest one was limited memory –
expected to run for more time not cause
a memory error
Tuning to the right parameters
Optimal method to tackle missing values
Elimination of outliers as basic IQR
method eliminated most of the data
points.
Implementing loss function (Initially did it
wrong and got error of 96.7)
8. Results
Sampled 500,000 values and filled the
missing values
Mean absolute error averaging around 8.4
Very high, but considering we used only
1% of available data , it is acceptable
10. How to improve?!
Implement robust PCA. PCA is sensitive to
outliers/missing values
Use 10-20% of data for sampling
Set the params to increase variance for
closer predictions
Implement on computer with higher
memory, computing power & not on virtual
box (Result in good hyper-parameter tuning)
Work around numpy to handle large arrays
and avoidValue Errors.
