Spectral clustering, a complex form of machine learning, transforms data into a reduced-dimension form and applies k-means clustering. Implementing spectral clustering from scratch in Python was a challenge, but the results were identical to the scikit-learn module, with the most difficult part being computing eigenvalues and eigenvectors of the normalized Laplacian matrix.
A neural network with one hidden layer using ReLU activation can represent any continuous nonlinear functions, making it a powerful function approximator. The network can approximate Continuous PieceWise Linear (CPWL) and Continuous Curve (CC) functions by adding new ReLU functions at transition points to increase or decrease the slope.
The rise of tools like AutoAI may diminish the importance of traditional machine learning skills, but a deep understanding of the underlying principles of ML will still be in demand. This article delves into the mathematical foundations of Recurrent Neural Networks (RNNs) and explores their use in capturing sequential patterns in time series data.
