Deep Learning Illustrated, Part 2: How Does a Neural Network Learn? | by Shreya Rao | Feb, 2024

[ad_1] An illustrated and intuitive guide on how Neural Networks learn Welcome to Part 2 of the Deep Learning Illustrated series. In the previous article (definitely read that first!), we covered how a neural network works and how a trained neural network makes predictions. In this article, we’ll delve into the training process and explore…

Encoding Categorical Variables: A Deep Dive into Target Encoding | by Juan Jose Munoz | Feb, 2024

[ad_1] Data comes in different shapes and forms. One of those shapes and forms is known as categorical data. This poses a problem because most Machine Learning algorithms use only numerical data as input. However, categorical data is usually not a challenge to deal with, thanks to simple, well-defined functions that transform them into numerical…
