Machine Learning Concepts – Part 3 – Data Preprocessing

This entry is part 3 of 7 in the series Machine Learning Concepts

Previously, we gave an introduction to the necessary steps to deploy a machine learning model as well as started the discussion of problem definition and data collection. Now that we have a firm understanding of the problem our machine learning model is attempting to solve we need to perform a ...

Machine Learning Concepts – Part 5 – Model Selection

This entry is part 5 of 7 in the series Machine Learning Concepts

So far in our ML Concepts series we’ve defined out problem and goal, we’ve identified, gathered and preprocessed the necessary data, and we’ve developed an understanding of our data through exploratory data analysis. Today’s article will introduce selecting the best model(s) for our data depending on various data characteristics. When ...

Machine Learning Concepts – Part 6 – Model Training

This entry is part 6 of 7 in the series Machine Learning Concepts

In part 6 of our Machine Learning Concepts series we are going to discuss model training. Up until now we’ve identified the goal of our machine learning model, have pre-processed our data into a standard format, identified the features of interest in our data, and selected the necessary models that ...

Machine Learning Concepts – Part 7 – Hyperparameter Tuning

This entry is part 7 of 7 in the series Machine Learning Concepts

In Machine Learning Concepts – Part 6 – Model Training we briefly glossed over hyperparameters in large language models. In this article we will continue to explore hyperparameters in large language models including what they are, how they are used, and finally look at common techniques for hyperparameter tuning Hyperparameters ...
