When you come across words quite often without knowing or realizing their real context or looking up for meanings just to find them even more complex, trust me I can imagine the plight! This page is all about familiarizing with the trending words that form crucial part of each technology or mechanism we come across. Feel free to visit this page as often as you can to get a simplified version of Buzz words.
- Activations: These are basically ingredients that help a neural network perform complex task. What good is a network that only performs linear and simple operations? With activation function a neural network is made capable to perform non- linear operations. It helps in non- linear transformation by turning on or off a particular neuron of a given neural network.
- Sample: A sample is a row of a given dataset. If a dataset includes information about books in a library and the attributes for each book includes Book ID, Name, Author, Year of publication, genre and so on, then a sample is one row bearing information about a single book based on aforementioned attributes.
- Batch: A set of one or more samples is called as batch. A batch is a sub set of an Epoch.
- Epoch: It is a set of one or more batches. Epoch is used iteratively in model based on stochastic gradient in order iteratively train a model in minimizing an error or maximizing refining.
- OneHotEncoder: Machine understands data in terms of numbers and for machine learning to further act on the data provided to it, there needs to be preprocessing. One such pre-processing step is One-hot encoding through which categorical data input is transformed into numerical information.
