Part 1: Calculus - The Hidden Backbone of Machine Learning
Part 1: Calculus - The …

In our quest to understand the mathematical architecture of machine learning, we hopped on to a new destination where the objective is to uncover the precise mechanics of how algorithms acquire knowledge. We will navigate through the framework of Calculus - mainly focussing on Differential Calculus, …

Part 2: Demystifying Derivatives Through ML Lens
Part 2: Demystifying …

In the first blog of this series we tried to connect the dot between Machine Learning ML and Calculus. We ended up with concepts such as learning objective, cost function as a measure of determining whether we have reached the objective and iteratively we calculate the loss as a metric of …

Part 3: Down the Hill - The Gradient Descent
Part 3: Down the Hill - …

For an AI algorithm the learning process is an iterative way of maximizing its understanding of the input and minimizing the gap between algorithm’s output and actual values. It appears to be riding on top of loss function and taking a gradual descent in each iteration. But how does the …
