What We Have Learned So Far … So far, we have learned that the Delta rule guarantees to converge to a model that fits our data the best! It just so happens that the best fit might be a terrible model but still it is the best that the Delta rule has been able to …
The Beauty that is the Delta Rule In general, there are 2 main ways to train an Artificial Neural Network (ANN). In our previous post , I have told you about the popular perceptron rule that has been around for a long time. We also said that the perceptron training rule is guaranteed to converge …
The Perceptron Training Rule It is important to learn the training process of huge neural networks. However, we need to simplify this by first understanding how a simple perceptron is trained, and how its weights are updated! Only then, will we be able to understand the dynamics of complicated and monstrous neural networks, such as …
A Quick Recap Hello everyone and welcome! In our previous post, we talked about the first algorithm that uses the “more-general-thank-or-equal-to” operation to smooth out the search in the hypothesis space: Find-S Algorithm. As a reminder, below you can see the steps in this algorithm: Like all the other algorithms, and I mean it when …

A Quick Recap on our Last Post In our last post, we talked about the more-general-than-or-equal-to operation, which we denoted with ≥g and we said that in order for hypothesis hj to be considered more general than or equal to hypothesis hk, the following has to hold: Today, we will talk about a famous algorithm that can …

General-to-Specific Ordering of Hypotheses In the last post, we said that all concept learning problems share 1 thing in common regarding their structure, and it is the fact that we can order the hypotheses from the most specific one to the most general one. This will enable the machine learning algorithm to explore the hypothesis …

Introduction If we really wanted to simplify the whole story behind “Learning” in machine learning, we could say that a machine learning algorithm strives to learn a general function out of a given limited training examples. In general, we can think of concept learning as a search problem. The learner searches through a space of hypotheses …

What is an Algorithm? An algorithm describes the way to do something, step-by-step in the necessary order! As an observant reader would realize, this means that the person who comes up with an algorithm has to think of all the possible situations that could come up. If there is a possibility of failure, they should …
A Quick Recap on the Previous Post In our last post, we learned that concept learning is merely a search problem in the space of hypotheses, and we also learned that a hypothesis can be represented by a conjunction of constraints on the attributes of our data. Moreover, we concluded that if a data instance …
