Finding outliers two standard deviations above mean machine learning notes 001

Finding outliers two standard deviations above mean machine learning notes silicon vanity uniqtech. There many ways to find outliers. Sometimes domain knowledge is important. One way is to consider any number two standard deviation above or two standard deviation below the mean as outliers.


It's by no means the most robust, but in practice, it may prove to be handy and easy to implement.

Understanding Softmax Function 101



Softmax function is one of the most important output function used in Deep Learning, a hot popular branch of machine learning. Softmax turn a vector of numbers, called logits, into a probabilities that sum to one : 0.7+0.2+0.1 = 1. See the above image from Udacity's deep learning nanodegree. The formula takes each individual y value and take the special number e to the exponent of this y_i, also divide it by the sum of all e to the y_i exponents hence it sums to one!

First of all we have a vector of y_i, outputs of connected layers of neurons aka weights and features - dot product.

[1, 2, 3, 4]

sum_of_all_e_exp = e^1 + e^2 + e^3 + e^4
the first output is
p_0 =  e^1 / sum_of_all_e_exp

Udacity Digital Marketing Nanodegree preview

Udacity Digital Marketing Nanodegree offers real world marketing practice. You get a real budget and play with real world professional tools like MailChimp, Hubspot, Google AdWords, Facebook Ad,  ... There's no guarantee for jobs but that's a solid starting point for practicing and getting your hands dirty with all the marketing tools. What I like is that at the end of course, you will get a full portfolio to show. I was able to get to weekly top list and ultimately get to 150000 impressions. That's a solid experience despite the tiny real world budget! And I got some experience managing Udacity's account get a preview of the one million dollar account.
