Newsletter November Part 2

Exclusive right has been retained to repost this on the internet. Uniqtech only posts on uniqtech.medium.com, ml.learn-to-code.co, and here occasionally. All other posts are not authorized, may contain malicious links. In this special edition, we will talk about both machine learning (our usual data) as well as web3 - the next evolution of web. In the next newsletter, in early December, we will also analyze the job postings of a few web3 and blockchain companies such as NFT marketplace OpenSea. Our staff recently attended their recruiting event. Blockchain curriculum and flash cards are available for pro members at NO additional charge. It's included in your $5 / month membership! Yay. 


Blockchain and web3 seem to be the future, though Elon Musk surely disagrees (he tweeted today), though he seems to support Dogecoin. Art Basel, a premium fine art, NFT art, and blockchain art fair is happening today in Miami, the city of crypto.


Because blockchain is a public, distributed database, we data people, machine learning practitioners won't be in foreign territory. What we know have a lot of synergy! If you know web development, even better. 


A reminder : you can log into the website with either gmail or github! 😸 The technology is Google Firebase Authentication. cheers

In the past, we discussed the preprocessing, vector representation aspect of deep learning models. Data cleaning and processing should take up to 80% of machine learning practitioners' time, but today we need to address the elephant in the room : deep learning training. This is both the art and math of AI. In the machine learning section, we will discuss training loops.

BLOCKCHAIN

Did you know the hottest crypto and NFT trends are based on the blockchain technology, a public ledger system which is also a database! And that's why our paid substack subscribers / website members will get free blockchain learning materials. We publish tutorials great for the Data Science Bootcamp (publication).

Kaggle (data science competition site, a part of google) is hosting a crypto forecasting competition right now. Check it out and learn - https://www.kaggle.com/c/g-research-crypto-forecasting Talking about Google, Google also hosts digital skills workshops and some of those are free - educating the employees of tomorrow's job market! http://g.co/AppliedDigitalSkills Talking about free education, pro members, check the previous newsletter on substack for free premium coursera based training (easter eggs).


This week the majority of our engineering time is spent on chainlink hackathon. The sponsors are impressive : polygon, avalanche, moralis, alchemy.io - huge names in blockchain tech. We also noticed that blockchain gives almost 10x higher prize pool than conventional hackathons. 


We may generate NFTs for our subscribers. Any coding NFTs you would like ? Message us with your ideas hi@uniqtech.co


How to prepare for hackathons and competitions? We have lots of tips for you. Our staff has won Facebook HQ Pytorch deep learning, Udacity Angular JavaScript hackathons.

MACHINE LEARNING + DEEP LEARNING

This newsletter's machine learning section is dense!  Don't worry, we will resurface these flash cards and incorporate them into lessons, so we can slowly memorize these flash cards through repetition.

This newsletter's mega topic


TRAINING LOOP


Today's main focus in Machine Learning training is : training loop and gradient

What is training? Training is the learning part of "machine learning". In iterative processes, your models compare predictions (y_hat) with ground truth (y) in supervised learning. Then it will compute a heuristic of distance, which represents how good or far off is the prediction, also represents how distant is the prediction from the ground truth. Your models' goal is to minimize the distance using math and algorithms tricks, educated guess, even randomization. 


Depends on the metrics chosen, the distance result in very different numbers. There are strengths and weaknesses of each distance function, making each of them suitable for different tasks. There's no one magical distance function. An example of distance function in regression is euclidean distance. An example of distance function in classification is multi-class cross-entropy. In some scenarios, when comparing two vectors, their dot product can be used as the distance function. The choice of distance function takes trial and error. And can be an art. 


Check out the machine learning flash card landing page for more information on training APIs how the .fit function in scikit-learn different from pytorch custom loop.

https://ml.learn-to-code.co/topic_end_to_end_machine_learning_course_flash_cards.html#training_uniqtech_guide


Because of the interdisciplinary nature of machine learning (a perfect partnership of math, statistics, computer science, probabilities, even biology, neuroscience and more), there are often different versions and names for the same terminology. It's confusing for beginners, even experts. Other names for distance function are similarity measures, loss function, cost function. 


We won't be able to explain and teach the training loop in one newsletter. We will need to create a series of youtube videos for our subscribers. But we want to show you the codes, line by line, and what's the purpose of each line. How does pytorch training loop differs from Tensorflow? 


On the machine learning flash card landing page, we explained tensorflow and scikit-learn has a high level API .fit() To train a model you just have to call the fit API on X(input) and y(output) in supervised learning. The pytorch custom training loop is a bit more involved. Just a few more lines of code. You can also write custom loops in Tensorflow. In this newsletter we just want to link to the source code. Don't worry about understand every little detail. We will want to record videos that explain these algorithms line-by-line. But if you take a close look, the training loop is under 50 lines of code. That's pretty manageable! Don't be intimated. If we learn one section a day, we will be done in a week. 


Pro members check out the pytorch custom training loop, annotated here, in this flash card.

"sklearn (scikitlearn) and keras just call .fit() to train. The format is model.fit(X_train, y_train). In Pytorch you will have to do a bit DIY your own custom training loop."


Tensorflow also supports custom training loop [pro, tensorflow, training, ]

INTERVIEWs


More contents regarding interview coming in the next newsletter. We will be analyzing web3 blockchain job posts such as from work-for-startup expo at Y Combinator and NFT market place open sea. As you know we are huge fans of hackathons! Recently we participated in Chainlink smart contract hackathons. We have a lot of tips to offer. The prizes in blockchain hackathons are insane they are 10x higher than what traditional hackathons offer. It's truly a blockchain renaissance. We will offer more information in the next newsletter.
