Machine learning terms you must know about as a beginner.

🧵👇

These terms won't mean anything unless you know what Machine learning is all about.

> Machine learning is the process of making a program which allows a computer to learn from data.

The data could be anything, images, audio or even text.

(2 / 11)

In machine learning we use something called a neural network, this is essentially an imitation of the human brain.

> Neural Networks are a digital imitation of the neurons you see in the human brain.

(3 / 11)

In these neural networks, data flows through them and each neuron (the circle) has a numerical value which will change.

> The value of a neuron gets changes to something which is close to what we want each time the data passes through the neural network.

(4 / 11)

Think of the neurons as dials on a lock, you have to tune every dial to open the lock.

It is almost impossible for a human to tune thousands of dials like these, but a computer certainly can.

(5 / 11)

Once the dials are well tuned, you have a well trained neural network!

Each dial's numeric value is dependent on a "weight" and a "bias". The weight determines how important the neuron is and the bias make it flexible.

(6 / 11)

So here's a recap of what we've looked at so far:

The neural net is the brain of the machine learning model, the dials you have to adjust to make that neural net work are the neurons.

(7 / 11)

Each time data passes through the neural network, we get to know how wrong it is. The measure of how wrong a neural network is called the "loss". The neural network uses this thing called an "optmizer" to reduce "loss" and tries to get less wrong after each iteration.

(8 / 11)

The number of times the data passes through the neural net is called the "epoch".

Let's summarize the entire thing👇

(9 / 11)

Neural Network: The brain of our machine learning model
Neuron : Each dial in a neural network
Weight : How important the neuron is
Bias : Flexibility of neuron

(10 / 11)

Epoch : Number of times the data passes through the neural network
Loss : How wrong the neural net is
Optimizer : Tries to reduce loss and make the neural net less wrong

Congrats! You know a fair bit about commonly used machine learning terms 😉

Here's how I got started with my first machine learning project and you can too.
Let's take a look.

(This thread will take from zero to being a hero in machine learning, trust me)

(1 / 22)
🧵👇

Getting started with your first machine learning project might actually much easier than it seems, if I can do it, certainly anyone can.

I did not use:
- Any Math
- An expensive computer
- Complex programming concepts

(2 / 22)

Here's what I did use:

- A free GPU on Google Colab
- Python
- TensorFlow
- Numpy
- Pandas
- Kaggle
- Scikit-Learn
- Google
- StackOverFlow

(3 / 22)

This project was actually a Kaggle challenge based on the MNIST dataset which is a collection images of 70,000 hand written digits.

You can find the dataset here👇

Here's our problem,we are given data in which we are given the number of flats in a house and its corresponding price. Like a house with one flat is worth 10000, and 20000 for a house with 2 flats.

(3 / 15)

We can clearly tell that the price of the house increases by 10000 per extra flat however our computer does not know this and we won't it tell it about this, it'll have to figure things out on its own.

There are several skills needed for learning machine learning that no one talks about.

Here are some of them.
(from what I've learned over the past two years)
🧵👇

This thread aims to introduce to you some of the skills often ignored for learning machine learning but are actually very important.

These skills will enable you to learn concepts quickly and more efficiently in this field.

(2 / 9)

1⃣ Reading

Probably one of the most underrated skills on this list.

In machine learning, you HAVE to read a lot of articles, papers, documentation, and whatnot.

It is mostly due to the theoretical nature of this field that reading is an important skill to have.

(3 / 9)

2⃣ Strong fundamentals in programming

Machine learning is just a lot of programming mixed with math and data.

Having clear programming fundamentals is crucial for this field.

I highly suggest you learn about these if you are using Python for machine learning.👇

(4 / 9)

- Object oriented programming in Python :Classes, Objects, Methods
- Lists & List functions
- Dunder Methods
- List comprehension
- List slicing
- String formatting
- List, Dictionaries & Tuples
- *args,**kwargs

"Machine learning is not what you think it is"

One of the main reasons why people find it difficult to get started with machine learning is because of the lack of information, and rightfully so.

(3 / 14)

Machine learning as a concept has existed since the 1950s, but has only become popular in recent years because of the exponential rise of advancements in computer hardware.

(4 / 14)

In short, it because of the sudden rise of this technology ,which was previously unknown to the general public, that there is a lot of misinformation around it.

Everyone tells you how important math is in machine learning.

But I believe that if you want to learn machine learning today, there are things more important than math which very few people will tell you about.

Here are 5 of them.

🧵 👇🏻

The field of machine learning has been very academic which is why there is so much emphasis on learning math for it.

But, today with the frameworks that we have, not knowing how to multiply matrices is far less of an issue than knowing how to use the tools in this list 👇🏻

Yes, I know; you have R, Julia, and whatnot for machine learning but as of today, Python is the industry standard.

Get your data structures and algorithms right in Python because you will need them, here are some concepts worth learning 👇🏻

Let's say you're building the next big GPT-3 powered app that's going to take over the world.

You add a new feature to your app but it breaks the entire thing, what do you do now?

Learn Git, the ultimate version control tool.

I use this cheat sheet for all my git needs 👇🏻

You will be constantly be working on multiple packages which specific python version requirements 🐍

Virtual environments like Anaconda or Poetry will make this process much easier for you.

Who likes to see broken dependencies while running code?

Can you get a job in data science and machine learning without a college degree?

🧵👇

Short Answer: Yes.

Long Answer, keep reading 👇

(Advice from industry experts who I talked to.)

Companies are looking for people who add value.
In order to add value, you'll need skills. Simple as that.

Get the skills to provide value and you'll get the job.

In the age of the internet where everything is pretty much free, why do college degrees matter?

A college degree makes it easier to get the skills to get a job in machine learning or data science.

College degrees also help you make many useful connections and provides many opportunities in the form of internships and whatnot.

College degrees have their own place

With hard work and determination, anyone can learn to code.

Here’s a list of my favorites resources if you’re learning to code in 2021.

👇

1. freeCodeCamp.

I’d suggest picking one of the projects in the curriculum to tackle and then completing the lessons on syntax when you get stuck. This way you know *why* you’re learning what you’re learning, and you're building things

2. https://t.co/7XC50GlIaa is a hidden gem. Things I love about it:

1) You can see the most upvoted solutions so you can read really good code

2) You can ask questions in the discussion section if you're stuck, and people often answer. Free

3. https://t.co/V9gcXqqLN6 and https://t.co/KbEYGL21iE

On stackoverflow you can find answers to almost every problem you encounter. On GitHub you can read so much great code. You can build so much just from using these two resources and a blank text editor.

4. https://t.co/xX2J00fSrT @eggheadio specifically for frontend dev.

Their tutorials are designed to maximize your time, so you never feel overwhelmed by a 14-hour course. Also, the amount of prep they put into making great courses is unlike any other online course I've seen.

1/ @werat asked about whether the debugger was using the C# compiler or language service in VS 2002. It was not. The debugger has a component called an ‘expression evaluator’ that is provided per language and is responsible for parsing and evaluating expressions when stopped at a

I've applied for a total of 10 development jobs in my life:

- 7 lead to interviews
- Of those 7, 4 was a good fit for me
- Of those 4, 3 offered me the job
- In all 3 cases, I negotiated a better deal

🧵 on what worked for me and what YOU can do to get similar results 👇

1. Apply for the RIGHT jobs. Look for midsize to large companies, not necessarily tech related. These tend to get way fewer applications than traditional tech companies, so it's easier to get your foot in the door - and they also tend to be great environments for learning.

2. Spend time on your application. Make sure your resumé and written application is tailored to the exact position. Recruiters or hiring managers can smell a copy/pasted resumé from miles away. Use as many words from the job spec in your application as possible.

3. Have a portfolio. Show off your skills and some personality on your website. This is a nobrainer for front-end devs, but it's true for other areas too. It's a great way to stand out over other candidates by actually *showing* the value you can create and your experience.

4. Establish personal contact. Send a quick message or make a phone call before applying. Just introduce yourself to the person in charge of hiring and ask a simple question. It's the best way I find to make them remember your application when you submit it.

THREAD: 12 Things Everyone Should Know About IQ

1. IQ is one of the most heritable psychological traits – that is, individual differences in IQ are strongly associated with individual differences in genes (at least in fairly typical modern environments). https://t.co/3XxzW9bxLE

2. The heritability of IQ *increases* from childhood to adulthood. Meanwhile, the effect of the shared environment largely fades away. In other words, when it comes to IQ, nature becomes more important as we get older, nurture less. https://t.co/UqtS1lpw3n

3. IQ scores have been increasing for the last century or so, a phenomenon known as the Flynn effect. https://t.co/sCZvCst3hw (N ≈ 4 million)

(Note that the Flynn effect shows that IQ isn't 100% genetic; it doesn't show that it's 100% environmental.)

4. IQ predicts many important real world outcomes.

For example, though far from perfect, IQ is the single-best predictor of job performance we have – much better than Emotional Intelligence, the Big Five, Grit, etc. https://t.co/rKUgKDAAVx https://t.co/DWbVI8QSU3

5. Higher IQ is associated with a lower risk of death from most causes, including cardiovascular disease, respiratory disease, most forms of cancer, homicide, suicide, and accident. https://t.co/PJjGNyeQRA (N = 728,160)

If u are looking to enter a scrip just before the breakout
what would u look for?
How would u identify scrips just before breakout?

Here are a few pointers
Carefully understand the them and use at ur own discretion
(All comments r compiled from a question i posed)

1/23

Price is testing the same resistance repeatedly since long.
But now in recent times it's forming multiple candles near the same resistance with low volume.
Observe it and see for opposite move.
As soon as u get a positive candle, get in to it.

2/23

1. Volume buildup (vol > when resistance point created) along with, increase in OI, increase in delivery % on HTF
2. On LTF, price stalling around breakout area for at least 1-2hr.
3. No major events.

3/23

Stock reaching breakout LVL with HL-HH
Contraction of price and volume near it especially near 20 days ma.
If there is any breach of the latest HL it should be followed by a bullish candle with good volume.
Left side of the chart has a rally with a very steep slope of ma.

4/23

Number of wide range green bars with high volumes.
If stock is at its ATH then it adds more conviction bcz there wont b supply after that point

Consolidation below the resistance, volume of the candles & strong bullish candle closing at near highs just below the resistance

5/23

MAHARAANI TARARANI: THE QUEEN OF MARATHAS

Rani Tarabai was the brave daughter-in-law of Chhatrapati Shivaji and one of the greatest medieval Monarchs India ever had.
She was born in 1675 to one of the bravest commander-in-chiefs of Shivaji's Army named Hambir Rao Mohite.

Tarabai was just 8yrs old when she was married to Shivaji's younger son, Rajaram. Mughals and Marathas were constantly at war with each other. Shivaji was crowned the ruler of the Independent Maratha Swarajya in 1674 which was established by him.

However,the great leader died in 1680&the Maratha Samrajya went into a complete&total chaos.Marathas saw some very tough times ahead. In 1689,when Raigad Fort fell to the Mughal Army of over 15000,Shivaji's first wife Saibai and his elder son Sambhaji were captured&put to death.

Sambhaji's wife and son Shahu were taken prisoners to the Mughal court. During the same battle, Shivaji's second son Rajaram(Tarabai's husband) , who was the heir to the throne now, managed to escape using a disguise. He made his way to the Gingee Fort in Tamil Nadu.

Mughal General Zulfikar Khan, however, followed them to Gingee laying siege to the Gingee Fort. From 1690-1698,This was the longest siege by a Mughal Army of any Fort which stands testimony to the military and diplomatic credentials of Rani Tarabai.

कुंडली में 12 भाव होते हैं। कैसे ज्योतिष द्वारा रोग के आंकलन करते समय कुंडली के विभिन्न भावों से गणना करते हैं आज इस पर चर्चा करेंगे।
कुण्डली को कालपुरुष की संज्ञा देकर इसमें शरीर के अंगों को स्थापित कर उनसे रोग, रोगेश, रोग को बढ़ाने घटाने वाले ग्रह

रोग की स्थिति में उत्प्रेरक का कार्य करने वाले ग्रह, आयुर्वेदिक/ऐलोपैथी/होमियोपैथी में से कौन कारगर होगा इसका आँकलन, रक्त विकार, रक्त और आपरेशन की स्थिति, कौन सा आंतरिक या बाहरी अंग प्रभावित होगा इत्यादि गणना करने में कुंडली का प्रयोग किया जाता है।

मेडिकल ज्योतिष में आज के समय में Dr. K. S. Charak का नाम निर्विवाद रूप से प्रथम स्थान रखता है। उनकी लिखी कई पुस्तकें आज इस क्षेत्र में नए ज्योतिषों का मार्गदर्शन कर रही हैं।
प्रथम भाव -
इस भाव से हम व्यक्ति की रोगप्रतिरोधक क्षमता, सिर, मष्तिस्क का विचार करते हैं।

द्वितीय भाव-
दाहिना नेत्र, मुख, वाणी, नाक, गर्दन व गले के ऊपरी भाग का विचार होता है।
तृतीय भाव-
अस्थि, गला,कान, हाथ, कंधे व छाती के आंतरिक अंगों का शुरुआती भाग इत्यादि।

चतुर्थ भाव- छाती व इसके आंतरिक अंग, जातक की मानसिक स्थिति/प्रकृति, स्तन आदि की गणना की जाती है

पंचम भाव-
जातक की बुद्धि व उसकी तीव्रता,पीठ, पसलियां,पेट, हृदय की स्थिति आंकलन में प्रयोग होता है।

षष्ठ भाव-
रोग भाव कहा जाता है। कुंडली मे इसके तत्कालिक भाव स्वामी, कालपुरुष कुंडली के स्वामी, दृष्टि संबंध, रोगेश की स्थिति, रोगेश के नक्षत्र औऱ रोगेश व भाव की डिग्री इत्यादि।

THE IMPORTANCE OF DEVI BEEJ / BIJA MANTRA.

Once Suutji in his discourse with King Janmajeya repeated the words of Vyasji regarding the pronounciation of the word ऐ. Vyasji had heard the importance of this word in a meeting of all important saints at Naimisharanya.

There this story was discussed.

In that gathering of such great sages, Rishi Jamdagni asked a question to all the eminent luminaries. He wanted to know which diety is the most revered and gets satisfied easily with our prayers. So Lomash rishi replied that Devi

Bhagwati was one such diety. She will be satisfied and is ready to grant you a boon even if you just say the first letter of her beej mantra. In this context he narrated the story of Satyavrat. The story is as follows.

There lived a Brahmin named Devdutt in Kosal.

He was childless. He arranged for an elaborate yagya for a intelligent son to be born. He invited all the eminent rishi's to conduct this Yagya. Rishi Suhotra, Pael, Brahaspati Yagyavalka were assigned different tasks. Rishi Gobhil was asked to sing the Saamved.

He sang the verses very well, but he had to take respite in order to breathe between two verses. This angered devdutt. He spoke his thoughts to Gobhil rishi.

The rishi got very angry as devdutt did not realise the practicalities of singing. He cursed devdutt that
