While it definitely works better than most of the open-domain dialog system , we wanted to test if it can be fine-tuned for some complex…

Question answering on unstructured data is considered a task, worthy of evaluating even a human learning a new language, and expected to be tough for AI systems to do so, with high precision. …

We are indeed living in interesting times, where we celebrate human-built machines defeating the best human minds at variety of activities. IBM Deep Blue’s win against Chess champion Gary kasparov in 1997, IBM watson acing Jeopardy in 2011 and now Google DeepMind reportedly wining ‘Go’ with high precision, being cited…

Earlier it was Random forest , the go-to algorithm for classification problems in most of the data science competitions. Correctly formulated problem , with smart feature engineering and minimal tuning of the RF algorithm ( ntree, mtry) using grid search could get you past the bulk of the crowd . …

Researchers state that the neurological activities in the brain (nucleus accumbens, responds strongly to rewards) of a gift recipient about to open the gift box is just as high as the subject who is about to scratch the lottery coupon! Within split-seconds of opening the box, the recipient would either…

It’s a known fact that bagging (an ensemble technique) works well on unstable algorithms like decision trees, artificial neural networks and not on stable algorithms like Naive Bayes. The well known ensemble algorithm Random forest thrives on the ability of bagging technique which leverages the ‘instability’ of decisions trees, to…

What starts with a vague ‘Idea’, metamorphoses into a product with the potential of bringing positive disruptive changes in lives of millions.How does somebody come up with such a groundbreaking concept?
