Introduction:
In recent years, I’ve witnessed the incredible journey of Machine Learning 🚀. From Chat-GPT to the revolutionary DALL.E 2, it’s reshaped our world, solving complex problems with precision.
This blog isn’t about sales pitches; it’s about sharing insights that matter.
From the most fundamental to the latest cutting-edge algorithms, this blog post will provide you with an overview of machine learning algorithms you must keep an eye on in 2023. Let’s begin with the blog without further ado.
- Generative Adversarial Networks (GAN)
Generative Adversarial Networks have taken everyone by surprise with their ability to generate new content and create music and even art that compete with human creators. Many creators use it to generate creative ideas and take their art to the next level. A popular application of GAN that has been taking the internet by storm for the past year is Chat-GPT. This latest cutting-edge algorithm will be at the forefront of innovation in the future. - Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN)
This deep learning algorithm can see and interpret the world around us. It is modeled the same way the human brain processes visual information. They can identify textures, faces, patterns, etc in images with remarkable accuracy and speed. This makes them essential in the fields of image recognition, computer vision, and robotics. In the event that you have an interest in the creation of self-driving cars, this tool is an absolute necessity. - Recurrent Neural Networks (RNN)
Ever wondered how chatbots can converse with you like a human? Well, RNNs make it possible. This deep-learning algorithm has the ability to predict the next word you are going to type, correct grammatical errors, and even generate entirely new text or music, which makes them an essential tool for Natural Language Processing (NLP), Time Series Forecasting, Music Generation and Image Captioning. - Autoencoders
Autoencoders can also be called “Artificial Data Scientists” as they can extract the most relevant features from raw data without humans. They have become an irreplaceable part of unsupervised learning. It can compress and decompress data, provide a meaningful representation of the original data, and identify patterns and insights from large and complex datasets. They are now extensively used in data compression and anomaly detection. - Decision Trees
This algorithm is considered one of the most simple yet fundamental algorithms in Machine Learning. It works on the principle of “Divide and conquer”. It breaks complex problems down into smaller and more manageable problems. These are used to classify data and take decisions. Since they are interpretable, they can also provide reasons for their decisions. It forms the basis of other famous models like Random Forest, which takes us to the next algorithm on the list. - Random Forest
“Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much.” A quote by Helen Keller provides the most accurate and beautiful description of Random Forest. By leveraging the power of multiple decision trees, the Random Forest model provides better results than a lone decision tree. These are used in a variety of applications such as predicting customer churn, fraud detection, disease detection, etc. - K-Means Clustering
The most fundamental and simple algorithm in unsupervised learning is yet very powerful. This algorithm groups the data points on the basis of their similarities which makes it very useful in tasks like market segmentation, customer profiling, etc. It can provide us with useful insights and help us make informed decisions. - Support Vector Machines (SVM)
A supervised machine learning algorithm created by Hava Siegelmann and Vladimir Vapnik. It is well known for its ability to handle high-dimensional datasets and provide results with remarkable accuracy and speed. It is commonly used in computational biology, spam email detection, handwriting recognition, gene categorization, etc. The most critical step in applying the SVM algorithm to your dataset is finding the best kernel. Finding the right kernel can give you the most accurate predictions. - Principal Component Analysis (PCA)
It is a very significant and well-known algorithm in data analytics. It is a dimensionality reduction technique that helps us eliminate non-essential features in the dataset and focus on the relevant ones. By reducing the number of variables, you not only reduce the time and complexity of running an algorithm on the dataset but also increase model performance. - Logistic Regression
Last but not least, we have Logistic Regression. This is a simple and fundamental yet versatile algorithm. What makes it powerful is its ability to model complex relationships between variables having linear or non-linear relationships. It is mostly used in binary classification problems such as disease prediction, Intrusion detection, etc. It is also a highly interpretable model i.e. it can explain the underlying factors which affected the decision. I have covered it in detail here.
