Explain to Me: Why Train A Model Generatively and Discriminatively
Summary These are my thoughts on why we want to train a model generatively and discriminatively (or why we want to train a model using unsupervised fashion and then supervised fashion): We want to make...

View ArticleDo You Re-train on the Whole Dataset After Validating the Model?
Suppose we have a dataset split into 80% for training and 20% for validation, do you do A) or B? Method A) Train on 80% Validate on 20% Model is good, train on 100%. Predict test set. Method B) Train...

Did your rank just drop sharp in the private leaderboard in a Kaggle competition? I’ve been through that, too. We all learn about overfitting when we started machine learning, but Kaggle makes you...
View ArticleVisualizing the Differences In L1-norm and L2-norm Loss Function
In an earlier post about the differences between L1 and L2 as loss function and regularization, one of the graph about L1-norm and L2-norm loss function is rather confusing to many readers, as I have...
