What is Hierarchical Clustering? Hierarchical clustering is a method of cluster analysis that seeks to build a hierarchy of clusters. It is particularly useful for data that does not naturally fall into distinct groups. Unlike other clustering methods, hierarchical clustering does not require the nu...
What is a Transformer? Transformers are a class of neural network architectures introduced in the paper “Attention is All You Need” by Vaswani et al. in 2017. They have since become the backbone of many state-of-the-art models in natural language processing (NLP), such as BERT, GPT, and ...
What is Random Forest? Random Forest is an ensemble learning method primarily used for classification and regression tasks. It operates by constructing multiple decision trees during training and outputting the mode of the classes (classification) or mean prediction (regression) of the individual tr...
Understanding K-Nearest Neighbors (KNN) K-Nearest Neighbors is a supervised learning algorithm used for classification and regression tasks. It operates on the principle of similarity, where the classification of a data point is determined by the majority class of its ‘k’ nearest neighbo...
What is Naive Bayes? Naive Bayes is a family of probabilistic algorithms based on Bayes’ Theorem, which is used for classification tasks. The term “naive” refers to the assumption that the features in a dataset are independent of each other, which is rarely the case in real-world s...
