- yuribit 12y agoGreat introduction to ML algorithms. I would also like to recommend the Coursera course taught by Andrew Ng for a practical starting up in this powerful field.
- sieisteinmodel 12y agoThe problem is that this guy has no clue. - A naive Bayes classifier is not a Bayesian method. It's just using Bayes rule, while Bayesian methods marginalize out the parameters. - Regression and classification are different things. And, ironically, logistic regression is a classifier. - Neither Linear Discriminant Analysis nor radial basis functions are kernel methods. - EM is not a clustering method, it is an optimization algorithm for probabilistic models of a specific structure. - Learning vector quantization is not a neural net. - ...
