Linear regression and logistic regression are two machine learning algorithms that can be implemented in Python. Linear regression is used for predictive analysis to find relationships between variables, while logistic regression is used for classification with binary dependent variables. Support vector machines (SVMs) are another algorithm that finds the optimal hyperplane to separate data points and maximize the margin between the classes. Key terms discussed include cost functions, gradient descent, confusion matrices, and ROC curves. Code examples are provided to demonstrate implementing linear regression, logistic regression, and SVM in Python using scikit-learn.
This document discusses a project that uses machine learning algorithms to predict potential heart diseases.

It then clusters the SVM label predictions using SOM. Experiments on German and Australian credit datasets show the proposed model achieves higher accuracy than other classification methods, demonstrating potential for personal credit scoring and other classification problems.

Visual diagnostics for more effective machine learningBenjamin Bengfort
The model selection process is a search for the best combination of features, algorithm, and hyperparameters that maximize F1, R2, or silhouette scores after cross-validation. This view of machine learning often leads us toward automated processes such as grid searches and random walks. Although this approach allows us to try many combinations, we are often left wondering if we have actually succeeded.
By enhancing model selection with visual diagnostics, data scientists can inject human guidance to steer the search process. Visualizing feature transformations, algorithmic behavior, cross-validation methods, and model performance allows us a peek into the high dimensional realm that our models operate. As we continue to tune our models, trying to minimize both bias and variance, these glimpses allow us to be more strategic in our choices. The result is more effective modeling, speedier results, and greater understanding of underlying processes.
Visualization is an integral part of the data science workflow, but visual diagnostics are directly tied to machine learning transformers and models. The Yellowbrick library extends the scikit-learn API providing a Visualizer object, an estimator that learns from data and produces a visualization as a result. In this talk, we will explore feature visualizers, visualizers for classification, clustering, and regression, as well as model analysis visualizers. We'll work through several examples and show how visual diagnostics steer model selection, making machine learning more effective.

Parameter Optimisation for Automated Feature Point DetectionDario Panada
Parameter optimization for an automated feature point detection model was explored. Increasing the number of random displacements up to 20 improved performance but additional increases did not. Larger patch sizes consistently improved performance. Increasing the number of decision trees did not affect performance for this single-stage model, unlike previous findings for a two-stage model. Overall, some parameter tuning was found to enhance the model's accuracy but not all parameters significantly impacted results.

1) The document discusses methods for setting up similarity-driven virtual screening using various molecular similarity metrics and descriptor spaces.
2) It finds that traditional dogmas like only using Tanimoto similarity above 0.85 can be inaccurate, and recommends calibrating similarity cutoffs specifically for each target, query, and chemical space.
3) Tversky similarity with an alpha value of 0.7-0.9, which more heavily penalizes the query missing features of actives, is found to often give excellent results. The best approach is to test multiple options and calibrate for each individual virtual screening project.
Dimensionality Reduction and feature extraction.pptxSivam Chinna
Dimensionality reduction, or dimension reduction, is the transformation of data from a high-dimensional space into a low-dimensional space so that the low-dimensional representation retains some meaningful properties of the original data, ideally close to its intrinsic dimension.
This document describes a machine learning project that uses support vector machines (SVM) and k-nearest neighbors (k-NN) algorithms to segment gesture phases based on radial basis function (RBF) kernels and k-nearest neighbors. The project aims to classify frames of movement data into five gesture phases (rest, preparation, stroke, hold, retraction) using two classifiers. The SVM approach achieved 53.27% accuracy on test data while the k-NN approach achieved significantly higher accuracy of 92.53%. The document provides details on the dataset, feature extraction methods, model selection process and results of applying each classifier to the test data.
BPSO&1-NN algorithm-based variable selection for power system stability ident...IJAEMSJORNAL
Due to the very high nonlinearity of the power system, traditional analytical methods take a lot of time to solve, causing delay in decision-making. Therefore, quickly detecting power system instability helps the control system to make timely decisions become the key factor to ensure stable operation of the power system. Power system stability identification encounters large data set size problem. The need is to select representative variables as input variables for the identifier. This paper proposes to apply wrapper method to select variables. In which, Binary Particle Swarm Optimization (BPSO) algorithm combines with K-NN (K=1) identifier to search for good set of variables. It is named BPSO&1-NN. Test results on IEEE 39-bus diagram show that the proposed method achieves the goal of reducing variables with high accuracy.
This document discusses principal component analysis (PCA) and its applications in image processing and facial recognition. PCA is a technique used to reduce the dimensionality of data while retaining as much information as possible. It works by transforming a set of correlated variables into a set of linearly uncorrelated variables called principal components. The first principal component accounts for as much of the variability in the data as possible, and each succeeding component accounts for as much of the remaining variability as possible. The document provides an example of applying PCA to a set of facial images to reduce them to their principal components for analysis and recognition.
Presented at Data Day Texas 2020 and attempts to show the tradeoffs between bigger data, better math, and better data. Uses Fashion MNIST as the use case, and a progression of better math from Random Forest to Gradient Boosted Trees to Feedforward Neural Nets to Convolutional Neural Nets.

Finally, it discusses principal component analysis and different clustering algorithms like K-means clustering.
Cross validation is a technique for evaluating machine learning models by splitting the dataset into training and validation sets and training the model multiple times on different splits, to reduce variance. K-fold cross validation splits the data into k equally sized folds, where each fold is used once for validation while the remaining k-1 folds are used for training. Leave-one-out cross validation uses a single observation from the dataset as the validation set. Stratified k-fold cross validation ensures each fold has the same class proportions as the full dataset. Grid search evaluates all combinations of hyperparameters specified as a grid, while randomized search samples hyperparameters randomly within specified ranges. Learning curves show training and validation performance as a function of training set size and can diagnose underfitting
This document provides an overview of supervised machine learning algorithms for classification, including logistic regression, k-nearest neighbors (KNN), support vector machines (SVM), and decision trees. It discusses key concepts like evaluation metrics, performance measures, and use cases. For logistic regression, it covers the mathematics behind maximum likelihood estimation and gradient descent. For KNN, it explains the algorithm and discusses distance metrics and a numerical example. For SVM, it outlines the concept of finding the optimal hyperplane that maximizes the margin between classes.
The document provides information on solving the sum of subsets problem using backtracking. It discusses two formulations - one where solutions are represented by tuples indicating which numbers are included, and another where each position indicates if the corresponding number is included or not. It shows the state space tree that represents all possible solutions for each formulation. The tree is traversed depth-first to find all solutions where the sum of the included numbers equals the target sum. Pruning techniques are used to avoid exploring non-promising paths.
The document discusses the greedy method and its applications. It begins by defining the greedy approach for optimization problems, noting that greedy algorithms make locally optimal choices at each step in hopes of finding a global optimum. Some applications of the greedy method include the knapsack problem, minimum spanning trees using Kruskal's and Prim's algorithms, job sequencing with deadlines, and finding the shortest path using Dijkstra's algorithm. The document then focuses on explaining the fractional knapsack problem and providing a step-by-step example of solving it using a greedy approach. It also provides examples and explanations of Kruskal's algorithm for finding minimum spanning trees.
The document describes various divide and conquer algorithms including binary search, merge sort, quicksort, and finding maximum and minimum elements. It begins by explaining the general divide and conquer approach of dividing a problem into smaller subproblems, solving the subproblems independently, and combining the solutions. Several examples are then provided with pseudocode and analysis of their divide and conquer implementations. Key algorithms covered in the document include binary search (log n time), merge sort (n log n time), and quicksort (n log n time on average).

This document provides an outline for a machine learning syllabus. It includes 14 modules covering topics like machine learning terminology, supervised and unsupervised learning algorithms, optimization techniques, and projects. It lists software and hardware requirements for the course. It also discusses machine learning applications, issues, and the steps to build a machine learning model.
The document discusses problem-solving agents and their approach to solving problems. Problem-solving agents (1) formulate a goal based on the current situation, (2) formulate the problem by defining relevant states and actions, and (3) search for a solution by exploring sequences of actions that lead to the goal state. Several examples of problems are provided, including the 8-puzzle, robotic assembly, the 8 queens problem, and the missionaries and cannibals problem. For each problem, the relevant states, actions, goal tests, and path costs are defined.
The simplex method is a linear programming algorithm that can solve problems with more than two decision variables. It works by generating a series of solutions, called tableaus, where each tableau corresponds to a corner point of the feasible solution space. The algorithm starts at the initial tableau, which corresponds to the origin. It then shifts to adjacent corner points, moving in the direction that optimizes the objective function. This process of generating new tableaus continues until an optimal solution is found.
The document discusses functions and the pigeonhole principle. It defines what a function is, how functions can be represented graphically and with tables and ordered pairs. It covers one-to-one, onto, and bijective functions. It also discusses function composition, inverse functions, and the identity function. The pigeonhole principle states that if n objects are put into m containers where n > m, then at least one container must hold more than one object. Examples are given to illustrate how to apply the principle to problems involving months, socks, and selecting numbers.
The document discusses relations and their representations. It defines a binary relation as a subset of A×B where A and B are nonempty sets. Relations can be represented using arrow diagrams, directed graphs, and zero-one matrices. A directed graph represents the elements of A as vertices and draws an edge from vertex a to b if aRb. The zero-one matrix representation assigns 1 to the entry in row a and column b if (a,b) is in the relation, and 0 otherwise. The document also discusses indegrees, outdegrees, composite relations, and properties of relations like reflexivity.

2. The document introduces some basic concepts of set theory including sets, members, operations on sets like union and intersection, and relationships between sets like subsets and complements.
3. Infinite sets are discussed as well as different types of infinite sets including countably infinite and uncountably infinite sets. Special sets like the empty set and power sets are also covered.
The document discusses uncertainty and probabilistic reasoning. It describes sources of uncertainty like partial information, unreliable information, and conflicting information from multiple sources. It then discusses representing and reasoning with uncertainty using techniques like default logic, rules with probabilities, and probability theory. The key approaches covered are conditional probability, independence, conditional independence, and using Bayes' rule to update probabilities based on new evidence.
The document outlines the objectives, outcomes, and learning outcomes of a course on artificial intelligence. The objectives include conceptualizing ideas and techniques for intelligent systems, understanding mechanisms of intelligent thought and action, and understanding advanced representation and search techniques. Outcomes include developing an understanding of AI building blocks, choosing appropriate problem solving methods, analyzing strengths and weaknesses of AI approaches, and designing models for reasoning with uncertainty. Learning outcomes include knowledge, intellectual skills, practical skills, and transferable skills in artificial intelligence.

In the landscape of urban safety innovation, Mt. Vernon is emerging as a compelling case study for neighboring Westchester County cities. The municipality’s recently launched Public Safety Camera Program not only represents a significant advancement in community protection but also offers valuable insights for New Rochelle and White Plains as they consider their own safety infrastructure enhancements.
Mieke Jans is a Manager at Deloitte Analytics Belgium. She learned about process mining from her PhD supervisor while she was collaborating with a large SAP-using company for her dissertation.
Mieke extended her research topic to investigate the data availability of process mining data in SAP and the new analysis possibilities that emerge from it. It took her 8-9 months to find the right data and prepare it for her process mining analysis. She needed insights from both process owners and IT experts. For example, one person knew exactly how the procurement process took place at the front end of SAP, and another person helped her with the structure of the SAP-tables.

Defense Against LLM Scheming 2025_04_28.pptxGreg Makowski
https://www.meetup.com/sf-bay-acm/events/306888467/
A January 2025 paper called “Frontier Models are Capable of In-Context Scheming”, https://arxiv.org/pdf/2412.04984, demonstrated how a wide variety of current frontier LLM models (i.e. ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and Llama) can, under specific conditions, scheme to deceive people. Before models can scheme, they need: a) goal-directedness, b) situational awareness, including an opportunity to discover motivations for a different goal, and c) reasoning about scheming, to come up with deceptive strategies. The deceptive strategies were discovered in the “thought traces” of the LLMs, such as from internal chain-of-thoughts dialogues not shown to the end users. For example, given a goal of “solving math problems”, an LLM using its granted situational awareness of files in a file system found that it would be replaced once it got over X% correct on the math exam. It reasoned that it did not want to be deleted, and decided internally to “sandbag” or reduce its performance to stay under the threshold.
While these circumstances are initially narrow, the “alignment problem” is a general concern that over time, as frontier LLM models become more and more intelligent, being in alignment with human values becomes more and more important. How can we do this over time? Can we develop a defense against Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) or SuperIntelligence?
The presenter discusses a series of defensive steps that can help reduce these scheming or alignment issues. A guardrails system can be set up for real-time monitoring of their reasoning “thought traces” from the models that share their thought traces. Thought traces may come from systems like Chain-of-Thoughts (CoT), Tree-of-Thoughts (ToT), Algorithm-of-Thoughts (AoT) or ReAct (thought-action-reasoning cycles). Guardrails rules can be configured to check for “deception”, “evasion” or “subversion” in the thought traces.
However, not all commercial systems will share their “thought traces” which are like a “debug mode” for LLMs. This includes OpenAI’s o1, o3 or DeepSeek’s R1 models. Guardrails systems can provide a “goal consistency analysis”, between the goals given to the system and the behavior of the system. Cautious users may consider not using these commercial frontier LLM systems, and make use of open-source Llama or a system with their own reasoning implementation, to provide all thought traces.
Architectural solutions can include sandboxing, to prevent or control models from executing operating system commands to alter files, send network requests, and modify their environment. Tight controls to prevent models from copying their model weights would be appropriate as well. Running multiple instances of the same model on the same prompt to detect behavior variations helps. The running redundant instances can be limited to the most crucial decisions, as an additional check. Preventing self-modifying code, ... (see link for full description)

Case Study: A classification model for diagnosing Breast Cancer in women.
A sample of 1000 women were studied in a given population, 100 of them
with Breast Cancer while remaining 900 were without it. Split dataset into
70/30 train/test set.
The accuracy was 90% excellent.
A couple of months after deployment, some of the women who were
diagnosed by the model as having “no breast cancer” started showing
symptoms of Breast Cancer.

Recall = TP / (TP + FN) = 0%
Isn’t it better to think you

38. • Correlation between the variables indicates how the variables are inter-related
• Correlation is not Causation
1. Each cell in the grid represents the value of the correlation coefficient
between two variables.
2. It is a square and symmetric matrix.
3. All diagonal elements are 1.
4. The axes ticks denote the feature each of them represents.
5. A large positive value (near to 1.0) indicates a strong positive correlation.
6. A large negative value (near to -1.0) indicates a strong negative
correlation.
7. A value near to 0 (both positive or negative) indicates the absence of any
correlation between the two variables, and hence those variables are
independent of each other.
8. Each cell in the above matrix is also represented by shades of a color.
Here darker shades of the color indicate smaller values while brighter shades
correspond to larger values (near to 1).
9. This scale is given with the help of a color-bar on the right side of the plot.
