Gaussian Mixture Models - The Math of Intelligence (Week 7)

Показать описание
We're going to predict customer churn using a clustering technique called the Gaussian Mixture Model! This is a probability distribution that consists of multiple Gaussian distributions, very cool. I also have something important but unrelated to say in the beginning of the video.

I love how passionate you are about this

In case you have bad results using Gaussian mixtures, keep in mind the EM optimization only has local convergence properties, just like gradient descent: it can get stuck. Restarting the the density estimation with other initial parameters might solve it ! :)

Siraj. The depth and range of your knowledge still continues to amaze me.

I watch 4-5 vídeos of you per day. I'm Learning generative models for drug Design Siraj. Watch your videos not only motivates me, also makes my life & study fun and cool.

Thank you! Your videos helped me a lot... I was so lost and confused about this topic that I was on the verge of giving up. Checked out your tutorials that gave a lot of useful information and insights. Thanks a tonne! :) :D Keep up the good stuff

Very well I was lost while our college professor was explaining GMM and EM...

Very energetic presentation. Kept me attentive throughout the video. Hit the sub 2 minutes in it.

Hey Siraj!

Just found your channel and it doesn't cease to amaze. I am learning a lot about AI and ML with your vibrant and enthusiastic expression. My 2 cents would be to talk a tiny bit slower but it is up to you. Congrats and Keep up the Good Work!

suggestion at time 6:45 minutes, the y values aren't the probabilities of the x values, intuitively the probability for a single point on the gaussian will be 0.

hey siraj ! EM is a heuristic with no guarantees for global convergence. there have been recent algorithms based on method of moments, random projections etc. which provably recover the gmm under some assumptions

Siraj, I think it would of been helpful if you showed the resulting clusters that you get from the gaussian mixture model approach in your data. You showed how to model your data using the gaussian mixture, but I am unclear on how we get the specific clusters (say 2 clusters) from that?

Siraj never fails to inspire, and I agree with his point strongly - we are the most important community in the world today. We all have a common goal, of making the world better with the best tech we have to offer. I for one am working on a universal translator not just for spoken languages, but for sign, braille and more. ML and NNs has moved my research forward by at least a decade.
