Neural networks and deep learning currently provide some of the most reliable image recognition, speech recognition, and natural language processing solutions available. However, it wasn’t always that way. One of the earliest and simplest teaching philosophies for artificial intelligence was marginally successful. It suggested that loading the maximum amount of information into a powerful computer […]
Graph Databases: Updates on Their Growing Popularity
Graph databases became recognized as a database design in 2006, when Tim Bernes-Lee developed the concept of a huge database called the “linked data.” This concept became the basis of graph storage, and could display how organizations, people, and items or entities are associated, or “interconnected” with one another, and the nature of the relationships. […]

Ensemble Models: Bagging and Boosting
Click to learn more about author Rosaria Silipo. Ensemble models combine multiple learning algorithms to improve the predictive performance of each algorithm alone. There are two main strategies to ensemble models — bagging and boosting — and many examples of predefined ensemble algorithms. Bootstrap aggregation, or bagging, is an ensemble meta-learning technique that trains many […]
