Fintech lenders have a dominant share of the sub-Rs 1 lakh loan market, both in terms of number of loans and the amount disbursed, but will need to keep an eye on sustainability going forward, a report released by credit bureau Experian and Digital Lenders’ Association of India has found.Till September 2023, 77% of the loans under Rs 1 lakh were given out by fintech lenders, from around 50% in FY18. In value terms, fintechs accounted for 50% of market share with non-banking lenders making up 25%. In FY18, this share was…

Understand the logic behind the fundamental algorithm used inside the gradient descentIntroductionIn time series analysis, there is often a need to understand the trend direction of a sequence by taking into account previous values. Approximation of the next values in a sequence can be performed in several ways, including the usage of simple baselines or the construction of advanced machine learning models.An exponential (weighted) moving average is a robust trade-off between these two methods. Having a simple recursive…

While the opportunities offered by generative AI are significant, there are also major challenges, such as the difficulty and cost of developing or maintaining large language models (LLMs), as well as their potential inaccuracy. The popularity of generative AI is growing increasingly. Artificial Intelligence is now a serious subject of conversation in every corner, from dinner parties to news channels or digital transformation actors. Of course, Artificial Intelligence technologies in general, and more specifically…

For about a week now, the Sun was relentlessly blasting the Earth with solar flares. But today, February 24, it appears that there will be a brief period of rest as no solar flares or coronal mass ejection (CME) are incoming to spark solar storms for Earth to deal with. But there is no reason to celebrate as another terrifying development is taking place on the Earth-facing solar disk. The sunspot AR32334, which first appeared on the Sun on Monday, has been crackling with solar flares. NASA Solar Dynamics Observatory…

Compensating for trend in exponential smoothing modelsPhoto by Jeremy Thomas on UnsplashIn my previous post, we introduced the idea of exponential smoothing for building forecasting models. The gist of exponential smoothing is to put more weight on recent observations and less weight, exponentially, on more historical ones.The first model we introduced was simple exponential smoothing. The ‘simple’ part refers to the model not taking into account trend or seasonality, and only forecasting the level. This leads to this…

An introduction to exponential smoothing and implementing it in Python to carry out forecastsPhoto by Shot by Cerqueira on UnsplashThe area of forecasting contains sundry models. In my previous post we discussed some basic forecasting techniques, whom often provide a good base to iterate from and build more complex models. One such natural iteration from these basic models is exponential smoothing.The idea of exponential smoothing originated in the 1950s and is basically a fancy way of stating that we will put more weight…

The Bitgert (BRISE) popularity in the crypto market exploded in early 2022, immediately after the launch of the only zero gas fee blockchain in the industry, the BRC20 blockchain. By early Q2 2022, the BRISE reached the current ATH, which the coin has been unable to break for months. But now that the Bitgert team has started releasing the roadmap V2 products, some of the most disruptive crypto projects in the market, crypto analysts believe this ATH might be crossed this year. These products will explode the adoption…

Looking at the charts, Bitgert (BRISE) was one of the coins that did quite well this weekend. This is compared to most of the coins’ performance, including the big players. The crypto market has been generally bearish today, and it looks like this might also see most of the coins register a downward trend this week. However, Bitgert is one of the coins expected to do well in the market this week. In fact, crypto analysts’ prediction is that BRISE might increase by 300% in the next few days. The price…
