Functional Data Analysis: A Solution to the Curse of Dimensionality | by Donato Riccio | Dec, 2022

Using gradient boosting and FDA to classify ECG data in PythonPhoto by Markus Spiske on UnsplashThe curse of dimensionality refers to the challenges and difficulties that arise when dealing with high-dimensional datasets in machine learning. As the number of dimensions (or features) in a dataset increases, the amount of data required to accurately learn the relationships between the features and the target variable grows exponentially. This can make it difficult, to train a high-performing machine learning model on a…

How to Build TensorFlow Models with the Keras Functional API | by Derrick Mwiti | Nov, 2022

Examples and code for building custom models with Keras Functional APIPhoto by Marvin Meyer on UnsplashThe Keras Functional API provides a way to build flexible and complex neural networks in TensorFlow. The Functional API is used to design networks that are not linear. In this article, you will discover that the Keras Functional API is used to create networks that:Are non-linear.Share layers.Have multiple inputs and outputs.We used the Sequential API in the CNN tutorial to build an image classification model with Keras…

“Hybrid” immune system reboot leads to functional diabetes cure in mice

Researchers at Stanford University have developed a functional cure for diabetes in mice, by creating a kind of hybrid immune system. Treated animals were able to manage their blood glucose levels for the duration of the trial, without needing the immune suppressants normally required for transplants.In patients with type 1 diabetes, the immune system mistakenly begins attacking the islet cells in the pancreas, which are responsible for producing insulin. Without the right levels of this vital hormone, blood glucose…

YouTube’s dislike button is barely functional, says Mozilla

YouTube’s dislike button does nothing for the algorithm, a new Mozilla study has found. We continue to see content we don’t want no matter how much we mash that thumbs down. The same goes for “Not Interested” and “Don’t recommend this channel” options. The report, titled Does This Button Work? Investigating YouTube’s Ineffective User Controls, comes after a months-long study of YouTube behavior by the Mozilla Foundation. They enlisted the help of 20,000 volunteer web users through an extension on Mozilla’s Firefox…
