The 3 types of machine learning (that every data scientist should know).
In 3 minutes I'll eviscerate your confusion. Let's go: đź§µ 1. The 3 Fundamental Types of Machine Learning:
K-means is an essential algorithm for Data Science.
But it's confusing for beginners.
Let me demolish your confusion: 1. K-Means

Principal Component Analysis (PCA) is the gold standard in dimensionality reduction.
But almost every beginner struggles understanding how it works (and why to use it).
In 3 minutes, I'll demolish your confusion: 1. What is PCA?
PCA is a statistical technique used in data analysis, mainly for dimensionality reduction. It's beneficial when dealing with large datasets with many variables, and it helps simplify the data's complexity while retaining as much variability as possible.

Random forest was wild to me.
In 3 minutes, I'll share 3 weeks of research on Random Forest.
Let's go: 1. What is a Random Forest?
Random Forest builds multiple decision trees and merges them together to get a more accurate and stable prediction. Each tree in the random forest gives a prediction, and the most voted prediction is considered as the final result.

Bayes' Theorem is a fundamental concept in data science.
But it took me 2 years to understand its importance.
In 2 minutes, I'll share my best findings over the last 2 years exploring Bayesian Statistics. Let's go. 1. Background:
"An Essay towards solving a Problem in the Doctrine of Chances," was published in 1763, two years after Bayes' death. In this essay, Bayes addressed the problem of inverse probability, which is the basis of what is now known as Bayesian probability.

The concept that helped me go from bad models to good models: Bias and Variance.
In 4 minutes, I'll share 4 years of experience in managing bias and variance in my machine learning models. Let's go. đź§µ 1. Generalization:
Bias and variance control your models ability to generalize on new, unseen data, not just the data it was trained on. The goal in machine learning is to build models that generalize well. To do so, I manage bias and variance.
