Machine learning is becoming increasingly relevant in all walks of science and technology. In fact, it’s an integral part of many fields like computer vision, natural language processing, robotics, e-commerce, spam filtering, and so on. The list is potential applications is pretty huge! People working on machine learning tend to build models based on training data, in the hope that those models will perform well on unseen data. As we all know, every model has some parameters associated with it. We want our machine learning models to estimate these parameters from the training data. But as it turns out, there are a few parameters that cannot be estimated using this procedure. These parameters tend have a significant impact on the performance of your model.
Hyperparameters are important because they directly control the behaviour of the training algorithm and have a significant impact on the performance of the model is being trained.
“A good choice of hyperparameters can really make an algorithm shine”. Give a read to the article and know about the parameters or more precisely hyperparameters which makes Neural Networks really powerful.
In the previous story (part A) we discussed the structure and three main building blocks of a Neural Network. This story will take you…
