Published inTowards Data Science·Jan 26, 2018Measuring Object Detection models — mAP — What is Mean Average Precision?For most common problems that are solved using machine learning, there are usually multiple models available. Each one has its own quirks and would perform differently based on various factors. Each model is judged by its performance over a dataset, usually called the “validation/test” dataset. This performance is measured using…Machine Learning9 min readMachine Learning9 min read
Published inTowards Data Science·Dec 6, 2017About Train, Validation and Test Sets in Machine LearningThis is aimed to be a short primer for anyone who needs to know the difference between the various dataset splits while training Machine Learning models. For this article, I would quote the base definitions from Jason Brownlee’s excellent article on the same topic, it is quite comprehensive, do check…Machine Learning4 min readMachine Learning4 min read
Dec 3, 2017Precision and Recall — A simple explanationIn this article, I want to go into really basic explanations of what Precision and Recall mean, I will refrain from getting into using the words True Positives, False Positives, True Negatives etc.; because although they are technically correct terms, they tend to get a bit overwhelming for the beginner. …Statistics2 min readStatistics2 min read
