### Visualization of multiple Markov models

I am working on a project where we compare over 10 different Markov models, each representing a different treatment plan. Most often single models are visualized with a decision tree or transition ...

### Does batch normalization mean that sigmoids work better than ReLUs?

Batch normalization and ReLUs are both solutions to the vanishing gradient problem. If we're using batch normalization, should we then use sigmoids? Or are there features of ReLUs that make them ...

### Catboost Categorical Features Handling Options (CTR settings)?

I am working with a dataset with large number of categorical features (>80%) predicting a continuous target variable (i.e. Regression). I have been reading quite a bit about ways to handle categorical ...

### Why a restricted Boltzman machine (RBM) tends to learn very similar weights?

These are 4 different weight matrices that I got after training a restricted Boltzman machine (RBM) with ~4k visible units and only 96 hidden units/weight vectors. As you can see, weights are ...

### Unbalanced class: class_weight for ML algorithms in Spark MLLib

In python sklearn, there are multiple algorithms (e.g. regression, random forest ... etc.) that have the class_weight parameter to handle unbalanced data. However, I do not find such parameter for ...

### ngram and RNN prediction rate wrt word index

I tried to plot the rate of correct predictions (for top 1 shortlist) with relation to word's position in sentence : I was expecting to see a plateau sooner on the ngram setup since it need less ...

### How to use a one-hot encoded nominal feature in a classifier in Scikit Learn?

I'm working on a genre classification problem on a songs dataset. Since genre is a nominal feature, I used sklearn's LabelBinarizer to get the one-hot encoding for this feature for every row in the ...
