We would talk about and implement some common machine learning architectures and building blocks which can be applied to a variety of use cases. The topics include Siamese networks, Triplet Networks, Skip connections, Batch Normalization and Dropout. We would use the Duplicate Question Dataset from Quora to demo these architectures.
We would talk about and implement some common machine learning architectures and building blocks which can be applied to a variety of use cases. I would show all the techniques as part of steps we take for solving the Duplicate Question Detection problem (based on Quora Dataset ) so that the audience understands how these ideas complement each other.
The topics to be discussed include:
Siamese networks - Useful for finding similarity between two comparable objects (text, image etc)
Triplet Networks - Extension of Siamese Networks
Skip/Residual connections - Allow for training deeper networks
Batch Normalization - Accelerate the training of deep neural networks
Dropout - An amazingly simple regularisation trick
Prerequisites:
Attendees should have a basic idea of machine learning and be comfortable with Python
