Topic: Deep Autoencoder in Real Time, Hands-on-session: CNN and Deep Autoencoder
This is hands on session on CNN and Deep Autoencoder. A deep autoencoder is composed of two, symmetrical deep-belief networks that typically have four or five shallow layers representing the encoding half of the net, and second set of four or five layers that make up the decoding half. They compress the input into a lower-dimensional code and then reconstruct the output from this representation. The code is a compact “summary” or “compression” of the input, also called the latent-space representation. An autoencoder consists of 3 components: encoder, code and decoder. They take images as inputs, and output a probability distribution of the classes. Autoencoders (AE) are a family of neural networks for which the input is the same as the output. They work by compressing the input into a latent-space representation, and then reconstructing the output from this representation

Topic: Deep Neural Network Learning Techniques: RNN, LSTM, and GRU
A recurrent neural network (RNN) is a class of artificial neural network where connections between units form a directed graph along a sequence. This allows it to exhibit dynamic temporal behavior for a time sequence.In other neural networks, all the inputs are independent of each other. Long short-term memory is an artificial recurrent neural network architecture used in the field of deep learning. Unlike standard feedforward neural networks, LSTM has feedback connections. It can not only process single data points, but also entire sequences of data. Gated recurrent units (GRUs) are a gating mechanism in recurrent neural networks, introduced in 2014 by Kyunghyun Cho et al. The GRU is like a long short-term memory (LSTM) with a forget gate, but has fewer parameters than LSTM, as it lacks an output gate.

Topic: Safeguarding Online Communities from Toxicity
An estimated 1% of a new community is toxic. If that is ignored, the best community members leave and toxicity can grow as high as 20%.The rapid spread of toxic news is what makes online communities today horrid and so easy to use as a platform to exhibit poor behavior. The causes for this poor behavior can be because Reddit has a “crowd mentality” among its users. It might be best to avoid sending them a friend request or commenting on their post in the first place who is showing poor behaviour. Respond with politeness. If a toxic person tries to stir up trouble with you, don’t give them any ammunition. Reply to a critical or competitive remark by saying something neutral or positive.

Abstract:
ML Algorithms: Solutions to Non-linear data using MLP, Gradient Descent and Backpropagation
Standard back propagation is a gradient descent algorithm. Back-propagation is the essence of neural net training. It is the method of fine-tuning the weights of a neural net based on the error rate obtained in the previous epoch (i.e., iteration). Proper tuning of the weights allows you to reduce error rates and to make the model reliable by increasing its generalization. The MLP lies on its nonlinear ability, which actually originates from the function fl. A multilayer perceptron (MLP) is a class of feedforward artificial neural network (ANN). MLP utilizes a supervised learning technique called backpropagation for training. Its multiple layers and non-linear activation distinguish MLP from a linear perceptron.

Principal component analysis (PCA) is a technique for reducing the dimensionality of such datasets, increasing interpretability but at the same time minimizing information loss. It does so by creating new uncorrelated variables that successively maximize variance. Principal Component Analysis (PCA) is used to explain the variance-covariance structure of a set of variables through linear combinations. To interpret each principal components, examine the magnitude and direction of the coefficients for the original variables. The larger the absolute value of the coefficient, the more important the corresponding variable is in calculating the component.

Statistics is a form of mathematical analysis that uses quantified models, representations and synopses for a given set of experimental data or real-life studies. Statistics studies methodologies to gather, review, analyze and draw conclusions from data
To summarize, the five reasons to study statistics are to be able to effectively conduct research, to be able to read and evaluate journal articles, to further develop critical thinking and analytic skills, to act an informed consumer, and to know when you need to hire outside statistical help.Descriptive statistics are used to describe the basic features of the data in a study. They provide simple summaries about the sample and the measures. Together with simple graphics analysis, they form the basis of virtually every quantitative analysis of data.Some statistical measures include-Mean, Regression analysis, Skewness, Kurtosis, Variance, Analysis of variance.Statistical inference is the process of using data analysis to deduce properties of an underlying distribution of probability. Inferential statistical analysis infers properties of a population, for example by testing hypotheses and deriving estimates. Statistics are used behind all the medical study. Statistic help doctors keep track of where the baby should be in his/her mental development. Physician’s also use statistics to examine the effectiveness of treatments. Statistics are very important for observation, analysis and mathematical prediction models.
