An Overview of MARS

What is “MARS”?

MARS®, an acronym for Multivariate Adaptive Regression Splines, is a multivariate non-parametric regression procedure introduced in 1991 by world-renowned Stanford statistician and physicist, Jerome Friedman (Friedman, 1991). Salford Systems’ MARS, based on the original code, has been substantially enhanced with new features and capabilities in exclusive collaboration with Friedman.

Uma excelente aplicação web para perceber como as redes neuronais funcionam

Um, What Is a Neural Network?

It’s a technique for building a computer program that learns from data. It is based very loosely on how we think the human brain works. First, a collection of software “neurons” are created and connected together, allowing them to send messages to each other. Next, the network is asked to solve a problem, which it attempts to do over and over, each time strengthening the connections that lead to success and diminishing those that lead to failure. For a more detailed introduction to neural networks, Michael Nielsen’s Neural Networks and Deep Learning is a good place to start. For a more technical overview, try Deep Learning by Ian Goodfellow, Yoshua Bengio, and Aaron Courville.

This Is Cool, Can I Repurpose It?

Please do! We’ve open sourced it on GitHub with the hope that it can make neural networks a little more accessible and easier to learn. You’re free to use it in any way that follows our Apache License. And if you have any suggestions for additions or changes, please let us know.

We’ve also provided some controls below to enable you tailor the playground to a specific topic or lesson. Just choose which features you’d like to be visible below then save this link, or refresh the page.

What Do All the Colors Mean?

Orange and blue are used throughout the visualization in slightly different ways, but in general orange shows negative values while blue shows positive values.

The data points (represented by small circles) are initially colored orange or blue, which correspond to positive one and negative one.

In the hidden layers, the lines are colored by the weights of the connections between neurons. Blue shows a positive weight, which means the network is using that output of the neuron as given. An orange line shows that the network is assiging a negative weight.

In the output layer, the dots are colored orange or blue depending on their original values. The background color shows what the network is predicting for a particular area. The intensity of the color shows how confident that prediction is.

What Library Are You Using?

We wrote a tiny neural network library that meets the demands of this educational visualization. For real-world applications, consider the TensorFlow library.

Credits

This was created by Daniel Smilkov and Shan Carter. This is a continuation of many people’s previous work — most notably Andrej Karpathy’s convnet.js demo and Chris Olah’s articles about neural networks. Many thanks also to D. Sculley for help with the original idea and to Fernanda Viégas and Martin Wattenberg and the rest of the Big Picture and Google Brain teams for feedback and guidance.

The Many Faces of ROC Analysis

Bom tutorial sobre curvas ROC

Receiver Operating Characteristics (ROC) Analysis originated from signal detection theory, as a model of how well a receiver is able to detect a signal in the presence of noise. Its key feature is the distinction between hit rate (or true positive rate) and false alarm rate (or false positive rate) as two separate performance measures. ROC analysis has also widely been used in medical data analysis to study the effect of varying the threshold on the numerical outcome of a diagnostic test. It has been introduced to machine learning relatively recently, in response to classification tasks with varying class distributions or misclassification costs (hereafter referred to as skew). ROC analysis is set to cause a paradigm shift in machine learning. Separating performance on classes is almost always a good idea from an analytical perspective. For instance, it can help us to

  • understand the behaviour and skew-sensitivity of many machine learning metrics, including rule learning heuristics and decision tree splitting criteria, by plotting their isometrics in ROC space;
  • develop new metrics specifically designed to improve the Area Under the ROC Curve (AUC) of a model;
  • understand fundamental algorithms such as the separate-and-conquer or sequential covering rule learning algorithm, by tracing its trajectory through a sequence of ROC spaces.

The goal of this tutorial is to develop the ROC perspective in a systematic way, demonstrating the many faces of ROC analysis in machine learning.

C Tutorial

Bom tutorial de C on-line.

Learn C with our popular C tutorial, which will take you from the very basics of C all the way through sophisticated topics like binary trees and data structures. By the way, if you’re on the fence about learning C or C++, I recommend going through the C++ tutorial instead as it is a more modern language.

Introduction and Basic C Features

Pointers, Arrays and Strings

File IO and command line arguments

Linked lists, binary trees, recursion
