Description:

In this talk, we’ll delve into the fascinating world of ensemble learning techniques in Machine learning —a powerful paradigm that combines the strengths of multiple models to enhance overall predictive performance. Here’s what you can expect: 1. Foundations: Understanding Weak and Strong Learners 2. Bagging: An ensemble technique that has multiple base models trained independently and in parallel. 3. Boosting: A technique that sequentially builds a strong model by combining multiple weak models. 4. Stacking: Model fusion of multiple models, building a more generalized yet robust model.

Join us in this talk, where we’ll demystify these techniques, understand their inner workings, and discover how they elevate predictive performance. Whether you’re a data scientist, machine learning enthusiast, or curious learner, this talk promises insights that go beyond single models!

Prerequisites:

1. Basic Machine Learning Knowledge: Familiarity with fundamental concepts like classification, regression, Bias and variance, and model evaluation.
2. Python Proficiency: Comfortable working with Python and libraries like NumPy, pandas, and scikit-learn.
3. Understanding of Basic Models: Awareness of models like Decision Trees, SVM, KNN, LogisticRegression etc.
4. Curiosity and Enthusiasm: A desire to explore ensemble techniques and enhance predictive models.
