We all know why Rust is so great. However, it is a little bit too new and shiny compared to the old giants such as C/C++ and we so often need to use C++ bindings without proper documentation (though, I’m more than happy they even exist, thank you community!). Background Now…

Normal distributions are important in Machine Learning (ML). Yet, don’t be surprised that most people don’t know the properties of Normal distributions that are central to many ML algorithms. In this article, we assume you know the basics. We will cover it briefly only. Then, we will shift gear and…

Understand how gradient descent algorithm works in machine learning. If you are a machine learning enthusiast you have probably come across the term gradient descent algorithm or even have used it in some of your models. You would know that it is an optimization algorithm and would have applied it…
