Why is this most often used normalization technique in neural architectures? While reading the BatchNormalization (BN) paper written by Sergey Ioffe and Christian Szegedy. I came across the fact that it is cited by around 29.5k till now. …

What drives the AlphaFold to battle for a 50 year’s old grand challenge of biology? — Cells are considered a basic unit of life. Inside every cell in a body, billions of tiny molecular machines are hard at work. They are Proteins. Proteins are made up of a sequence of amino acids. An average protein has about 300 amino acid residues. Proteins compose structural and…

A mathematical explanation of optimization of the linearly separable classifier using quadratic programming. — For linearly separable data the objective function of support vector machines(SVM) defined as;

“Abundant data generally belittles the importance of algorithm”. But we are not always blessed with the abundance. So, we need to have a good knowledge of all the tools and an intuitive sense for their applicability. This post aims at explaining one such tool, Support Vector Machine. Support vector machines…
