Shrink to Win: Regularization’s Role in Model Success

Mathuranathan — Sat, 01 Mar 2025 08:11:48 +0000

Overfitting? Shrink your model! Regularization prevents memorization, enabling true learning & robust success. Discover how. A central problem in machine learning is to develop algorithms that work well both on training data and on new inputs (test data). Most machine learning tasks can be generalized as the estimation of a function \(\hat{f}(X)\) that maps the ... Read more

Model Distillation Explained: How DeepSeek Leverages the Technique for AI Success

Mathuranathan — Wed, 26 Feb 2025 08:45:06 +0000

Model distillation, also known as knowledge distillation, is a supervised learning technique that condenses the capabilities and thought processes of a large, pre-trained “teacher” model into a smaller “student” model. This allows the student model to achieve comparable performance to the teacher model, but at a lower cost and with faster performance. Chinese AI lab ... Read more

Error Vector Magnitude (EVM) and Its Applications

Mathuranathan — Tue, 13 Aug 2024 18:30:00 +0000

Error Vector Magnitude (EVM) is a key performance metric in communication systems, particularly in digital modulation schemes. It quantifies the difference between the actual transmitted signal and the received signal, thereby measuring the quality of the transmitted signal. EVM is expressed as a percentage or in decibels (dB). Applications of EVM EVM is a crucial ... Read more
