Mean Shift - Learn Data Science with Travis

Mean-Shift

Mean Shift is a powerful clustering algorithm used in unsupervised machine learning to identify clusters within a dataset without prior knowledge of the number of clusters. Unlike K-Means, which requires the user to specify the number of clusters beforehand, Mean Shift dynamically determines the number of clusters based on the density of data points. The algorithm works by iteratively shifting data points towards the mean of nearby points, effectively identifying areas of high density. This makes it particularly useful in applications such as image segmentation and object tracking, where understanding the underlying structure of data is crucial.

Understanding Dataset Shift

Towards Data Science

Dataset shifting is one of those topics which is simple, perhaps so simple that it is considered trivially obvious. In my own data science classes the idea was discussed briefly, however, I think a…

Essential Java

The Java language provides three operator for performing bitwise shifting on 32 and 64 bit integer values. These are all binary operators with the first operand being the value to be shifted, and the ...

Covariate Shift Is Way More Problematic Than Most People Think

Daily Dose of Data Science

Almost all real-world ML models gradually degrade in performance due to covariate shift. For starters, covariate shift happens when the distribution of features changes over time, but the true (natura...

Signed vs unsigned shift

Essential Java

In Java, all number primitives are signed. For example, an int always represent values from [-2^31 - 1, 2^31], keeping the first bit to sign the value - 1 for negative value, 0 for positive. Basic shi...
