My Summer internship at IBM as a Data Scientist has ended gracefully. I am very grateful for the opportunity. During the time, IBMers from various positions and background were asked to contribute filling the educational gaps exist in Data Science and Big Data by the team behind BDU and DSWB. Undoubtedly, BDU is becoming more … Continue reading Summer Internship at IBM as a Data Scientist
General Monty Hall Simulation
The idea of this post came up to my mind last night. I'm assuming you have already heard about the famous Monty Hall Problem (if you haven't, watch the quicker intro in Numberphile clip). Here I'd like to demonstrate a simulation taking the general case into account, i.e. assume we have $latex n$ bins (boxes or doors, … Continue reading General Monty Hall Simulation
Restaurant Revenue Prediction with BART Machine
In this post, I'd like to show you how to use the newly written package on Bayesian Additive Regression Trees i.e. BART Machine for Restaurant Revenue Prediction with R. The datasets are part of the passed Kaggle competition that can be found here. What is BART? BART is the Bayesian sibling of Random Forest. For … Continue reading Restaurant Revenue Prediction with BART Machine
Vector Bundles, Locally Free Sheaves and Divisors on a Curve
In this post, I'll be summarizing the basics of the correspondence between vector bundles, locally free sheaves and divisors on a smooth curve (defined over an algebraically closed field $latex k$ of characteristic zero) together with some of their individual properties. Locally free sheaves and Vector bundles: Proposition 1: a) A coherent sheaf $latex \mathcal{E}$ on a … Continue reading Vector Bundles, Locally Free Sheaves and Divisors on a Curve
Classification of Vector Bundles on Elliptic curves
I'm supposed to give a talk on this subject for one of my courses, so I consider this post as a "pre-exposition." I learned from and heavily used the great exposition "Vector bundles on curves" by Montserrat Teixidor I Bigas in this post. I wrote up the pre-requisites here. In 1957, Atiyah in this famous paper "Vector bundles over … Continue reading Classification of Vector Bundles on Elliptic curves
Some Homological Algebra Computations
In this post, I'm going to write down the detailed proofs of some of the exercises in Rotman's Homological Algebra. They were asked in ML and then answered by me. 1. Let $latex A$ be a torsion abelian group. Then $latex \text{Ext}^1_\mathbb{Z}(A, \mathbb{Z}) \cong \text{Hom}_\mathbb{Z}(A,S^1)$, where $latex S^1$ is the unit circle. One point is … Continue reading Some Homological Algebra Computations
