Shall we credit storks for airlifting the babies?” Neil deGrasse Tyson, American astrophysicist. One…

Data is everywhere. The present human lifestyle relies heavily on data. Machine learning is a huge domain that strives hard continuously to make great things out of the largely available data. With data in hand, a machine learning algorithm tries to find the pattern or the distribution of that data. Machine learning algorithms are usually…

Probabilistic Graphical Models(PGM) are a very solid way of representing joint probability distributions on a set of random variables. It allows users to do inferences in a computationally efficient way. PGM makes use of independent conditions between the random variables to create a graph structure representing the relationships between different random variables. Further, we can…
