Trevor Hastie - Gradient Boosting Machine Learning 

Why did video editor put the inset video right in the middle over the last line of the slides? Should have put video so that it would not block the slides, like in in the corner.

BIg Fan of Prof. Hastie! Genius Statistician indee!

Great lecture, got to revise the basics Thanks prof 🙌

This guy is awesome: he knows his stuff quite well and can explain it great!

it's funny how boosting applies to real life---like cleaning my basement of 20 year accumulation of stuff and having emotional parameters attached--basically a divide and conquer method called boosting while one processes painful emotion to stuff predictors out of each diminished remainder pile of stuff. at the end, you'll say "phew. that was not as herculean as cleaning the augean stables."

I know that profesor Trevor Hastie is good but if you are here for learning about Gradient Boosting then this is not the video for you. The lecture is only of 30mins and rest of the 15mins. is Q&As. It only gives a very brief overview of Gradient Boosting and also covers other algorithms which doesn't help the title.

great presentation

Incredible talk.

Excellent advice in Q & A. Thank you.

I didnt know he had a South African accent! Greetings from Africa.

Bagging is poor man's Bayes .. haha ;)

Amazing lecture. Thank you!

Very good talk! Congrats!

At 9:40, why is bias slightly increased for bagging just because the trees are shallower? If it were just a single tree then, yes bias would be increased with a shallow tree vs a deep tree. However, if the definition of bagging is to average the results of N shallow trees, then shouldn't the definition of bias also take into account that we are defining the model as using N trees???

Brilliant!! :-)

Legend 🙏

oh yeah
