  • None

Assignment

  • Implement logistic regression and apply it to a couple of datasets, using a gradient descent to optimize. Experiment by changing the regularization parameter. (Details to be posted later.)

What You Should Know Afterward

  • How to implement logistic regression.
  • Why regularization matters.
  • How logistic regression and naive Bayes are similar and different.
  • What "overfitting" is, and why optimizing performance on a training set does not necessarily lead to good performance on a test set.
