Things to Remember

  • Approach of learning by optimization
  • Optimization goal for logistic regression
  • Key terms: logistic function, sigmoid function, log conditional likelihood, loss function, stochastic gradient descent
  • Updates for logistic regression, with and without regularization
  • Formalization of logistic regression as matching expectations between data and model
  • Regularization and how it interacts with overfitting
  • How "sparsifying" regularization affects run-time and memory
  • What the "hash trick" is and why it should work
