Imran Ahmad

Imran Ahmad has been a part of cutting-edge research about algorithms and machine learning for many years. He completed his PhD in 2010, in which he proposed a new linear programming-based algorithm that can be used to optimally assign resources in a large-scale cloud computing environment. In 2017, Imran developed a real-time analytics framework named StreamSensing. He has since authored multiple research papers that use StreamSensing to process multimedia data for various machine learning algorithms. Imran is currently working at Advanced Analytics Solution Center (A2SC) at the Canadian Federal Government as a data scientist. He is using machine learning algorithms for critical use cases. Imran is a visiting professor at Carleton University, Ottawa. He has also been teaching for Google and Learning Tree for the last few years.

Data representation for sequential models

Timesteps add depth to the data, making it a 3D structure. In the context of sequential data, each “unit” or instance of this dimension is termed a “timestep.” This is crucial to remember: while the dimension is called “timesteps,” each individual data point in this dimension is a “timestep.” Figure 10.4 illustrates the three dimensions in data used for training RNNs, emphasizing the addition of timesteps:

Figure 10.4: The 3D data structures used in RNN training

Given that the concept of timesteps is a new addition to our exploration, a special notation is introduced to represent it effectively. A superscript enclosing a timestep in angle brackets is paired with the variable in question. For example, using this notation, and represent the value of the variable stock_price at timestep t1 and timestep t2, respectively.

The choice of dividing data into batches, essentially...
