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.

Summary

In this chapter, we learned about graph-based algorithms. This chapter used different techniques of representing, searching, and processing data represented as graphs. We also developed skills to be able to calculate the shortest distance between two vertices, and we built neighborhoods in our problem space. This knowledge should help us use graph theory to address problems such as fraud detection.

In the next chapter, we will focus on different unsupervised machine learning algorithms. Many of the use-case techniques discussed in this chapter complement unsupervised learning algorithms, which will be discussed in detail in the next chapter. Finding evidence of fraud in a dataset is an example of such use cases.
