🚀 From Naive Assumptions to Ensemble Mastery Just conquered Naive Bayes, KNN, Decision Trees & Random Forest in my ML journey! 🧠 Key Breakthroughs: Naive Bayes: Shocked how well it works despite "naive" feature independence assumption! All variants follow same elegant logic. KNN: Mind-blown by curse of dimensionality - in high dimensions, "nearest" becomes meaningless. Changed my feature engineering approach forever. Decision Trees: Felt like high school algorithm charts! Key insight: pruning to avoid overfitting matters more than growing. Random Forest: Ultimate "aha moment"! Chaining multiple models to overcome individual weaknesses = weak learners → strong predictions. 💻 Real Application: Applied all to CarDekho car pricing dataset (self-scraped). Each showed unique strengths: Naive Bayes: Great for categorical features KNN: Needs careful scaling Decision Trees: Perfect stakeholder explainability Random Forest: Best performance 🎯 Startup Relevance: Naive Bayes: Quick prototypes, text classification KNN: Recommendation systems Decision Trees: Explainable AI for compliance Random Forest: Production-ready with minimal tuning 📊 Current Status: Most Confident: KNN - can explain to anyone Biggest Challenge: Random Forest math (information gain calculations) The Compound Effect: Each concept builds on the previous. Learning accelerates exponentially! What's Next: Advanced ensemble methods & neural networks!
