The Machine Learning “Advent Calendar” Day 11: Linear Regression in Excel
Linear Regression looks simple, but it introduces the core ideas of modern machine learning: loss functions, optimization, gradients, scaling, and interpretation. In this article, we rebuild Linear Regression in Excel, compare the closed-form solution with Gradient Descent, and see how the coefficients evolve step by step. This foundation naturally leads to regularization, kernels, classification, and the dual view. Linear Regression is not just a straight line, but the starting point for many models we will explore next in […]

Machine-learning tool gives doctors a more detailed 3D picture of fetal health
For pregnant women, ultrasounds are an informative (and sometimes necessary) procedure. They typically produce two-dimensional black-and-white scans of fetuses that can reveal key insights, including biological sex, approximate size, and abnormalities like heart issues or cleft lip. If your doctor wants a closer look, they may use magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), which uses magnetic fields to capture images that can be combined to create a 3D view of the fetus. MRIs aren’t a catch-all, though; the 3D scans […]
