Not only a very well-explained video, but aesthetically superb too; the diagrams, the music when the trees are being created - brilliant video! Well done!
Hey, I really like the fact that you tend to justify why certain concepts are used the way they are! Hoping to see more fundamental machine learning concepts covered in the future!
As someone who makes videos on machine learning, I'll say this is an excellent explanation. I like how the algorithm is explained verbally with a visual example. Also, you explain the motivation for the choices of algorithm as you come across them. Variance reduction is key! Very nice - keep it up!
Just came across your channel and i must say you deserve a lot of accolades for how much effort you put into visualizing these concepts and explaining the motivation behind everything so well. Good job really. Not many like you out here
I've done a few machine learning courses on TH-cam and LinkedIn and none of them give a good explanation for bagging and I struggled with why and how you would logically aggregate over many models with different parameters and the feasibility of the application of such models. After watching this, I see a clearer picture. Thank you I've been normalized ;)
Well done! I've been reading/watching tutorials on this subject ad nauseam for the past week and yours was the first to clearly explain it. Will definitely be watching more of your videos.
This is amazing... I spent a lot of time searching for the right channel to understand machine learning, still there were complexities understanding, but this is simple and well explained... Thanks and keep posting videos!!
Awesome video! You explained the concept so much better than many university lectures. I would just like to make a quick point about the random feature selection step when bootstrapping. (imho) According to most recent/popular papers on random forest algorithms, the most common and efficient approach appears to randomly select feature subsets at each node when traversing each tree rather than selecting it only once at the tree level. One explanation I found online is that "while sampling features at every node still allows the trees to see most variables (in different orders) and learn complex interactions, using a subsample for every tree greatly limits the amount of information that a single tree can learn. This means that trees grown in this fashion are going to be less deep, and with much higher bias, in particular for complex datasets. On the other hand, it is true that trees built this way will tend to be less correlated to each other, as they are often built on completely different subsets of features, but in most scenarios, this will not outweigh the increase in bias, therefore, giving a worse performance on most use cases." I really hope this was clear. Any comments are very welcome!
I am sending you much appreciation, talented stranger! You earned my like and subscription. I am currently getting into programming / GIS and I am very happy to have stumbled across your channel!
I was struggling with this concept, but your video was so informative and clearly explained the idea behind it. Instantly subscribed to your channel. Thank you for sharing your great work.
Hey, your explanation about the maths behind the algorithms with pretty visualisation is awesome. Please upload more videos for other Algorithms, So that begginers like me can enjoy the learning.
OMG.....Really thank u for this ..... i literally haven't seen such an amazing Explanation on Random Forest.... it really helped me to get a perfectly clear picture about this Algo....
Thanks so much! This is so helpful! I’m considering employing RF for diagnosis classification in neuro-imaging, and this video made me understand that RF may be the right fit for my task!
Hi, I accidentally found your TH-cam channel and then noticed it is very informative and helpful! Thank you so much for the high-quality content. Please we are looking for more ML algorithms from scratch specially the ensemble algorithms, we will be so grateful if you make videos on those, too!
Dude this video and the video on decision trees have better content than a full semester on my master's degree. Very very good and clear explanation 👏 👌!!
@@NormalizedNerd i dont think syllabus is the reason why would they spent 4 - 5 hrs on random forest then. Its about the technique. However in class teacher cannot focus on every student and also people who search on internet are all dedicated to learn unlike to that of class which is sort of compulsory and you do not get the time of your choice also
I think there is a little bit of miss information(as I've watched some other videos like statquest and read some articles) we do not use the same randomly selected subset of features through out the tree from root node to last decision node but we randomly select a subset of features at each decision node to decrease the correlation between the decision trees and make them more robust.
Hey, Really superb videos with a clear explanation & the graphical represntation will help to understand easily, Thanks for the videos and expecting more in future.
this is a really good quick summary of how random forest work. A quick question- during boostrapping, why we do random sampling with replacement, rather than random sampling without replacement? is there any research conducted to demonstrate one is better than the other?
if your bootstrap generated datasets are the same size as the input, then every sample by selecting without replacement would just be a permutation of the original data. with replacement, the proportion of unique entries tends to 1-1/e.
Amazing video! I learned a lot on how this works. Will you or do you have videos that talk about what kind of real application scenarios are the best to use the random forests model and why.
Great video. But according to some sources, features are are sampled randomly at each node level, not at each tree level. For the first tree, we wouldn't select x0 and x1 for the whole tree, but only for the first node. Then for the second split we would randomly select two features, maybe x0 and x1 but maybe x3 and x2. Is this a variant of the RF algorithm or was my understanding wrong? Do you happen to have a source of the original algorithm? Nevertheless great video and impressive amount of work put into it!
Thanks a lot...and great question! Firstly, your understanding is correct. Selecting a random subset of features at each node is more popular nowadays. But in the video, I followed Tin Kam Ho's 1998 paper 'The Random Subspace Method for Constructing Decision Forests' where he used a random subset of features for each tree. ("My method relies on an autonomous, pseudorandom procedure to select a small number of dimensions from a given feature space. In each pass, such a selection is made and a subspace is fixed where all points have a constant value (say, zero) in the unselected dimensions. All samples are projected to this subspace, and a decision tree is constructed using the projected training samples.") The reason I did this is to reduce the complexity of the explanation :)
@@NormalizedNerd thanks so much for the reply. I used to see both variants in various esplanations now it makes sense to me! Keep up the good work I am a huge fan of your videos :-)
how anyone can do so much hard work to make this type of video for us. its amazing work. i can understand how those animations are important for machine learning problem. thank you very much
Excellent video, thank you! I got one small comment. In the original algorithm, a subset of features is selected at every node of the tree. So every tree gets the total set of features, but only a random subset of these features is used at every node.
can I ask, when you are passing in the new data point at 5:08, for x0 and x1, why the 2.8 did not reach to leaf 0? but only just 6.2 has a leaf node of 1??
i suppose you already know that, but for others who are asking the same question, this happened because the first if statement was satisfied x1 is greater than 4.9 thus it moved to the right leaf(which led to 1),and if you are using sklearn for ML you will see the argument when creating a model, it might prompt you to set a random forest.
My mathematical heart cracked when he casually said "log or square root of the total number of features". Those two values could be many orders of magnitude different from each other.
Hi man, first of all your videos are amazing. It is nice to see, that you can describe such complex topics so easy!! Do you have the name of the paper, which investigate that the number of selected features should be near to the log or square root?
Hi, The explanation is very nice. One thing i am missing is how the tree is deciding which feature to select as root node and in case of continuous variable, what value the root node should check to make the decision? If this is explained, then it will be perfect in my opinion. Overall Good work. Keep it up.
At 6:39, you are saying that the the trees will act similarly which will increase the variance. Why would that increase the variance if they're behaving the same?
Easily the best video on Random Forests I've seen

variance can be reduced by increasing the no of estimators or trees and by decreasing the no of row sample and column samples for each tree
