Statistical and Machine Learning Techniques applied to Noisy Data

Question: Given a form of Noisy Sensor data, How do you apply Statistical/Machine learning techniques to interpret it? This is a rather broad question with many interpretations. I would approach this to ask follow up questions e.g. What is the goal? One goal could be to get a high confidence value of the data or to understand how noisy the data is? Possible Answers: 1. If the goal is to model the noisy data, one option can be to model it as a Gaussian or Normal Distribution . In this case, the sample mean or expected value can be a reliable measure of the noisy sensor data. Once, you have fit a distribution to the data - variance can help as a tool to understand the effect of noise. 2. If the goal is to apply machine learning tools to predict next sample, one can use tools like Linear Regression or a Neural Network to fit the data to better understand and predict next sample based on features. 3. Another goal can be predicting outliers, one can apply Clustering methods l...

What do you mean by Attention?

Question:  What do you mean by Attention? What are the types of Attention in Neural Networks? Expected Answer: Define attention as a representation of a distribution learnt by a Neural Network, use case and an example. You could also specify types of attention and give applications of each.
