Price elasticity model [R](reddit.com)
Need to build a ml model to find the price elasticity at the product group level first the given price and discount. What are features I need have and which model used in the industry for these type of use cases . I have used regression and random regression to predict the qty sold. Looking for help on this submitted by /u/batmanparam [link] [Kommentare]
Loss functions in Instance Representation Learning [R](reddit.com)
In Wu et. al, the MLE objective is computationally infeasible due to the high number of images in the dataset. Non-parametric Softmax Negative Log-Likelihood With large n, the denominator in (2) is hard to compute. Therefore, they use NCE (Noise-Contrastive Estimation). The NCE Objective Essentially, they approximate the difficult loss in (3) with the easier to compute loss in (7). However, we end up estimating the denominator anyways in (8). Why not just approximate the denominator in (2) with (8)? I asked Claude about this and it said something about it being a biased estimator, but I didn't really get that. I'm also a little confused on the connection of the original NCE formulation as being a way to estimate density and the way it is used here; do we do this because NCE loss is easier to compute and as m (the number of noise samples) increases, we get the gradients of NCE loss and gradients of NLL loss to match? submitted by /u/No_Balance_9777 [link] [Kommentare]
