Masters in AI/ML

The Masters in AI/ML series is my open learning journal through the IIITB + LJMU Masters program — where every concept, assignment, and breakthrough becomes a story.

These blogs translate dense academic theory into clear, relatable insights on mathematics, machine learning, and data science. Each post blends technical rigor with lived experience — reflecting not just what I’m learning, but how it’s reshaping the way I think, build, and rebuild.

This category is for anyone walking the same path — students, professionals, or self-learners — who believe that understanding the logic behind intelligence is the first step to creating it.

Least Squares Approximation — Lines, Losses & the Art of Starting Again

When I first met Least Squares Approximation, it felt more human than math — not chasing perfection, just reducing regret. This piece connects its quiet geometry to rebuilding careers, startups, and selves: finding the best fit when life’s data looks noisy.

Inverse, Rank, Column Space & Null Space — The Pillars of Linear Algebra

Linear algebra isn’t just math — it’s the geometry of understanding. The inverse restores what’s lost, rank reveals independence, column space defines possibility, and null space hides decay. These aren’t just properties of matrices — they’re principles for building stable systems, meaningful models, and resilient lives.

Transformations in a Different Basis – Rotating Perspectives

When math meets life, clarity is often a rotation away. From PCA matrices to personal comebacks, the same principle applies: don’t rebuild the system—reframe it. Here’s how rotating perspectives, in equations and real choices, reveals structure where chaos once lived.
