 Bayesian Learning: Inference & 

EM Algorithm Explained

Bayesian learning updates beliefs using Bayes' theorem, refining models with new data. Inference estimates hidden variables, while the Expectation-Maximization (EM) algorithm iteratively finds maximum likelihood estimates for models with latent variables. EM alternates between expectation (E-step) and maximization (M-step) to improve parameter estimates until convergence, making it powerful for probabilistic learning.

Bayesian Learning & Inference

Bayesian learning is a statistical approach that updates probabilities as more evidence (data) becomes available. It relies on Bayes' Theorem:

P(θ∣D)=P(D∣θ)P(θ)P(D)P(\theta | D) = \frac{P(D | \theta) P(\theta)}{P(D)}

where:

  • P(θ∣D)P(\theta | D) is the posterior probability of parameters θ\theta given data DD.
  • P(D∣θ)P(D | \theta) is the likelihood (probability of data given parameters).
  • P(θ)P(\theta) is the prior belief about parameters.
  • P(D)P(D) is the evidence (normalizing constant).

Bayesian inference refines parameter estimates using this principle, making it effective for probabilistic modeling.

Expectation-Maximization (EM) Algorithm

The EM algorithm is used when data has latent (hidden) variables, making direct estimation difficult. It iterates between two steps:

  1. Expectation (E-step): Computes expected values of hidden variables based on current parameter estimates.
  2. Maximization (M-step): Updates parameters to maximize the expected likelihood.

This process continues until convergence, refining model parameters iteratively. EM is widely used in clustering (e.g., Gaussian Mixture Models), missing data problems, and probabilistic learning.

Detecting Co-Resident Attacks in 5G Clouds! Detecting co-resident attacks in 5G clouds involves identifying malicious activities where attackers share physical cloud resources with victims to steal data or disrupt services. Techniques like machine learning, behavioral analysis, and resource monitoring help detect unusual patterns, ensuring stronger security and privacy in 5G cloud environments. Detecting Co-Resident Attacks in 5G Clouds In a 5G cloud environment, many different users (including businesses and individuals) share the same physical infrastructure through virtualization technologies like Virtual Machines (VMs) and containers. Co-resident attacks occur when a malicious user manages to place their VM or container on the same physical server as a target. Once co-residency is achieved, attackers can exploit shared resources like CPU caches, memory buses, or network interfaces to gather sensitive information or launch denial-of-service (DoS) attacks. Why are Co-Resident Attack...

                        Neural Networks Neural networks are computing systems inspired by the human brain, consisting of layers of interconnected nodes (neurons). They process data by learning patterns from input, enabling tasks like image recognition, language translation, and decision-making. Neural networks power many AI applications by adjusting internal weights through training with large datasets.                                                    Structure of a Neural Network Input Layer : This is where the network receives data. Each neuron in this layer represents a feature in the dataset (e.g., pixels in an image or values in a spreadsheet). Hidden Layers : These layers sit between the input and output layers. They perform calculations and learn patterns. The more hidden layers a ne...
