Study Notes
Artificial Intelligence
- Artificial Intelligence (AI) aims to use computers to mimic human intelligence.
- Machine Learning (ML) is a subset of AI, focusing on algorithms that learn from data and generalize to unseen data.
- ML can be categorized into three types:
- Supervised Learning: Data is given with labels.
- Unsupervised Learning: Data is given without labels.
- Reinforcement Learning: Data is generated by trial and error.
Machine Learning Algorithms
- Classic ML algorithms include Decision Trees, Random Forest, Train-test split, and Confusion matrix.
- Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) are often referred to as “Deep Learning”.
Unsupervised Learning
- Examples of Unsupervised Learning include:
- Chat-GPT: No labels are provided. The model seeks patterns in data, aiming to understand and visualize the natural language.
Supervised Learning
- Examples of Supervised Learning include:
- Image Recognition: The model has labeled data and is trained to approximate a 2D plot of the images using ML, aiming to create the most accurate representation possible.
Reinforcement Learning
- Examples of Reinforcement Learning include:
- Self-Learning Autonomous Cars: Models learn by trial and error, generating their own database through interactions with the environment.
Email Spam Filters
- Spam filters utilize ML to identify spam messages.
- The 1990s and 2000s saw a wide adoption of ML for email spam filtering.
- Each email is labeled as “spam” or “no spam”, forming a dataset for training.
Computer Intelligence
- Computers use binary code (0 and 1) for representing data.
- Numerical operations, mathematical functions, statistics, and programming are fundamental aspects of computer intelligence.
- The speed and memory capabilities of computers allow them to excel in complex calculations and data processing.
Typical ML Intelligence
- Models are evaluated by assessing their accuracy on a test dataset.
- The error caused by the model is a metric that indicates performance.
- Finding the minima of the error function helps minimize the model's prediction error.
Principal Component Analysis (PCA)
- PCA is used to reduce the dimensionality of data.
- It transforms data into a lower number of principal components (PCs).
- The first principal component (PC1) is the direction that maximizes the variation of projected data points.
- Each subsequent PC is orthogonal to the previous.
- The angle between PC1 and the input features reveals the importance of each feature.
- PCA allows for visualization of high-dimensional data and identification of key features.
Examples of PCA Applications
- Human-level control in deep reinforcement learning.
- Analysis of E.Coli presence in sea beaches.
- Explainable AI (XAI) using PCA for visualization of complex neural networks.
Data Preprocessing
- Data preprocessing is an important step that enhances data quality.
- It involves identifying and handling outliers, creating a baseline or imputation for missing values, and splitting data into training and testing sets.
Linear Regression
- A classic statistical technique used in regression analysis to predict continuous variables.
- The goal is to fit a straight line to the data using the least squares method, minimizing the sum of squared errors.
- The parameters (k and m) of the line are adjusted to minimize the total error, measured by error metrics such as MSE (Mean Square Error) and MAE (Mean Absolute Error).
Non-Linear Regression
- Allows for predicting non-linear relationships between variables.
- The model uses non-linear functions, such as exponential or logarithmic functions, to capture the curvature of the data.
Python Code Example
- The example demonstrates the implementation of linear regression in Python with the Scikit-learn library.
- It predicts the petal length of a flower based on its other features.
Classification
- Decision Trees are used for classification problems, splitting the data based on features, creating a binary tree.
- Random Forest adds randomization by splitting data into multiple Decision Trees, resulting in a more robust and less prone to overfitting model.
Logistic Regression
- A powerful classification model that predicts the probability of a sample belonging to a particular class.
- It's often used in binary classification problems where the output is a probability between 0 and 1.
Baseline Models
- Baseline models serve as a reference point for evaluating the performance of other more complex models.
- These models are typically simple, such as the nearest neighbor (KNN) with k=1, using all features or only one feature.
MNIST Digit Recognition
- The example demonstrates the use of Machine Learning for recognizing handwritten digits in the MNIST dataset.
- It also focuses on strategies for improvement, such as prioritizing tricky classes, reducing overfitting, and performing data augmentation.
Overfitting
- Occurs when a model performs well on the training data but struggles with unseen test data.
- This can be due to a complex model, too many features, or a limited amount of training data.
Addressing Overfitting
- Techniques to reduce overfitting include:
- Reducing the number of features using PCA or feature selection methods.
- Increasing the size of the training dataset.
- Applying data augmentation to generate realistic artificial data.
