Study Notes
Common Algorithms in Machine Learning
- Linear Regression: Utilized for predicting continuous output variables from input features.
- Logistic Regression: Applied in binary classification tasks to determine two distinct outcomes.
- Decision Trees and Random Forests: Tree-based models effective for both regression and classification problems.
- Support Vector Machines (SVM): Identifies the optimal hyperplane to separate different classes in classification tasks.
- Neural Networks: Versatile models adept at recognizing complex patterns; applicable in image recognition and natural language processing.
Applications of Machine Learning
- Spam Detection: Classifies emails into spam or legitimate categories.
- Sentiment Analysis: Evaluates text data to identify sentiment as positive, negative, or neutral.
- Medical Diagnosis: Predicts diseases using patient data to support healthcare decisions.
- Stock Price Prediction: Analyzes historical data to forecast future stock prices.
- Object Recognition: Detects and identifies objects within images or videos.
Unsupervised Learning Overview
- Definition: Involves training models on unlabelled datasets to discover patterns without predefined outcomes.
-
Key Concepts:
- Training Data: Consists of input data without corresponding output labels.
- Model Training: The model seeks to detect inherent structures in the data.
- Evaluation: Often assessed qualitatively or through specific metrics like the silhouette score for clustering.
Common Algorithms in Unsupervised Learning
- K-Means Clustering: Divides data into K distinct clusters based on similarity.
Comparison of Learning Types
-
Supervised Learning:
- Labeled Data: Requires data with input-output pairs for training.
- Goal: Predict outputs based on new input data.
- Common Algorithms: Linear/Logistic Regression, Decision Trees, SVM, Neural Networks.
- Applications: Spam detection, sentiment analysis, medical diagnosis.
- Evaluation Metrics: Accuracy, precision, recall, F1-score.
-
Unsupervised Learning:
- Labeled Data: Does not require labeled data.
- Goal: Discover hidden structures and relationships in data.
- Common Algorithms: K-Means, Hierarchical Clustering, PCA, t-SNE.
- Applications: Customer segmentation, anomaly detection, market basket analysis.
- Evaluation Metrics: Silhouette score, inertia, explained variance.
Learning Paradigms
-
Batch Learning:
- Definition: Trains models on the entire dataset collectively.
-
Key Characteristics:
- Involves processing full datasets, requiring significant computational resources.
- Model remains fixed after initial training until retraining occurs.
- Training can be prolonged with larger datasets.
-
Instance-Based Learning:
- Definition: Stores training data for direct comparison during prediction.
-
Key Characteristics:
- Lacks an explicit model; work is primarily done at prediction.
- Relies on similarity measures between new instances and stored examples.
- Defers complex computations until the prediction moment (lazy learning).
Common Algorithms for Instance-Based Learning
- K-Nearest Neighbors (KNN): Assigns labels to new instances based on the majority label of its closest neighbors.
- Locally Weighted Learning: Makes predictions using a weighted average derived from surrounding instances.
Advantages of Instance-Based Learning
- Simplicity: Easy to comprehend and implement.
- Adaptability: Can assimilate new data rapidly without needing retraining.
- Flexibility: Effectively models intricate relationships without requiring predefined functions.
